So you keep bugging the **** out of everyone thinking your saving us from ourselves because your to stupid to see we're ****ing with you because you wont shut the **** up. And the wheel goes round and round and I keep thinking you must be a troll because nobody is that stupid and what idiot would pick RRS as a platform to push the **** your trying to make us swallow. Shove off clown or get back on topic! B.H. |

If you want to believe everything evolved or "just happened" by pure, random chance, then that same logic would have you believe that a tornado could pass through a junk-yard and spit out a functioning Boeing 747, just by pure, random chance. That, of course, is a -thorough- mischaracterization of biological evolution. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/abioprob.html http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/chance/chance.html It is an over-generalization, but the root-point is the same. The fossil record provides evidence of many different forms of life -- but there have been no transitional forms found, save for a scant few lizards that appeared to have feather-like features that have been presumed to be the onset of birds. Well, that's still a presumption, or a leap in logic or faith that is loosely based on fact, but not completely supported by the historical record. Perhaps one day it may be, but not yet. There are quite a few more transitionals than you realize. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html Which still requires "leaps in logic/faith" to span the gaps. It is sprinkled with phrases similar to "we don't know", "remains unknown", etc. Another creationist fallacy. Anytime a fossil is found that neatly fits between two others, creationists point out that the new discovery merely creates two more gaps. If we have #1 and #3 and then add #2, the question immediately arises "Where is 1.5?" It's never ending, no amount of transitionals will satisfy, and a perfect line of of descent with mother/daughter type relationships isn't going to be found. The therapsid to mammal chain is particularly fine-grained, though. It's worth investigating, for so-inclined. Oh boy -- The unsettling problem with gaps is from your own cited URL! g I see you missed the point. I also see that neither of us is going to convince the other. That's okay. The creationists and their like-minded cronies can continue praying with no discernable result, while science will continue to advance...doing things, like oh, curing and preventing disease for example. The fact of the matter is that science works and produces results that improves the quality of our lives...and evolutionary biology, being an increasingly more imoprtant part of modern medicine, is included in that statement. If I'm sick, I'd rather see a doctor than a priest. But the evolutionist is "convinced" in his belief nonetheless. Because of that, I see little difference between the two camps. I humbly suggest you look much harder. Yes, I have; and keep finding the same evolutionary progression similar to the following: Here we see the fossil "WhattaMattaRex" (a lizard) from the yaddacene era. A gazillion years later, we see the presumed Nth evolution in the fossil "ItsaMattaRex" from the later Discocene era. While we don't know exactly when Creature-A morphed into Creature-B, it is a foregone scientific conclusion that somewhere in the gazillion years between the Yaddacene and Discocene, a miracle occurred that we can't fully explain. So to keep it neat, we simply discard the gap as insignificant and declare the Nth evolutionary form as directly descended, based on a single tooth fragment that we found in a mud layer on another continent. And again, more gross mischaracteriziation, albeit unintentional on your part. As a layman, that's what I hear them struggling to explain. So it's not a question of small gaps. It's a question of presumptions that necessarily have to be made from time to time. The fossil record may yet yield a clearer picture. Someday. Maybe. Who knows... It already has, and you haven't looked very diligently. I'd recommend, for anyone so inclined, to study up on the "twin nested hierarchies" and the mapping of the human genome. http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/postmonth/apr00.html |

You may only deduce from factual information. However, you can presume based on a perception, skewed or otherwise.
