Re: If evolution is real...

We believe in God because we have His Word as tangible and empirical proof. Why do you suppose it is the best selling book of all time?

Evolution is a fraud that only the gullible believe. Usually as an excuse for depravity without consequences.

In Christ

Its well known that Darwin repudiated atheistic evolution on his deathbed.

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

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?

Because it takes at least a week to properly breed two goldfish, and evolution is the result of thousands of tiny mutations over the course of thousands of years.

I'm glad Pastor Zeke and Arisdotle have reminded us of the well-documented fact that Mr. Darwin accepted Christ just before it was too late. Perhaps the Lord revealed to Mr. Darwin that the belatedness of his repentance had already cost him the life of a dear loved one (not that I would pretend know the God's ways). How forgiving is God, who finds room in His heart for such a devilish ape as Darwin, despite knowing full well how much scientific rabble the man's lies would continue to spawn in the coming years?

God ain't gonna put no shark in that goldfish bowl, because if he does, the goldfish are gonna be easy eatin for that shark, and soon you won't have any more goldfish, will you? Evolution (were it real) wouldn't give a peanut about the world's goldfish. An evolutionary world would be Hell on Earth, and we'd all just be swallowing one another up!

And people have been breeding goldfish for thousands of years. So why are there still goldfish? Why haven't they turned into something else?

Re: If evolution is real...

Evolution is a really stupid thing and only really stupid people that are beneath my contempt believe in it. I would pity them but they are just so damned animated and excited about being stupid that I don't have the heart to feel ashamed for them.

It's a fairytale with zero evidence to the contrary and the things you must buy into in order to believe it make the believer instantly less credible as a human than I am. Obviously as a True Christian™ I exist on a higher plane than they do with all their whining about this relic is proof or they claim it's true just because it's in their Darwin book. Everybody knows Darwin was a homosexual.
Well guess what Darwinists? I don't BELIEVE in your stupid book, so get it out of my face and stay the hell off my property.
Your stupidity offends me.

Re: If evolution is real...

2 Reasons why your fish haven't evolved in a couple days.


1) Evolution takes place over millions of years, not over the span of a couple days. Yea, I know alot of you are gonna whine that the Earth is only 6000 years old. If your gonna say that the scientists are wrong, maybe you can just think for a minute that the bible, written by a man, could be wrong on a few things as well.
2) Evolution takes place because changes in the environment make it necessary for the animal to change, or the species will not survive. The first sea animals climbed out of the ocean because the ocean was becoming over-populated and they needed to find new food, so they adapted to crawl on the land to find new food. The reason why your fish haven't evolved is because you feed your fish and take care of them. You provide their needs. If you take away their needs (or at the least make sure that they have only just enough to barely survive) and wait a million years, the fish will adapt themselves to get their needs.

The world would be a better place if you dropped dead. The fact that you did not do this yet clearly proves evolution is a hoax.

Wow, couldn't find any way to argue my point, so you decided to try and insult me? Didn't know that 10 year old jackasses read my post.

Re: If evolution is real...

I see that you do not even understand the theory that you propose to support, and that I will have to explain the basic concepts of evolution to you.

You're an idiot, plain and simple.

According to your statements above, fish decided one day to sprout legs and grow lungs so they could go on land. That is not evolutionary theory.

The basic concept of evolution is that mutations are random. What is "necessary for the animal" is not a factor.

If a mutation results in an advantage for the animal over others, then the mutated animal survives and reproduces. If it results in a disadvantage, the mutated animal does not survive. This is called "natural selection".

You don't understand Creationism, and you don't understand Darwinism. Do you understand anything, or are you just here to pointlessly argue about things you don't understand?

Then why are there no sharks in my goldfish bowel.

Just how big is your goldfish, that you think a shark would fit in its bowels?

Re: If evolution is real...

Actually Pastor, the smallest mature shark on record is smaller than a large goldfish, so technically, it could fit in a large goldfish bowl (or a koi pond anyway).

http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/topics/r_smallest_shark.htm

the smallest known extant shark species appears to be Etmopterus perryi, males of which mature at 16 to 17.5 cm TL and gravid females have been found at 19 to 20 cm TL (Springer & Burgess 1985). One 19-cm TL specimen of E. perryi was found to contain three 6-cm embryos, each bearing external gill filaments. In comparison, the smallest mature male E. hillianus examined by Schofield & Burgess (1997) was 20 cm TL.

Here's a life sized drawing.

But Sister, for this to fit in the goldfish's bowels, the goldfish would still have to be huge!

Reverend, I'm not saying that a goldfish is going to turn into a shark, all taking biology in university taught me is how much garbage is involved in the theory of evolution. Yes the bowl would have to be huge, and remember that the theory states that the goldfish would give birth to a shark, not as our "educated friend" tried to say that a gold fish would one day decide that being a shark would be cool and just will himself into another species.

[villainy]

Re: If evolution is real...

Also, in a goldfish bowl the goldfish have ideal conditions for their species. if natural selection made them any bigger, they would out grow the bowl, so evolution, if it were sped up, would keep them that size.

Ps. Sharks didn't evolve from fish, they evolved from Saurians.

Sister, DodgyDouchebag said he was looking for a shark in the goldfish's bowels, not the bowl.

The bowl would be unlikely enough!
