Your scientific "evidence" for evolution is laughable

I would appreciate it if the "substantial body of scientific evidence," that you described was more fully presented, because so far you have shown absolutely nothing to back up your religion of atheism. You are utterly wrong on the discovery of DNA "proving" evolution. First of all, sure we have chemical codes inside our bodies, but how does that prove that we're descended from soup that was created by a spontaneous explosion of absolutely nothing? After all, where would all that information come from and how would it be perfectly coded (without a Coder) to create life? Try shooting lightning into your bowl of chicken noodle soup and see if it comes alive. "Oh," you say, "that would take millions of years." See what you just did? No? Well at the very moment you said "millions of years," you ditched science and began formulating a theory about the past that cannot be proven. You're relying on FAITH, you're relying on religion. As Charles Darwin himself conceded, "it takes more faith to believe in my theory than to believe in God." Which is simpler -- in the beginning GOD, or in the beginning NOTHING? Also are you not accented with elementary physics (matter can not be created nor destroyed) as I am? (God obviously can work around that whenever He wants) Also, back to DNA. You confuse variations within species, which creationists are perfectly fine with, with atoms to man evolution. New information can NOT be a creature passes on its DNA to its offspring, buy rather certain bits of DNA are activated to create a unique animal. Evolution on an interspecial scale, however, requires new DNA information to be created, which geneticists realize is impossible. So evolution is impossible.

Scientifically this is a FACT. Like it or not, you're wrong.

Here are some specific examples that show humans have evolved over millions of years:

1. Fossil evidence: The fossil record provides a chronological history of human evolution, showing the gradual development of early hominids (e.g., Australopithecus) into anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens). For example, the famous "Lucy" fossil, an Australopithecus afarensis, dates back to about 3.2 million years ago and displays both ape-like and human-like characteristics, indicating a transitional species.

2. Comparative anatomy: When comparing the anatomy of humans with other primates,… Read more we can observe numerous similarities, such as the structure of our hands, feet, and skulls. These shared traits suggest a common ancestry and provide evidence for evolution. Furthermore, the presence of vestigial structures, such as the human appendix and tailbone, indicate that these features were once functional in our evolutionary past but have since become less important for survival.

3. Molecular biology: DNA comparisons between humans and other species reveal the degree of relatedness between organisms. For example, humans share about 98.7% of their DNA with chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, which supports the idea that we share a common ancestor. Additionally, the study of pseudogenes (non-functional gene sequences) in the human genome provides further evidence for evolution, as these sequences are remnants of once-functional genes that have lost their ability to be expressed due to mutations.

4. Embryology: The study of embryonic development reveals similarities between humans and other vertebrates, suggesting common ancestry and evolutionary relationships. For example, during the early stages of development, human embryos have pharyngeal slits (like fish) and a tail (like reptiles), which eventually disappear as the embryo develops into a human fetus.

5. Biogeography: The distribution of species across the globe provides evidence for evolution. For example, the unique flora and fauna found on the Galapagos Islands, which inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, indicate that species adapt to their environments over time, leading to the formation of new species.

Alright let's handle your "evidence" systematically.

Fossil evidence. Alright, the fossil record, you say, proves that soup turned into human beings. I'd beg to differ. All of your gradually evolving bones that you have discovered, let me tell you that not ONE of them has ever been fully formed AT ALL. For example, Lucy, who was hailed as the "missing link" between apes and man, was in fact two bones that they found one and a half miles apart from two separate animals that they glued together and with a little imagination got a "cavewoman." She was not a transitional species at all, you have been LIED TO.

Comparative naatomy. Supposedly because we have similarities to apes we once were apes, huh? Think again. Charles Darwin himself calculated that for species to be directly linked to another, and here he was specifically talking about apes and men, there would have to be 95 percent genetic similarity. But with apes and men, what we find is 85% genetic similarity, making the assertion that we are directly descended from apes impossible even by the low standards of evolution. Also, the large brow lines that you claim are proof of transitional humanoids are in reality hyper-aged humans who lived 900 years just like the Bible and countless other religious texts speak of. The brow lines are exactly what we as creationists would expect. Your humanoids are in reality human beings who walked among the patriarchs.

Molecular biology. Humans do not share 98.7 percent of there DNA with apes, those numbers were made in the '60s when we had inferior technology and they've since been proved to be less than 85%, just no one wants to admit it.

Embryology. Are you saying that because babies look different than humans somehow proves we came from soup? If so, you're crazy. Those "Tails" in fact serve distinct purposes and are clearly an intelligent design.

Biogeography. The distribution of species across the globe provides no evidence for evolution. The flora and fauna found on the Galápagos Islands, were created there by God. It proves nothing.

Let me add my own point -- Charles Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is opposite from his theory of evolution, though he had no way of knowing it at the time because he lacked DNA technology. In reality, DNA cannot create new information, which makes macro-evolution impossible, but it always looses DNA, making natural selection possible, and indeed we've seen it happening with wolves to dogs and such. WE creationists accept wolves to dogs, just not soup to man.

Explain morality with evolution? Why are some things right or wrong? We can all agree that murder, rape, and theft are wrong, but why? If some of those could further the purposes of the species, what does that mean for morality? There can be no morality in evolution. I'm not saying, let me be clear, that you're necessarily immoral, but that you're logically inconsistent -- with evolution you'd have no reason to believe in morality or conscience. Hitler was logically consistent though terribly wrong, which is why the Holocaust happened -- he was a devout Darwinist who believed in evolution and thought he was furthering the species by killing innocent Jews.

Why do we have laws of logic without God? How did they originate, and why? Please explain.

@moviebuff_mandyGreenfrom Alabama corrected…10mos10MO

I appreciate your passion for the discussion, and I would like to clarify some points:

1. Fossil evidence: The "Lucy" fossil is not just two bones glued together. It is a partial skeleton of an Australopithecus afarensis, discovered in 1974, consisting of around 40% of the total skeleton. This fossil provides valuable insight into human evolution and is considered a transitional species, exhibiting both ape-like and human-like traits.

2. Comparative anatomy: The 95% genetic similarity claim attributed to Charles Darwin is inaccurate, as DNA was not discovered until almost a century… Read more after Darwin's time. Modern research shows that humans and chimpanzees share around 98.7% of their DNA, supporting the idea of a common ancestor.

There is no objective evidence to support the idea of creationism nor the mere existence of any deity or higher power; your personal beliefs are fundamentally based on nothing but faith and "what-if's", and is in no way legitimate or comparable to scientific theory.

There is evidence, plenty of it. I just presented it to you watch the debate for more.
