Every time you find a new piece of evidence, you modify your theory to fit the evidence.
If this was how the rest of science worked, we'd have things like cars, planes, computers, vaccines, and Playstation 3 by now. Science would be able to adapt to new pieces of information to form a more complete picture. That's blasphemy.
However, science should not work like this. If science worked the way religion does, it would dogmatically adhere to beliefs regardless of the evidence. That way, we'd never make any progress.
Oooh, you athilutionists make me so mad with your rational thinking and adjusting your beliefs to adapt to new information. Why can't you just be dogmatic and closed-minded like the rest of us?

But if Playstation 3 evolved from Xbox 360, why do I still have an Xbox 360?

in true science, one collects data and tries to make a comprehensible understanding of what you are seeing.
I have actually taken the time to read the material presented on evolution by those who actually teach it. I have read professor goulds work, and that of others. These respected scientist know there is a serious problem with evolution. That is not me talking, that is their writing.
I am amused that folks on this forum keep talking about evolution as fact when the worlds foremost authorities cant account for problems. Dr. Fricks knew that evolution is not fact so he just moved the problem from here by astrogenesis, or life from outer space.
The fossil record is complete.........geeze where did I get that from....my schooling in geology, my outside of school readings and studies
the evolutionary track of life in africa is well documented if you take evidence from many different strata, and miles away from where the other evidence is collected to make you monkey woman lucy and her husband wickie!
I think it is time to post a question with goulds, stevens and the others books, chapter and paragraph, leave the question open for about 3 months and let people read and come to their own conclusions.
I embrace truth, and I take a lot of heat for it, but I sleep good at night.

They really crack me up. So pompous and proud. They think everyone else is inane. What came first? Blood or the blood clotting factor? You would not need the blood clotting factor until there was blood and the first organism would have bled to death before moving anywhere in the chain. Hearing? Eyesight? Really guys if you think it just sorta happened you are way off base. Even Darwin no longer believed in evolution to the extent that some do today. After all it is still a theory huh. Mmm

Ok, first off that is the lamest attack on religion ever. In that paragraph alone you just showed how ignorant you are to religious beliefs. You clearly do not take the time to talk with anyone who is knowledgeable in a specific religion to find out what exactly to believe. You are close minded in that you think all religions believe the same thing. You are a fool and will always be one for as long as you keep your mind closed.

Great question, Monica. But I must ask, where is the transitional game? Where is your Xbox/Playstation hybrid?

There's nothing wrong with being "closeminded" as you call it. It means we know what we believe and adhere to it. Unlike many who don't even know what they believe. If I were "open minded" I would be open to anything satan wanted to throw at me.
I'm "closed minded" and very glad I am. It's not a bad thing.

It is how science works. Seriously, Newton had his branch of physics, but we no longer use it, because we learned space warps. Seriously, think before you post.

Fine, stop claiming that human evolution is a fact, then, until you can absolutely prove it and not have to change your mind the next day when some new skull is dug up.
