Uniquename111 52 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I did... But what does this prove? nothing.... What does this prove? Nothing much... all it shows that even if there ever were to be a consensus on this forum whether or not Evolution is true (which in my opinion will never happen. It would be like an argument on the Multiverse theory, though, Evolution has WAY more proof), there will always be stubborn fundamentalists and radicals at both ends, like in any issue EVER. Plus, as said, I don't believe we'll ever come to a consensus, since everyone posting on this topic has an agenda, even those who say to not be bias and are just mediators, creationists want to believe their religion knows all, supporters of Evolution want to see it become a law... I seriously think, at this point, the topic should be locked, since all this will be is a continuos flame war against others' beliefs. Edit- as it is my personal opinion that creationists are stubborn and foolish, while the creationists probably believe supporters of Evolution, like myself (Atheist or not, I'm not Atheist though...), that WE'RE idiots. No party is willing to bend, no matter how much proof is shoved into creationists' faces, they'll never admit Evolution to be a law, and no matter how many (stupid) rebuttals creationists give, supporters of Evolution will continue to believe it to be law.

The Best Basileus 97 Share Posted May 16, 2013 The reason we're discussing slavery and the Holocaust is that no evolutionist can logically say that they were wrong. Evolution has no morality. I'm not saying all evolutionists don't follow the rules. I'm not saying all they want to do is kill. All I'm saying is that based on the evolutionist's philosophy, slavery, murder, or any other type of crime cannot logically be called "wrong."

The Best Basileus 97 Share Posted May 16, 2013 How is creationism scientific? A Creative Force for the universe must exist due to the following points: The universe cannot be infinite, that much creationists and evolutionists alike agree on. The evolutionist, however, cannot explain where his "infinitely dense point" came from. This point WAS the universe. It follows the same laws. I can't have been eternal. Even if that was true, something had to put it here. This necessitates a God. Lago, stop calling me racist. I'd like an fm to support me on this one, if they could. Please refrain from needless insults and flaming. Anyway, the fact that you need to shows that you don't know how else to respond to a God being logically and scientifically necessary and Evolution being logically and scientifically impossible.

Believing in bacon does not mean we have no morality, bacon is just food, and has nothing to do with morality.I believe in evolution, does that mean I have no morals? NO, so please STOP talking about morals when you talk about evolution. Morals are of a person, evolution has NOTHING to do with a person. There is NO evolution philosophy, there is no right and wrong in a scientific theory, it just says what happens. What you are saying is NOT true, you are assuming many things when you don't even understand what evolution is.Again NO more talk about morals when discussing evolution as it has NOTHING to do with them.Personally, I hope we weren't created by evolution, which isn't meant as an insult to those of you who do believe that evolution created us. It just scares me a bit that if I die that there's just nothing. Evolution has nothing to do with creation, only evolution of species. On the other hand, evolution also does not talk about what happens when you die. You may believe in the after life and in heaven and hell, and in god, and still take evolution as something that happens. How is creationism scientific? A Creative Force for the universe must exist due to the following points: The universe cannot be infinite, that much creationists and evolutionists alike agree on. The evolutionist, however, cannot explain where his "infinitely dense point" came from. Actually... This has nothing to do with evolution, it has to do with the big bang theory. Evolution has nothing to do with the big bang. This point WAS the universe. It follows the same laws. I can't have been eternal. Even if that was true, something had to put it here. "Something had put it there" implies someone placed it there, try something more like "Somehow it had to be there"This necessitates a God.

