Not to mention the vast majority of them have no connection to biological science. A lot of PHDs in unrelated fields in a lot of those stupid statements, but they always hook the retards with "Over 1000 PHDs!"

That in no sense whatsoever means evolutionary theory has "serious flaws," it means the theory needs to be expanded which is the case for almost every scientific theory.

A point I've raised here once already should give you a hard reset.
Cats (Felidae) -- Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Pumas Jaguars, Bobcats, Servals, House Cats -- are clearly similar. Yet they are clearly dissimilar. They obviously diverged variently from a common ancestor.
Yes?
Some species of cat can still interbreed, albeit with oft sterile or naturally disadvantaged offspring. Other cat species are evolved just beyond that point. Hell! Some members of Family:Felidae can even breed transgenus! Most cannot.
Are separate genuses of felidae actually "the same" animal, albeit "with a different beak"?
Is cat divergence simply evidence of microevolution?
Fantastic examples of speciation and more. Not sure why anyone would need a better example.

Any time we have these I always ask creationist weirdos to explain:
Endogenous Retroviruses
and
Fused chromosome.
There's never an answer because they usually can't copy and paste something from AnswersInGenesis.

I don't know if the theory has serious flaws, but there are certain aspects of the theory which are unexplained. The so-called "Cambrian Explosion" remains a mystery, whereby all known phyla of animals, both the ancestors of modern forms, and those now extinct, arose within a period of just a few million years!
However, even though we don't have all the answers, doesn't mean we should reject the theory outright.

Ever seen a "liger"? It's real, and is an awesome animal-sort of a supercat, twice as big as a Bengal tiger, social in nature like a lion, and likes to swim!

**Haven't read the whole thread, so this may have been covered or way off topic by now**
How does this explain simple evolution that we've actually witnessed in our relatively short observance, like the flu virus? What about the "superbugs" we've created by over-prescribing antibiotics over a short time span?
We've literally seen and studied viruses and bacterium evolving in real time while they develop resistances to the immunizations we administer, how is that explained if evolution and/or survival of the fittest doesn't exist?

Obviously god is controlling that, and he wants us to die.

quote:Only a small percentage of living organisms become fossilized, which require a number of conditions for it to happen. And of that small percentage, we’ve only likely only found a small percentage of those. In fact, it’s estimates that we’ve only found about 15% of the LIVING SPECIES.
No it wouldn't... we have fossils. The macro changes should be seen more broadly in the fossil record based on how many different random variations would have to occur.
So to expect fossil records across a history (depending on what one is loooking) that spans of hundreds of thousands, millions, and even billions of years, to provide anything close to a complete picture of something very specific (e.g., species to species) is just illogical, especially given the limitations to find fossils that have actually been preserved.
Evolution is such a massive interdisciplinary area of research, maybe the largest in history. And some of the most important and strongest research has little or even nothing to do with fossil records. Yet, those who criticize the theory always seem to ignore all the other research and focus solely on the fossil record. It’s ignorant at best for those who don’t know any better, but I think those that do know better use it dishonestly to deceive those who don’t and are not discussing the theory in good faith.

Interestingly the head professor of that class was a minister in her church. Obviously that is irrelevant to the theory, but she wanted students to know this since so many argue that evolution is incompatible with the Christian belief system.
