Is Neodarwinism sufficient to explain life on this planet?

Answer 1

What is neodarwinism? did you just make that up? I think that the beginning of life on this planet was explained very well in the bible... but then they call us neoconservatives so...

Answer 2

Firstly this question is going to get a lot of religious people screaming. From I scientific point of view I would say no as well. Neo-Darwinism (the combination of Darwin's survival of the fittest and Mendel's genetics) is sufficient to explain incremental changes in organisms carrying genetic information. However, N-D does not explain the origin of this genetic information. Religious debaters may suggest that this origin of this material is God, science has other explanations but none are conclusive.

At the end of the day it's up to you what to believe on the balance of probabilities.

Certainly the Bible explains things pretty well. In fact, the Bible is inerrant, irrefutable proof that intelligent design is absolutely true. For example, the Bible says plants were created before there was any sunlight to feed them- all those botanists who tell us about their so-called "photosynthesis" are just a bunch of lying liars. Also, geologists, astronomers, and physicists are liars too in God's eyes, because he says there were days and nights before there was a sun (I wonder if it was cold). As everyone knows, birds came out of the water, before insects or reptiles were created (but after flowering plants), and women were made from ribs (who cares, they're inferior anyway according to the biblical view) after men were created from dirt (clay, whatever). According to Leviticus, insects have four legs, and we all know this is true from examining them up close when we were kids. Bats are birds of course (they don't really have mammary glands after all, and those are really beaks, not teeth) and camels don't divide the hoof (they don't have any toes).
When God drowned all the awful, sinful little children, bunnies, unclean puppies, and sinful embryos in the great flood for which there is no geological evidence, millions of animals and plants were saved on a boat only about 450 feet long, and they were all loaded onto it in a single day by a single family (and you thought Santa Claus was impressive!). The Bible also contains lessons in heredity, for example, the fact that goats get their coat pattern from whatever their parents happen to be looking at at the moment when they are conceived (have goat farmers ever tried this with tie-died patterns?). I didn't know that. I think someone should tell Dr. Francis Collins that he's all wrong about that DNA stuff, and he had best repent, because God says so.
And don't forget about the four-footed birds, giants, fire-breathing serpents, and unicorns! We've all seen some (come on, admit it!). So stop teaching children all that evil science stuff, it comes from Satan.

Answer 4

No it is just combining Godless creation with the God created inheritance patterns that Mendall realized happen in nature when certain combinations are bred together in botony and animal life. It is man using Gods "dirt" to create life. Ha!