There has been no proof put forward by any evolutionist on this thread in the time I have been active on it. I have placed proofs on this thread a few number of times, people have went there and said "This is wrong because" and I had to teach them basic physics. You do not even know what the second law of termaldynamics really means, and you do not wish to learn it, or refuse to be taught by me. While you don't learn what the law trully says and what it implies, you will forever think you are right, while you are infact, misinformed. All you have shown me in regards to 'proof' of creationism, is talking about how evolution has no morals, and that god is required for morals, and then speak of things before the theory of evolution could be placed, and talk about evolution there, as if evolution has anything to do with the big bang, the formation of a planet, politics, morals, etc etc etc. The only proofs have been put forth by myself, and they have withstood the review of my peers. I implore a proponent of evolution to directly reply to this post with a proof of evolution based on facts and logic. All of us here have written papers, so I would like for it to be in the form of a persuasive paper, please. If you continue to nitpick at everything said by the creationist side rather than give your own arguments, then I think it should be plain for all to see which side has unquestionably carried the debate.I will do so, but I have no idea what you mean by paper.So lets begin, proofs of evolution:Fossil records - The huge amount of fossils there are which represent how the species changed with time.DNA testing - DNA similarities between the speciesObservable evolution - In microscopical beings, in bugs, in plants, in animals.Observable mutations - Even seen in humans.Similarities of growing of fetus - Fetus of animals that are close related are more alike then those that are not close related.And then there are a few more. Please ask me what you wish to know about those proofs. I already told you why the second law of termaldynamics does not effect the theory of evolution, but I'll say it again. For life to even exist, exchanges of energy have to happen. The rise of entropy means those changes of energy will stop happening. The second law states that entropy in closed systems can only rise. This would be bad for life if the earth was a closed system. Earth is not a closed system, so the second law of thermaldynamics does not stop life, nor stops evolution.

Evolution is saying that humans and modern species evolved from others through mutations and adaptations and if you go far enough back you get to microbes and stuff. It conflicts with the idea that God zapped each creature onto the earth but it doesn't conflict with the Christian God creating the universe(if you think of the days as non-literal and such).

hammer01 29 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Im just going to copy-past this page: Firstly, let's consider some of the broader questions the theory of evolution needs to try and answer ... If a theory says that humans have come into existence by evolutionary processes, the theory must also attempt to explain how the following came into being. 1. The sun and the earth (without a planet and a star there can be no first cell.) 2. The first self-replicating (living) cell (without the first cell there can be no other life.) 3. The formation of all other living things In the evolutionist framework, the sun, the earth and the first cell all came about by random, mindless, blind and unguided processes. Living things are able to adapt to changing environments through the process of natural selection. Even so natural selection has no targets or plan in mind. It is a mindless and blind process acting on mutations which are also random, mindless and blind. Read our answer to the question: "Does evolution of life in reality have anything more than just ‘sheer higgledy-piggledy luck’?" EVIDENCE 1: The universe could NOT have created itself nor has it always existed a. The universe could NOT have created itself In his latest book, misleadingly entitled The Grand Design, Steven Hawking makes the adventurous claim that “because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Think about that. Dr. John Lennox (Professor in Mathematics at Oxford University acknowledges that Hawking is a brilliant theoretical physicist but responds to Hawking’s assertion that “the universe can and will create itself from nothing” with; “That sounds to me like something out of Alice in Wonderland ... it’s not science!”11 Lennox explains by saying; "If I say “X creates X,” I presuppose the existence of X in order to account for the existence of X. To presuppose the existence of the universe to account for its existence is logically incoherent."12 Or put simply; “From nothing, nothing comes!” or “No-thing cannot do anything!”13 In relation to Hawking's latest idea Dr. Lennox rightly concludes; "What this all goes to show is that nonsense remains nonsense, even when talked by world-famous scientists".14 The universe cannot have created itself! Ravi Zacharias and John Lennox discuss Stephen’s Hawking’s ideas in his latest book entitled The Grand Design (4 part audio) b. The universe could NOT have always existed The idea that the universe has always been in existence has been thoroughly rejected on scientific grounds. The Laws of Thermodynamics show the universe