Would anyone like to see how perverted and distorted the christian perspective is? Feel free to correct it..?

Question

"..Evolution is just an elaborate theory, plain and simple. The world takes it as truth when it is not.

Here is something for those who believe in Darwin inspired evolution -- explain the utter lack of transitional fossils. There have never been any found in the last 150 years of scientific research and fossils collected. Shouldn't there be just a ton of these, ever since animals evolved into something new?!! I guess it just happened over night, huh.

What is meant by transitional fossils, for those who aren't clear with the term, are fossils that are in transition from the old creature to the new, or the states of change from one thing to another.

Oh yeah, and what about dinosaur prints and human prints being found side by side in the rock strata. And what about Myan and other civilizations who have artwork containing images of people fighting off dinousaurs. Hmmmm??.."

To anyone whi actually believes the above 'quote', ARE YOU SERIOUS..??

There is no scientific suggestion of man co existing with dinosours. It is fabricated story, just like your bible.

Didn't you people recieve an education past breastfeeding..? Oh dear ...!!

Answer 1

Darwins book title says it all to me - "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

The basis of your argument is a piece of "literature" that is racist. That enuff correction for you?

Do you know the difference between MICRO and MACRO evolution? MICRO happens all the time, there is NOT A SHRED of evidence that MACRO-evolution has EVER occurred. Next you will try and tell us all that human embryos have gill slits, or that Lucy is not a FRAUD!

I am pleased that you thumbs down me for quoting the FULL TITLE of the book that is your bible! Keep going, let's see how many you can put there :p

Answer 2

Well, first off, no one wants to base your religious and scientific arguments on Mayan artwork. Erich Von Daniken did that in "Chariot of the Gods" and looked pretty silly.

Second, this is a science question, not a religion question. If a person really wants an answer, they need to post where people who understand fossil records might be hanging out. Of course, when a person uses the phrase "for those who aren't clear with the term," it kind of implies they're just trying to start and win an argument, not actually learn something.

Third, the asker is setting up an argument unfairly, saying that in order to prove evolution, a person must prove to that person that what THEY think is evolution actually occurred. But since their understanding of evolution is probably flawed, no one will ever be able to satisfactorily explain evolution to them.

Now, as for the transitional fossils, here how I (a Religion and spirituality answerer) understand the problem.

The odds of any animal being fossilized is extremely small. An animal has to die in an environment where either sediment is gathering and will continue to gather until it fuses into a sedimentary rock, or the creature must die near tar, oozing sap, or in very cold conditions where it will stay completely frozen. And that place then has to become exposed again, so it might be found by geologists, but not exposed very long, or else it might be damaged to the point of not being recognizable.

If this is the case, then every animal, or every species, might not be found in the fossil record.

A "transitional species," would probably exist for a much shorter time, and be less successful than it's descendants, whose further mutations would make them much more abundant. A slug with a soft shell might scrape along, but if that shell becomes harder a million generations later, then hard shell slugs/snail population would explode, and drown out its soft shell ancestors. (Important note: I don't know anything about the evolution of snails, this is a fanciful illustration!)

ps. I re-read your question, and realized that the quote wasn't necessarily you, so I went back and took out all the "You"s and replaced them with "they"s and "person"s. I hope I got all the awkward things out.

Answer 3

check it out, we have transitional fossils, they are of intermediary species and ones between earlier life and later ones.

Different traits occur in one species and they breed until they become normal where once they were extraordinary, such as the long necks of giraffes. Now these creatures breed with themselves, until they can be called a seperate species form the one pre-dating them. You will not find the single giraffe that had a giant neck and assume that all the ones before him had ones the size of you and me, it doesn't work like that. they grew over time. If you could finda complete fossil record you would see the necks growing as the centuries progressed. But guess what, we don't have it and for a good reason. Because fossilization is an uncommon occurance. Many animals die and are eaten, they bones are crunched by carnivores or broken down by bacteria into worm food. It takes an uncommon event to create a fossil and the animal just has to happen to be there looking at the pretty coloutrs before he gets toasted or swallowed up. Hard as it may seem right now but evoltion invented smart creatures, and as a result the percenatage of life on the earth preserved by fossils is miniscule, a tiny percentage. There's always going to be an incomplete fossil record, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

Answer 4

I can add to that.

