Creation vs. Evolution

[oldjones]

If you computer was designed as intelligently as the human eye, the cableing would all plug into the centre of the screen, like the nerves into the retina.

What intelligence led the designer to include a deliberate blindspot in the middle of the eye?

Is it possible that god/gods/the spaghetti monster are controlling evolution? Sure. Is that a scientific theory? Not a chance.

Actually I find it a bit funny that religious types try to disparage science by calling science a religion.

Believe what you want but science shouldn't act like a religion and religion shouldn't masquerade as a science.

Nah, I think every religion should be represented in Science class.

Our Native pals have a creation theory. According to their conception of things, Spirit Woman fell from the sky, and landed on the back of Turtle. This became the firmament of ground, and from hence sprang the race of men from holes.

It's not much of a theory, but it is a theory...

And the Flat Earth Society should have representation in the classroom as well.

Hey, that's FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER there friend. Have some respect!



Damned unbelievers! Sheesh!

during the cambrian explosion about 550 million years ago, complex species suddenly appeared over a period of 15 million years or so. We are talking about very complex animals, some of which have remained unchanged today appear suddenly without and fossil record of any earlier or simpler forms. Prior to the cambrian explosion there is absolutely nothing in the fossil record other than plants and single celled organisms.

The fossil record is not complete, and it can never be. Fossil beds represent limited samples of biological assemblages randomly dispersed in space and time. There are often big gaps in the record, but in some places, the fossil record is very rich and the temporal sequences of samples are very close to one another. While gaps of millions of years are common, some places will sample fossils seperated by only a few thousand of years. A lot of biological change can happen in the course of 15 million of years, which looks like a big jump. Our ancestors 15 million years ago kinda looked like chimps jumping in trees. But when you have a dense and rich fossil record, you can see very progressive change over time. And that rich fossil record confirms the predictions of the theories expressed by Darwin and other evolutionists since then. Museums are full of fossils and any paleontologist will be as excited as a terbite going to SRM in showing people how much fossils can tell. The moronic and closedminded creationists should only pay a visit to a museum instead of spewing idiotic statements. It's all there to see and every year, more and more fossils come out of the ground. You don't need Santa Claus or another bearded old fart living on a cloud to explain how life has evolved on the earth in the past 4.5 billion years.

A hard core evolutionist professor changes his outlook when faced with the overwhelming scientific evidence against evolution.

I won't tackle this "overwhelming scientific evidence against evolution" because I don't have time to watch the entire video. But, what did he change his outlook to?