must have had a beginning. The First Law of Thermodynamics says that there is only a finite amount of energy and the Second Law says that the amount of available energy is continually decreasing. If the universe had existed forever, all the available existing energy would have already been used up. THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION The only logical / scientific explanation for the existence of the universe is that it was created by an outside intelligence. EVIDENCE 2: The Second Law of Thermodynamics says no! The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that a system will always go from order to disorder unless there is a plan or outside intelligence to organize it. World-renowned evolutionist Isaac Asimov when discussing the Second Law of Thermodynamics said: "Another way of stating the second law then is: 'The universe is constantly getting more disorderly!'" Viewed that way we can see the second law all about us. We have to work hard to straighten a room, but left to itself it becomes a mess again very quickly and very easily. Even if we never enter it, it becomes dusty and musty. How difficult to maintain houses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order: how easy to let them deteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself - and that is what the second law is all about."1 As Isaac Asimov says, everything becomes 'a mess ... deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself'. Now in complete opposition to one of most firmly established laws in science (the Second Law of Thermodynamics), people who support the theory of Evolution would have us believe that things become more organised and complex when left to themselves! Some people argue that the earth is an open system and therefore the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not apply. Simply pouring in energy (sunlight) into the earth does not override the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As shown in Isaac Asimov's quote above, the Second Law still applies on earth. Pouring energy into a system makes things more disordered! The brilliant scientist Lord Kelvin who actually formulated the Second Law of Thermodynamics says for very good scientific reasons; "Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us ... the atheistic idea is so non-sensical that I cannot put it into words." 9 As Dr John Ross of Harvard University rightly states:"… there are no known violations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Ordinarily the second law is stated for isolated systems, but the second law applies equally well to open systems. …"7 Evolution has no plan or outside intelligence and, according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, can never take place.Second Law of Thermodynamics - Does this basic law of nature prevent Evolution? EVIDENCE 3. Living Things Never Arise from Non-living Things To produce a living thing you must start with a living thing. Evolution requires non-living matter to turn into a living organism and this has never been observed. A Biology textbook puts it like this: "As we have seen, the life of every organism comes from its parents or parent. Does life ever spring from nonliving matter? We can find no evidence of this happening. So far as we can tell, life comes only from life. Biologists call this the principal of biogenesis." 8 So when it comes to real science (i.e. things we can actually establish by observation and experiment) life always comes from life! Evolutionists insist life came from nonliving matter but they have no way of proving this. Just saying something repeatedly doesn't make it true! Why Is Abiogenesis Impossible? EVIDENCE 4: Complex Systems do not evolve 'bit by bit' In the following quote, Darwin himself acknowledges the logical absurdity of a complex organ like the eye being formed using the natural processes he was suggesting in his theory. Darwin’s own deductive reasoning should have caused him to reject his own theory but sadly it did not and Darwin continued to promote his theory of trying to explain the complexity of life using natural processes only. We are NOT saying that the following quote was Darwin’s conclusion but that it should have been Darwin’s conclusion. Darwin said: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." 3 No mechanism has been put forward that even begins to explain how something like the human eye could have been produced by time, chance, natural selection and mutation. A baby needs a number of very complex, interdependent systems to live and survive. These systems include the nervous, digestive, excretory, circulatory, skeletal, muscular and an immune system. For the baby to survive and live each system requires all the other systems to be functioning. Therefore all these systems must be in operation at the same time and could not have evolved slowly over millions of years. Think of the amazing intricacy of the male reproductive system coming about by time, chance and random mutation. It would need to be fully functional all along the evolutionary timeline so that reproduction could continue. And remember this highly unlikely progression would be pointless unless the female reproductive system had randomly evolved in perfect sync to compliment the developing male system so they both worked in harmony over the millions of years of evolutionary refinement! Of course, this logic