Welcome to Gaia! :: Evolution: Fact Or Fiction

Then maybe she should read Song of Solomon to clear her mind. Then read Genesis again because a good rereading really brings out the interesting/strange bits.

So a bunch of dirt was floating around and smushed together to create the Earth. Then Lava came up from the Earth and created the land. Then ashes from the volcanoes flew up and created the atmosphere. Later on, the atmosphere created clouds that rained down and created the ocean, and then by the changing temperature of the water the first organisms came to be. Wait, if jellyfish had to stun fish and eat fish to feed themselves, and fish came after jellyfish then what would jelly fish eat? Plenty of new species came after that like trilobites magically formed from jellyfish and bacteria that still exist today. Later on creatures crawled up on earth and morphed into what we are today and to top it off, it's all it's all based on the "Well Tested" Theory that the Earth and the Moon were created at the same time. Which is not likely (not like it could be tested any way), because if they were formed next to each other it would be very un probable because it would be quite a coincidence that they were created at the same time, If it broke off from the Earth it would be altered, and the shape would be a lot different similar to the shape of the earth and other planets in the solar system, which contradicts how they find the absolute age of fossils. If your not a Christian, or believe in any sort of after life, then how the world started shouldn't concern them any way.

God is the Ultimate Existence who most likely had nothing to create him except for the scientific rule that was something merely like “Every action has the same or opposite reaction” which could be used to be explain the existence of God. The question which this is in response to has been used a lot but can also be used similarly to the concept of evolution by the question: where did the first bit of matter come from? Or where did all the dust floating in space come from? The answer can’t be explained the same way the question about God can because dust is no where near an infinite being that can be created like wise. There would have to be an ultimate existence in order for anything to appear. Such as: a half cup can exist as long as a full cup can. Finite life can only exist if there is an ultimate being to give it purpose and potential.



If we really evolved from monkeys then where are the others in the evolutionary chain? If we evolved from micro organisms every thing would be unstable and constantly changing and mutating uncontrollably or predictably. The new reproductive system, different from a cell reproducing with itself could not have developed suddenly, it wouldn’t have happened. How could organisms stop reproducing with themselves and grow two new reproductive systems, dependant on other reproductive system within the same time period if it took millions of years, along with the theory in evolution that we developed a body that could live much longer than before. To believe that such a reproductive system could form like that would be unlikely, to think it worked and they found each other within the same time period would be insane.



Dinosaurs probably were dragons from the Medieval Times, there skeletal designs seem very similar, and they lived humans as was recorded in the Medieval Times; we believe everything else recorded, why not that? So since they lived at the same time as humans we didn’t evolve from them. The reason for the mass extinction is most likely because they have no reproductive system, but can live for a very long time because of its good body structure, hard scaly rough skin, and they lived in caves. It also says that on the Discovery Channel.

it's not a sure answer but more logical than the other ones.

Whoever was talking about the arc thing, scientists don't know how Noah built the arc, and he could have had God's help to make it float, and lastly: WHO SAID NOAH MANUALLY HARVESTED ALL THE ANIMALS? You act as if God didn't help. To whoever asked why God doesn't show up: Have you ever seen the word faith? If God showed himself all the time, we wouldn't need alot of faith.

Sorry, I disagree with you on this one. Scientist have built a miniature replica of Noah's arc and tested it in the conditions they believe the earth was in at that time. It has been proven that it could have actually stayed afloat the entire time as the Bible says. It was also proved impossible of capsizing. And yes, God definitly helped; even though it still took Noah 100 years. smile

I've had enough of this back-and-forth of speculation and fallacies.

Let's start off on a better foot and provide the sources that state this, shall we?

I believe it was a documentary on PBS.

Not what scientists say happened. Read a science text book sometime.

No idea where you got this from.


I am going to assume that not was misplaced. What about simple curiosity? The joy of scientific discovery?



Wha? The usual christian teaching is that he is the "uncaused cause".



That is applicable to forces. Every force has an equal and opposite reaction.
You are confusing it with the principle of causality.
Which cannot be used to prove anything.

Prove it.



Prove it. Life needs purpose and potential? Since when?





Yeah. Sorry. This is nonsensical. I can't reply to this, except to say this is not what scientists say happened. Read a science text book sometime.




AFAIK no dinosaurs can breath fire. Nor can large dinos fly.
And NO SCIENTIST CLAIMS WE EVOLVED FROM DINOSAURS!
Your ignorance is astounding.
And dinosaur eggs have been found. HOW can you claim they have no reproductive system?
It boggles the mind that anyone can be that stupid!
