Simulation theory has much better odds than evolution theory.

Would you look at that! Urban birds have evolved just since COVID:

That does not address the issue in the slightest. Pretty much everyone agrees that evolution can occur gradually or in a short time due to a handy saltation. That is not what the argument is about, which is rather, complex systems in the body that are made of things that would be of no use without the other things. These require several changes to come about at the same time for no reason other than chance. That is where the odds multiply astronomically.

Maybe you should look again. The fossil record emphatically does NOT show that. The gaps are bigger than the one in Michael Strahan’s front teeth.

That’s part of Myers very detailed argument. The majority of species groups seem to appear out of nowhere in the fossil record, and only then start to show microevolutionary changes in a very slow and calculable process.


Are you arguing the fossil record does not show life becoming more complex with time?

Its just their best made up guess to fit their convoluted timeline. And a very poor one


Why is it a poor one? Why would evolution occur gradually and steadily over time?

No, actually the opposite. That life evolved more quickly than gene mutation and natural selection can account for, especially during the Cambrian.

I believe everything evolved from platypussies.....uhh, platypusses......platypi?

It is a mishmash creature that has all the required parts to become anything. It is pretty obvious, really.

There is no difference between "macro" and "micro" evolution



Well thats the assertion, yes. But its becoming more and more rejected by scientists.

We're done here, right?

The name certainly checks out

All religions came from the original that was practiced by Adam, Noah, and eventually Abraham. Even the Muslims. But you knew that right?
quote:

The Islamic holy books are the Tawrat (Torah), the Zabur (Psalms), and the Injil (Arabic for the Gospel), received by Jesus. Additionally, the Quran mentions the Scrolls of Abraham and the Scrolls of Moses

Also, science traces most histories to the Fertile Crescent
quote:

The Fertile Crescent is believed to be the first region where settled farming emerged. Also, technological advances in the region include the development of agriculture and the use of irrigation, domestication of animals, languages, of writing, the wheel, and glass.

And its also telling that a book written 10,000 years ago pegged that Noahs Ark came to rest there, and civilization would be borne from there. Weird, aint it

Even paganism is an offshoot of the original religion. Fun fact. The word pagan was invented by Christians in the 1400s

We know that Judaism was first. Out of that came Christianity, then Catholicism, then Islam, then pagans, then Mormons, etc. But what about Hindu?

Hindu was originally a geographical term, not religious. The Muslims applied the term to the religion of the people from there. Wait? The Muslims created them, as a way of distinguishing themselves from Hindus? What a shock

Then theres Buddhism. One of the earliest evidence of this religion is written on the pillars of Ashoka, which oddly enough doesnt contain the Buddha anywhere. Ashoka converted to the religion, wrote the pillars in guess what language? Aramaic. The language that Jesus spoke. Aint that something? 300 hundred years before Jesus was born. The proponents of the new religion of Buddha, were actually ancestors who forked off from the lines of Jesus

Its fascinating if you study it for yourself, and not listen to the bias of religion professors

This is completely false.

One of the biggest problems is the lie that evolution as the origin of our species is "accepted science." This just isn't true.

If evolution required exponentially explosive growth to get where it was at the beginning of documentation, then why are we now in stasis? Why would that explosion of growth have stopped, when the current climate is the best in known history for genetic transformation?

Anything born with a genetic anomaly is certainly not viewed as evolving. They are labeled as deformed. Which is why I firmly believe our planet from day 1 has been in decay, not evolving

I also cant help but notice the very proponents of evolution are also proponents of population control. Down deep they know we are devolving, and want to control access of the masses to the resources available

Still waiting on your hard proof of alien lifeforms other than the party line "mathematically there has to be life out there".

not the evolution of new species.
Here's the problem though. No one believes this. A species is what it is it's entire life. A fish doesn't become a frog. The dog-like pakicetus didn't turn into a whale. There were many species between and it's very difficult to know the full story.

who said it was "required"? what if that is just how it happened?

are we?

it is? has it stopped?

can you provide any data on these claims? I'd like to read some of this

but no one knows which one because every attempt to duplicate this spontaneous formation of the actual building blocks of the polymer in a lab have utterly failed, so the key initial creation step must be accepted on "Faith", which is quite the delicious irony...