applies to all the other species on earth as well. There is no evidence anywhere of the evolution of such systems. More than that, not even any hypothetical process can be thought of to explain how something like the brain and the digestive system could have evolved bit by bit over time!Can evolution be the source of life in all its complexity? EVIDENCE 5: The Missing Links are Still Missing If evolution was true, there should be large numbers of intermediate fossil organisms present in the fossil record. Despite over a hundred years of intensive world wide research into the fossil record, the 'missing links' are still well and truly 'missing'. Evolutionists such as Stephen Jay Gould reluctantly concede this when they say, "The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not based on the evidence of fossils." 2 What does the fossil record teach us about evolution?Who's who & what's what in the world of "missing" links? Is there fossil evidence of 'missing links' between humans and apes? Did ancient humans live millions of years ago? EVIDENCE 6: Mutations are contrary to Evolution Natural selection (better adapted organisms surviving to pass on genetic material) cannot produce evolution because it produces no NEW genetic material. Mutations are random changes in the genetic makeup of organisms. Evolutionists say that mutations supply the new genes needed for evolution to proceed. For over 1500 generations, fruit flies have been subjected to radiation and chemicals.4 This caused mutations in the flies. If you take a human generation to be 25 years, this is equal to around 37 500 years (1500 x 25) in human terms. What happened to these mutated flies over this time? Firstly, they were still flies and had not evolved into anything else! Secondly the flies as a population were worse off with many dying, having curly wings or stubby wings. Mutations are an example of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (when things are left to themselves they become more disordered over time). It is amazing that evolutionists would put forward mutations as the mechanism by which evolution could somehow take place! A person with one sickle-cell anaemia gene (a mutation) and malaria has more chance of surviving malaria than a person without the mutated gene. Evolutionists point to this as evolution in action. Read more on malaria / sickle-cell anaemia Evolution (things becoming more ordered) and mutations (things becoming more disordered) are processes going in opposite directions! Mutations are not a friend of evolution but an enemy that ultimately cuts the theory down and destroys it!Can genetic mutations produce positive changes in living creatures? EVIDENCE 7: Probability Facts are also contrary to Evolution Evolutionists such as Sir Fred Hoyle concede this when they say "The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way (time and chance) is comparable with the chance that 'a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.'"5 In a desperate attempt to override the very powerful argument that life could never arise by chance, Richard Dawkins conjectures that “If the odds of life originating spontaneously on a planet were a billion to one against …”10 A billion to one is only 1 in 10 to the 9th power. BUT the probability of even one single protein molecule consisting of 200 amino acids arising spontaneously by chance is 1 in 10 raised to power of 260. This is calculated by raising 20 (the number of different types amino acids available) to the power of 200 (the number of amino acids in the protein chain). Even if the whole universe was packed with amino acids combining frantically for billions of years, it would not produce even one such protein molecule let alone produce a living cell. Read our answer to the question: "Does evolution of life in reality have anything more than just ‘sheer higgledy-piggledy luck’?" Let's now put this in its larger context. Proteins are 'made' by genes in the cell. * The average human gene consists of 3000 bases, but sizes vary greatly, with the largest known human gene being dystrophin at 2.4 million bases. * The total number of human genes is estimated at 30,000. * The human genome has some 3 billion DNA base pairs. Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome! * The constellation of all proteins in a cell is called its proteome. Unlike the relatively unchanging genome, the dynamic proteome changes from minute to minute in response to tens of thousands of intra- and extracellular environmental signals. A protein’s chemistry and behavior are specified by the gene sequence and by the number and identities of other proteins made in the same cell at the same time and with which it associates and reacts. * Finally, It is estimated that the human body may contain over two million different proteins, each with a unique function. There is no chance that the human body could have come about by chance! Probability Arguments in Why Is Abiogenesis Impossible? Great scientists from the past and present talk on Evolution and God How Antony Flew (an outspoken atheist for 60 years) came to believe there is a God Four Things That Two Ex Sceptics Got Wrong THE LINK BETWEEN MODERN SCIENCE AND BELIEF IN A CREATOR C.S. Lewis who was a novelist, poet and academic showed the very strong connection between the development of modern scientific thought and the belief the scientists held in a Creator (Lawgiver) when