so you feel that all of the graphs and charts we have compiled illustrating the evolutionary progress of many of today's species dating back millions of years are complete nonsense? they may be incomplete but they are grounded in facts that are even now tested and examined in the interest of professional and scientific accuracy.


Lets not be so broad with our replies. how about you show me one chart of one organism, and let me decide if it is good or bad evidence for macro-evolution.


I have a better proposition. How about I show you one chart illustrating the evolutionary trail of one organism, and we let the general members of ATS decide whether it constitutes valid evidence or not. I'm not leaving it up to your judgment, and I'm not leaving it up to mine either. Let the forum tell us what it thinks.

Actually, I'm going to post more than one. As you can see, the focus is humans and their ancestry:









They aren't as detailed as I would like, but they certainly do for a start. Now, let's leave it up to the denizens of ATS to determine the merit of these charts. If need be, they can fact check it.

Quoting obscure websites that exist independently from scientific investigative methods and rely heavily on extrapolation and confirmation bias is not a constructive approach to meaningful debate. Then again, you're not here to debate...

Obviously neither are you.

Quoting mainstream Science fundamentalism is ALSO not a constructive approach to meaningful debate.

You are sounding just as naive as the the State Farm girl:

(Substitute Science for "The Internet")


Where did you hear that?
The Internet.
And you believed it?
Yeah. They can't put anything on the Internet that isn't true.
Where did you hear that?

You don't need to take anything at face value in science. You are more than welcome to independently validate any claim you choose and publish your results in an academic journal of you manage to refute any of them. That you are too lazy and ignorant to do so is not the fault of science, it is the fault of you.

The irony is strong with this one. Btw, stop talking to me. I have no interest in your asinine opinions, given where you take them from (geddit?).

Once again when faced with evidence or facts they can't refute, they attack the person in order to discredit and mislead.

From my viewpoint it really makes it REAL hard to take a person seriously when they say things like this.

Skyfloating touched on this and he is dead on the money IMHO:

@OP: Its a nice OP, thanks. I create a plane, then there is a plane. It follows that things initially come into existence through creation. Makes perfect sense.

But you want to know what actually convinced me of the ID crowd? 10 years of seeing the completely spiteful, mocking and ignorant behavior of atheists/evolutionists on online forums, with their childish remarks on "you believe in the toothfairy, nanananana!"

Seeing such a stark contrast in mentality, decency, respect and kindness makes it pretty obvious which if these sides have refined and cultured minds and which are of more simple and coarse intelligence. www.abovetopsecret.com...

Sounds like there are some people who do not like the scientific method some even seem to refuse learning what it is. They don't offer a better method they just complain. Even if they did come up with a better method they would need to use the scientific method to prove it.

Instead they just say god dun it.

Computers and combustion engines must seem like magic to them. Laser pointers must drive them nutz.

It's also hard to take someone seriously when they are only interested in what they themselves think. Unless, of course, someone else thinks the same thing they do. In which case, they are very interested in hearing what they think from someone else's mouth.


Also, the irony continues in that you were responding to a post I posted in response to your attacking me instead of my argument. Shall I demonstrate? Of course.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

^^^ so what were you saying about attacking the person rather than refuting evidence and facts? I can't hear you over your hypocrisy.

Now let's get off the subject of each other and get back to the topic.

Why have you not responded to my post on p.3 of the thread? I referred you to a text that provides exactly what you have asked for. Why don't you read it, instead of continuing to ask a question that has already been answered? The book is freely available in shops and libraries.

I'll tell you why. It's because the last thing on Earth you want is to have your question answered. You are here for one reason and one reason only: to shout down your own doubts. How are you doing with that?

That is obviously the reason the "devote" get upset at science and others who question Christianity . It's because obvious who is streaching things. It's obvious which side doesn't really add up. So they attack anything that makes them doubt...

Not sure how this constitutes as evidence for anything. I mean anyone could make a chart like the one you posted. The majority of the pictures are artist renderings ...no hard evidence in that chart for macro evolution at all

I do not argue against evolution because of my religious views, but simply because I do not believe it happens.


Lol, YEAH RIGHT!

Do you scrutinize every scientific theory so fervently?

Nope. Just the ones I feel aren't fact. So are you saying that because I believe in god I am some how void of the ability to disagree with a theory based on scientific reasons? None of my post have been God did it so evolution can't be true. The fact is even if macroevolution was true it wouldn't mean the Christian god doesn't exist. So there is no religious reason for me to dispute it.

Your post are so enlightening. The ancestors tell was written for money and therefore incredibly bias and untrue.

So let's start with the first questions isthe idea of a creator horse manure or just the bible and its god?

Just the bible - I'm sure there are some snippets of truth in it, but it's a corrupted piece of work, serving only religious politics.

I am certain there is a creator. Too many things around us and us ourselves cannot be accidents. My certainty is not other's certainty of something else, though.

I'm saying as far as I can tell every single thread and post you've made has been religiously motivated. So ask yourself honestly when you first sought the truth about evolution? Did you even have any interest in science before someone told you evolution was a lie?

Name one other scientific theory you've examined in such detail. For fun, let's exclude topics having to do with global warming or vaccines.

Big bang theory. Certain parts of quantum theory. My interest lie in the origins of life. The origins of morality . the origins of the universe. I mean what makes you think its true? Science knows of no known genetic pathway for which evolution to operate within nor does it have any evidence that implies the types of morphological changes said to occur are even possible so why call it fact?

how do you thing neanderthals died off ?

Did they really die off?



Good chance that the pre-human fossils are yeti-bigfoot-sasquatch bones.

Good reason why modern anthrology would deny these claims.
Because that would make humans an invasive species.
But believe it or not, Those arn't my ancestors bones.
