Re: If evolution is real...

What's my point?

My point is evolution is still happening. Evolution of a species frequently works at a very slow pace and is usually only seen through evidence in the fossil record. 20,000 years for species isn't even a heart beat when we are talking about evolution.

But how can anyone beleive that? It's a just so story made up by people who hate Jesus.

If evolution is really happening you will be able to point to it taking place today. I've never seen a fish morph into a frog

Really? Can't you see where someone is using sarcasm when talking about waiting there for millions of years?

Re: If evolution is real...

Evolution is indeed still happening. Evolution of a species frequently works at a very slow pace and is usually only seen through evidence in the fossil record. 20,000 years for species isn't even a heart beat when we are talking about evolution.

Maybe if you sat in the same place for millions of years you would see the truth. The society you are born into is very different to the society you die in.

What? If you sat in one place for a million years you would be dead. Very convenient for a theory in crisis to stipulate that you have to be a million years old, don't you think?

No wonder more and more people are rejecting ToE in our country every day.

That's silly, dear! Just because someone can conceive of a thing doesn't mean it's actually true.

Re: If evolution is real...

Then why are there no sharks in my goldfish bowel. I have been breeding goldfish for a few days now and absolutely nothing has evolved! Surely if that atheist theory mumbo jumbo was correct, instead of just being really confusing, something will have evolved by now!

Roight?

Amen. I have it on good authority that he died screaming for Jesus.

To make an argument on the person himself has nothing to do with the idea that person had in his life.

Newton was religious, does that mean that gravitation is lie? In any way, it doens't, It doesn't matter if darwin was screaming for jesus, he was dying, who wouldn't be scared?

You should concentrate about the idea, not the man.

By the way, 'good authority'? Source please?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

Long story short:
Russians started a project in 1959 to domesticate wild silver foxes. Only the most tame foxes would be allowed to breed (note what Darwin said about this; the survival of the fittest). They did the same thing to the next few generations, only the tamest foxes would be allowed to breed.

Eventually they became as tame as cats and dogs, and just as friendly to humans.

One special thing about this is that with the whole taming process, other mutations came along, such as white fur, curly tails, shorter legs and sloppy ears.

This is evolution happening before your eyes. And yes, there is video footage of the whole thing: http://www.sibfox.com/media/

To sum it up: Evolution is true, whether you like it or not.

I am not sure how many times I have said this, or how many more I will have to . . .

What you described here is "microevolution", or evolution within a species. Nobody here denies that.

What we deny is "macroevolution", or one species mutating to become another species.

This has never been clearly demonstrated in fossil record or anywhere else. Instead, the archaeologists and paleontologists talk of "punctuated equilibrium", or as Christians call it, "punctuated smiting".

Sharks came before the goldfish and are much better at gathering energy by being skilled predators.

There is no reason for a shark to turn into a goldfish or a goldfish into a shark

Pal, you need to watch this handy instructional video I made on the subject.

They were still foxes though, weren't they.

My brother and my cousin both own coydogs. Great rodent killers to have around the homestead, much tamer than a wolf-dog. Doesn't mean that it's a new species.

Re: If evolution is real...

Just like any book you read. Do you believe every book you read had actually happened?

Well no, only the Bible is the Word of God.
Don't worry, I'm sure that soon you shall understand and find the way.
Have you even read Genesis 1:1?
Maybe do that, then we'll talk!!!

Re: If evolution is real...

The bible is not the best selling book of all time? You know harry potter sells more than the bible. Harry Potter>Jesus!

The Bible is the best selling best selling book of all time.

"No one really knows how many copies of the Bible have been printed, sold, or distributed. The Bible Society’s attempt to calculate the number printed between 1816 and 1975 produced the figure of 2,458,000,000. A more recent survey, for the years up to 1992, put it closer to 6,000,000,000 in more than 2,000 languages and dialects. Whatever the precise figure, the Bible is by far the bestselling book of all time."

All-Time Bestselling Books and Authors

Harry Potter is not even mentioned.