he said;. “Men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected law in nature because they believed in a lawgiver.”14 GREAT SCIENTISTS FROM THE PAST "Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us ... the atheistic idea is so non-sensical that I cannot put it into words." (Lord Kelvin) "I am a Christian ... I believe only and alone ... in the service of Jesus Christ ... In Him is all refuge, all solace." (Johannes Kepler) "The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God." (Louis Pasteur). Pasteur strongly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution because he felt it did not conform to the scientific evidence.Robert Boyle believed in Jesus Christ's "Passion, His death, His resurrection and ascension, and all of those wonderful works which He did during His stay upon earth, in order to confirm the belief of His being God as well as man." "Order is manifestly maintained in the universe … the whole being governed by the sovereign will of God." (James Prescott Joule) "There are those who argue that the universe evolved out a random process, but what random process could produce the brain of man or the system of the human eye?" (Werhner Von Braun) "Almighty Creator and Preserver of all things, praised be all Thou has created." (Carl Linnaeus) "I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity." (Sir Joseph Lister) "Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." "The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful being." (Sir Isaac Newton) Michael Faraday was careful to "Thank God, first, for all His gifts." Taken from the book 21 Great Scientists Who Believed the Bible by Ann Lamont published by Answers in Genesis, P.O. Box 6302, Acacia Ridge D.C., Queensland, 4110, Australia, 1995. PRESENT DAY PhD SCIENTISTS "The evidence points to an intelligent designer of the vast array of life, both living and extinct, rather than to unguided mindless evolution." (Nancy M Darrall, Speech Therapist at the Bolton Community Health Care Trust in the UK. She holds a PhD in Botany from the University of Wales.) "Evolutionary theories of the universe cannot counteract the above arguments for the existence of God." (John M Cimbala, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Pennsylvania State University. John holds a PhD in Aeronautics.) "The correspondence between the global catastrophe in the geological record and the Flood described in Genesis is much too obvious for me to conclude that these events must be one and the same." (John R Baumgardner, Technical Staff Member in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. John holds a PhD in Geophysics and Space Physics from UCLU.) "We have already seen that no such system could possibly appear by chance. Life in its totality must have been created in the beginning, just as God told us." (John P Marcus, Research Officer at the Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Plant Pathology, University of Queensland, Australia. John holds a PhD in Biological Chemistry from the University of Michigan.) "The fossil record is considered to be the primary evidence for evolution, yet it does not demonstrate a complete chain of life from simple forms to complex." (Larry Vardiman, Professor from the Department of Astro-Geophysics for Creation Research, USA. Larry holds a PhD in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University.) "I … have no hesitation in rejecting the evolutionary hypothesis of origins and affirming the biblical alternative that 'in six days the Lord God created the heavens and earth and all that in them is'. (Dr Taylor is senior lecturer in Electrical Engineering at the University of Liverpool. Dr Taylor has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and has authored over 80 scientific articles.) "I believe God provides evidence of His creative power for all to experience personally in our lives. To know the Creator does not require an advanced degree in science or theology." (Timothy G Standish is an Associate Professor of Biology at Andrews University in the USA. Dr Standish holds a PhD in Biology and Public Policy from George Mason University, USA.) "At the same time I found I could reject evolution and not commit intellectual suicide, I began to realise I could also accept a literal creation and still not commit intellectual suicide." (AJ Monty White, Student Advisor, Dean of Students Office, at the University of Cardiff, UK. Dr White holds a PhD in the field of Gas Kinetics.) "So life did not arise by natural processes, nor could the grand diversity of life have arisen through no-intelligent natural processes (evolution). Living things were created by God, as the Bible says." (Don Batten, a research scientist for Answer in Genesis in Australia. Dr Batten holds a PhD in Plant Physiology from the University of Sydney and worked for 18 years as a research scientist with the New South Wales Department of Agriculture.) "In the words of the well-known scientist, Robert Jastrow, 'for the scientist who has lived by faith in the power of reason, the story [of the quest for the answers about the origin of life and the universe] ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." (Jerry R Bergman, Instructor of Science at Northwest State College, Archbold, Ohio. He holds a PhD in Evaluation and Research from Wayne State University and a PhD in Human Biology from Columbia Pacific University.)
