Evolution is a lie

Read the first two pages of the thread.

This is basically what is wrong with religious nuts that go on and on about evolution being a lie. They say any old crap to back up their opinion. Even going as far to say the Earth is only a few thousand years old.

We KNOW for a fact the Earth is a **** load older than that.

I love when the person who begins the thread leaves frustrated and then says something so incredibly idiotic like "Click the link in my sig if you want to know the truth" like their link is the end all and be all of arguments. That if we click that link, we will be blinded by a light and the truth shall set us free.
 
darthsphere came from a monkey.

but seriously if evolution did indeed occur(not saying it did'nt) why did it stop tho?
 
Evolution hasn't stopped. Its a very slow process, taking millions of years and the changes, even over ten generations are very subtle.

We know the earth is billions of years old. I can't remember the exact mathematical mechanics since its been a while, but I do know this. There is an isotope of carbon [the most common element] called C14. This is radioactive, and degrades at a measurable rate, having a half-life of something around a thousand years. Every organic thing contains a certain percentage of this isotope, and by measuring the ammount of it in something [carbon dating] we can determine its age, as the ammount would be in steady decline because of the half-life of the isotope. Carbon dating has proved fossils are millions of years old. Scientists don't just make random guesses.

Whats to say that god didn't stir that primordial soup together and then kick back to see what happened?

That's how I always liked to think of it.
 
I read the first page, and already saw a crapload of mistakes

Earth's been around for hundrends of millions of years.

"The Earth used to be double oxygen"

THE OPPOSITE. The Earth used to be mostly Nitrogen and Co2. Over years and years and years, those levels dropped, and the Oxygen levels lifted to a point life (animals) could begin.

His starting "EVOLOTIN IZ A LIE" is also incorrect. By millions of years, we really mean, millions of years. SKIN COLOUR. Do you think The Lord suddenly went "OMG LOL JEZUZ U NO WOT WULD BE FUNI LUL?" People closer to the equtator have more melion in their skin. I'll dumb it down. The closer to the middle line of the Earth (where the sun's rays hit the most) the darker you're skin is, (melion in your skin absorbs the sun - fair people don't have alot - hence them burning in the sun) so you don't get Sun cancer from extreme exposure. If you want to know why Australian's and American's are white instead of black, just think logically. They've all emigrated from England, when the lands were discovered. England is very Northern, so the human body doesn't bother wasting energy producing it where it doesn't need it. If we're still around in 10,000 years, it's likely the American norm will be black.

Another thing I read him state incorrectly, was actual evolution. One of the most obvious examples is the Giraffe. A couple'of million years ago, modern day Giraffes looked alot like Horses, small necks. However, all of the other animals who ate plants, we're the same size as them and could reach the same leaves, and because Giraffes were quite slow, they struggled for food, and began to die out. Then, by a freak accident, (Mutation/EVOLUTION) one Giraffe just happened to be born with a slightly longer neck. He could reach the higher branches, and survived on what the other animals couldn't reach. So, all of the regular Giraffes died out, and he lived. Now let's say, by chance, a female was born of the same nature. (It wouldn't just be 2, it'd be a few hundred, but I'm keeping it simple) So they mated, and passed on their genes. Now all Giraffe's have evoled one stage, they all have slightly longer necks. Right? Now, repeatx100, and you get the modern day Giraffe.

If you're going for the "Oh well, that's rather convient that a male and female just happened to evole at the same time" think about modern day "mistakes." Some people can have alternating eye colours, I'm not sure about the PC phrasing, but think about midgets. It's seen today as a "fault" however, in say, a 100 years, when we blow up the universe and have to move underground, being a midget will probably be an advantage, being lower. Normal humans would find it difficult to survive, and would be more prone to die over the midgets, who would contiune on their genes, until eventually, the "normal" human would have evoled to all being midgets.

Get it?
 
You know, if I started a thread entitled "The Bible Is A Lie", it would get shut down faster than a crackhouse in a gated community. But this thread goes on in all it's idiotic glory. :huh:

Jag, we like to call this a double standard. Just like celldog can start a muslim bashing thread disguised with "articles" but any of that sort with Christianity or Judaism gets locked down tighter than Paris Hilton's mouth on a .......you know where im going with this.

Virus' do not 'evolve.' They adapt, just like a salt water alligator to a fresh water alligator. When it is exposed to a new environment, by it's very design it adapts to become more suited to it's environment. This is not an introduction of new information, but merely it's very design.

Evolution is adaption, genius. That's what natural selection was about in the first place, creatures evolved to adapt to their new enviroments during the changes that occured in the Earth.

Your arguements are silly. If God is love and God created everything, why would he create virsuses that can adapt to our antibiotics, that's just cruel.

And that picture is loaded with claims of something being blatantly wrong(hence a claim of debunking something)that had nothing to back it up other than sarcastic, asinine comments, and putting lack of belief on the same level of proof of somethings inaccuracy.
I posted the picture because I thought it was funny. You didn't. Big deal.

If evolution is a frequent occurance in nature, then why has nothing evolved in recorded human history? Surely a single animal would evolve a single trait within the last couple of thousand years?
DuuuUUUrhhhHH....moths in England evolved during the industrial revolution, humans were way smaller only a hundred years ago, viruses evolve all the time. Also, major steps in evolution take way more than 2,000 years to be noticeable.
Close this comical thread.

I'd rather give Venom a chance to admit to being an idiot.
Most of the time idiots are too challenged to discern their own idiocy, especially on the internet.
You should probably grab a chair and order a drink while you wait. :csad:
 
As a Christian myself, the process of evolution is something I believe in as a natural order of things. It makes sense to me, and dont see why its villified by religious people.

WTF?! LMAO.....I'm glad i live in modern times....where people know better than in the dark ages.
well, not really.

I too, share an equal middle ground. I believe in the big bang, and I believe in Evolution. I'm Christian too. The way DA MIGHTY LORD fits into my arrangment, is that the chance of the Big Bang happening is 10,000000(etc etc) to 1. But it did. Sounds like divine intervention to me. :word:

Oh and Wilhelm, youdda man. :ninja:
 
God is a programmer and life is just one big sick computer program, or video game.