inside a mayan structure an immage was found of a man in a spaceship, also, hyrogliphics were found showing a space craft and a modern day helicopter in an egytian temple, the egytian hyroglyphs were dated at over 5000 years old, pretey strange concidering helecopters are supposed to be a reletively new invention and spaceships are still seen as mythical sciencefiction, the christian community deny the existance of this, such factual evidence of civilised culture possibly from outer space, which would debunk the GOD theory, because in the bible, hidden in the text, in a number of places is described a rocket powered spacecraft.
They also deny that neuclear war was not what destroyed soddom and gamora.
If a neuclear device was built that could destroy two cities to dust then it is no wonder no links can be found in the evolutin of man, it all got blown up and turned to dust.
They also cannot explain the nascar plains, nor the existance of a medalion dated at 6000+ years with a picture of a aeroplane on it. I would like them to explian one more fact, in a coal mine 1.5kms under ground, while mining for coal in wales in a coal seam dated at 360000000 years, the miners unearthed two puzzeling things,
1/ A cup made from fine china,
2/ A gold chain, of such a purity that is manufactured purity is not achievable even with todays modern methods.
That means man has been on earth for over 360000000 years. much longer than the christians theory of 6000 to 10000 years.

Answer 5

There are many species on this planet and there are many that have gone extinct. There is nothing transitional about it, that is just a particular species all it's own. Species are going extinct all the time and a lot of them are doing so with great help from mankind.

If I walk into a cave and draw a picture of a man and some weird creature on the the wall of the cave just for my own amusement, does that make the creature I've drawn on the wall real? This is something that I might actually do.

Answer 6

Christianity is not how we got here. We got here on pure selfishness. We stole the land from the Native Americans and brought Africans over to work as slaves. The founding fathers did not bother protecting the rights of Native Americans nor freeing the slaves. This country was built on the exploitation of human labor-from the European immigrants to the Chinese to the present day Latin American immigrants. All religions that have come to the US have valued the family. Not one immigrant group came over with the intent to destroy the family unit. They all wanted to preserve the traditional family unity. As for the replacing the Christian fish with Darwin trash and the survival of the fittest, this is garbage also. Remember the Protestant value of pre-determination. If you were meant to be rich you were rich, if you were meant to be poor you were poor. God selected who would be better than someone one else. How is this better than the survival of the fittest. And any connection between Darwin and the over glamorizing of Hollywood is just a gigantic stretch in logic. They have nothing to do with each other. You could also point to industrialization as the cause of the breakdown of the family and the poverty it caused making people wanting to escape into the lives of the rich and famous. Darwin is a scientific theory that has nothing to do with the morality of people. It does not make it easier or more difficult to lead of life of morality or evil. Why to try to get others to believe the way you do. Let people figure out their religious life for themselves. It is a violent act to tell someone that their way of believing is not correct, but YOURS is.

Answer 7

Perhaps you should redo your home work there are plenty of "transitional" fossils to show the evolution of humans and other animals too, did you know that genetically a humans DNA differs from modern apes DNA by only about 1 percent, by the way I am Christian I think not all things in the bible should be interpreted literally its like Einstein said god is subtle not malicious to many Christians look at science as an adversary when it is not the more you see how everything seems to have a law an order a logical answer the more it suggest intelligent design the Bible is great but sometimes you cant take it so literal

Answer 8

And what about Job 40 v. 15-18
Its written text of a dinosaur.
Whats the argument?
All mankind has a perverted distorted perspective on things.
What came first the chicken or the egg?
I say the universe came first then the earth
then the lizard that evovled into a chicken.
Who cares about the egg its here.

Answer 9

People in Egypt thought cats guarded the underworld, and had pictures portraying that. Do they? My cat just likes stealing socks.

The spacey-types claim that ancient drawings have depicted travelers from space, but there is no proof of that either.

What Christian denies dinosaurs? I don't deny them. They lived at one time or another. Never heard a Biblical account to dispute it. But I certainly know who created them. I guess there was some kind of flaw with the Myans, they certainly didn't survive.

Christian perspective perverted? Hardly.

Answer 10

It is perverted and distorted :- Evolution (one species changing into a higher one) is not even a THEORY. It's merely a hypothesis, and not even a very good one at that. Christians need to be aware that a SCIENTIFIC theory is something completely different form something that is theoretical.

Answer 11

Fossils are imprints of formerly living organisms that hav undergone transformation from organic material to minerals.
In other words...dead stuff.
Never have been able to figure out why some folks looks at dead stuff and say, "Hey, this is evidence of new and different life!"
NO! It is merely evidence that a whole lot of a species died at some point in time.
It is NOT evidence that new species began.
I freakin' dare any of the evolooniarists to answer that!
