This article is a HUGE lie all because it claims that evolution proponents argue how life began. Evolution STARTS with the premise that life already exists and makes zero, I repeat, ZERO claims on how life started. I therefore call this whole article invalid.
I could go on and debunk all these other claims (most are dumb arguing like the claim that invalidates statistics by saying that an infinite number of monkeys given an infinite number of typewrites wouldn't be able to produce the Gettysburg Address), but I won't. The fact that the article author couldn't be arsed to even fully understand what Evolution claims and just goes on to decide for himself what it claims just shows how much nonsense this article is. Typical Creationist drivel. Makes a bunch of straw man arguments, claims they are false, then claims victory.
Heck even the claim that the article is using science to disprove evolution is a lie. I saw no reference to any studies or calculations that disprove anything. Just a bunch of claims positioned as "facts" followed by what some idiot thinks is and isn't possible.

I have no idea what "Darwinism" is. I certainly don't believe in it. If what you described there is "Darwinism" then I'm glad I don't believe in it, because that isn't how things work. Please don't tell me my beliefs. I think that the Theory of Evolutionary Synthesis is the best answer for how we got to where we are today, but I don't believe in something called "Darwinism". Whatever that is.

No, I think you are referring to the Theory of Natural Selection. There are parts of that theory that still apply to the modern theory yes, but even that is largely out of date. As for Darwinism? Nope, nothing in there about that. The only people who still care about Darwin when it comes to evolution are evolution deniers.
PS: I refuse to entertain strawmans from the Creationist camp. If you want to argue evolution, get your facts straight.
Since the vector of environmental change through time is effectively random, if organisms under Speciation are tracking those changes then you are not going to generate a directional pattern of evolution leading to the development of higher, more complex or significantly different organisms.

My my... Aren't you just full of your own cleverness.
If you refer to my first post and your quote within it, you will see that it is NOT in fact a strawman argument. Perhaps you need to review the definition of a strawman argument and refine your understanding of how to apply the term corectly.
And please... to try and define a difference between Darwin and Evolution is ludicrous at best. Even if such a separation did in fact exist it would not change the fact that even the mechanism of Speciation is heavily reliant on the organisms reaction to the local environment making my original point still true and relevant.
Understand cupcake?
deadeydick: The method they used does not concern me but what does concern me is the fact that some scientist managed to force millions of so called evolutionary yrs into a few weeks of work.
Now if you can see that is much evidence that other processes out there unknown to you or I could be used to force so called evolutionary process.

Please refer to the fact that there is no such thing as "Darwinism". It is a made up term invented by creationists to discredit evolution with a strawman.

Just because you can't be bothered to understand the theory thoroughly enough to tell the difference between the two concepts doesn't mean that a separation doesn't exist.
Understand cupcake?
I understand that that is complete bull# and not how things work. I understand that you are basing your opinion here not on facts or data, but on rhetoric built from your confirmation bias.
Since the vector of environmental change through time is effectively random, if organisms under Modern Evolutionary Synthesis are tracking those changes then you are not going to generate a directional pattern of evolution leading to the development of higher, more complex or significantly different organisms.

Some force or being compressed Human evolution into a ridiculously small time frame;
It's entirely natural, and there's absolutely no reason to think that every species in existence will continue to evolve forever. That's not how it works.
...not natural compared to all of the species that somehow failed to evolve at all
Humans are the only specie here that DO NOT BELONG at all.
Freakish beings created unaturally to exist in an environment of animal, reptilian predators and infested with 1.5 million different specie of BUGS/insects (some say another 500,000 yet to be discovered).
Does any of this make sense?
