Upstart said:Here are some reasons why evolution is not scientific.
1. The support of evolution lies in fossils, but according to evolution, they cannot form. Evolutionists claim that a level of rock strata took millions of years to form, but if that was true, the bodies of the creatures fossilized would have long decayed before they could be covered.
2. No transitionary forms have been found. This is especially disrupting of evolution when you realize that for every species you see now, there should be many more species that were the transitionary forms. None have be found.
Upstart said:In my study of evolution, both the gradual developement theory and the punctuated equilibrium theory, I have come to the conclusion that evolution is directly opposed to science. While Creationism is oft sneered at as the organization of closed-minds, to believe in Evolution, you must first leap into the darkness of speculation and close your mind to prevent the light of reasoning to enter in.

No, those who believe in creationism/ID just dismiss them out-of-hand

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html explains transitional fossils, and gives dozens, if not hundreds, of examples.
As I said, those who believe creationism/ID just say that they don't count, that they aren't really transitional fossils.
nkgupta80 said:#1 which is why it is so rare. Fossils form only when decaying bodies are immersed in sediment or petrified early on. Eventually the bones (being porous) start taking in mineral deposits which act like a kind of preservative. BAsically rock replaces the organice material, and what you get is a rock version of the organism's skeleton.They are very abundant. Any child can find them if he knows where to look.
Then what do you do with the book of Genesis?i believe in tranquility said:I beilve that earth was created, but i definetly dont dismiss evolution.
Genesis says God created not only the earth but also the plants and animals.i believe in tranquility said:what do you mean what do I do...?
But you said you believe in evolution.i believe in tranquility said:yea........i agree and believe that.
God created the plants on the third day, but did not create the sun until the fourth day. How could plants survive without the sun for billions of year?i believe in tranquility said:yea.......what does that have to do with anything?
i beilve that God created the earth in 6 GOD days, not 6 human days (a god day could be billions for all we know).

Also, God created Adam on the sixth day, and rested on the seventh day. He did not create Eve until after the last day. Adam only lived to be almost a thousand years. He would have died waiting for God to create Eve!
Another thing is this: evolution teaches that lizards (or reptiles) evolved into birds, but the Bible teaches that God created birds before reptiles.
FluffyNinja said:Another literal interpretation problem that I have noticed with Genesis is that there is no point of reference for the first three days! Our understanding of a "day" is one full rotation of the Earth on its axis. Early civilizations measured this phenomenon by using sun angle. If there was NO SUNfor three days, how could days have been measured?

Okay, sure. Next time I'm talking to Him, I'll tell Him that some pea-brain thinks His Word isn't good enough and that He should come out with a new version for the style of today.nkgupta80 said:yeah i think God should come out with a new bible.. that gets rid of all the controversy... seriosuly.

Well, the creationists ARE trying to remake the Bible to fit their political agenda, so you are probably right as far as they go.Upstart said:Okay, sure.
