Too bad he isn't alive today. He was a smart man. However, since the advent of the electron microscope and other advancements it has been determined that cells are irreducibly complex. By his own admission and by these facts he would have concluded that his evolutionary theory had been proven false. Darwin wrote that if it could be shown that life was irreducibly complex his theory would be blown out of the water. Science has ceased to be pure. It has been bastardized by political influence and personal agendas. There are plenty of fact that stand in the way of the evolutionary theory and yet the evolutionary theory is still taught as a fact. For some reason, people have a hard time understanding the word theory.
Describe Theory--in the scientific sense please--just to make sure we are on the same page.
Thank you.
AFAIK there has been no such determination that any features of any life form are irreducibley complex. To claim so is the delusional apologetics of creationists.
Nosreme...if you would...rather than arguing the theory of evolution and how and where it all began...instead of leading me through the evolution of man...please just show me where it stopped and tell me why.
Why do you assume human evolution stopped? You do know that marco-evolution happens over such a long period of time that it will never be viewed by a single generation, millenia or multiple millenia...? You know this right? On the other hand, micro-evolution... and thus evolution itself is fact. Your perfect example would be caterpillars evolving into butterflys.
However, the existance of evolution does not rule out the existance of God. I'll say that again... the existance of evolution doesn't rule out the existance of God. There is yet another conversation to be had here, and that's whether or not God is in fact a personal God or not. I have reviewed and studied everything I can for a few years on this subject, and I've read the Bible... a few times. I do not believe in a personal God, but being as that science hasn't... and won't ever be able to find the one single source of everything we know... the belief and idea of a God, be it personal or not, can be as valid of an argument as to where everything came from as another theory... depending on that particular argument.
I don't wish to get into any sort of heated debate, I've done that many times here... I'm not going to change my mind or find my faith on an internet forum and those who believe in a personal God will not cease their belief so, let's agree to disagree. Let's discuss the little things here on Earth like the direction of our country and how we're going to either fix it or deal with its consequences. Where we go after we die is something that we will only know with 100% certainty after we do. It doesn't mean one is wrong to believe we go to Heaven or Hell, or if we go nowhere after death... it's just what one chooses to believe.

No harsh feelings alright fellas.

Not looking for a debate either. You want to review the direction the country is going? Okay...what direction do you want the country to go and why do you want to resist the direction someone else wants the country to go. Are you not setting your own ideas to be morally superior to someone else's ideas? Do you see the point I am attempting to make Bob? Even in the military their can be only one director. That commanding officers direction is superior to all others. Now a soldier is not required to obey an unlawful order however that soldier does not know what an unlawful order sounds like unless he has an understanding of a higher moral order of humanity. Of course humans want their own individual sense of moral order to be superior to everyone else's sense of moral order. What you end up with is that the most powerful will force their moral order on the weak. That is the way humans are born. If you think humans are born good I suggest you go hang out with a three year old in a toy store. Humans are not moral period, I sure hope we are not arrogant enough to think we are. Moral behavior is taught so it had to come from somewhere other than a human being.
You don't know much about me... read some of my many posts over the course of my time spent on this forum and you'll get your answers.
I currently am taking College Biology. I am amazed at how much more we know about life than we did when I last studied biology, over 35 years ago. For example, the components that are within cells, no one had any idea how complicated they really are, dozens and dozens of processes constantly going on in each and every cell every second of every minute.
Which just shows me that much more how great God really is, making living things so complicated, and giving us the intelligence to figure it out.
Evolution, like gravity, is a fact. Things evolve over time and things are attracted to each other
The "theory" part of evolution and gravity relate to th underlying nature of the facts, not the facts themselves.
No amount of praying is going to keep you from splatting on the ground if you jump off a 30-story building nor change the evolutionary process.
We can argue the "why" of both evolution and gravity. But you can't deny the fact of evolution or gravity.
You are so, so right! I pray often for you that are blind.None is so blind as he who will not see.
Nosreme...if you would...rather than arguing the theory of evolution and how and where it all began...instead of leading me through the evolution of man...please just show me where it stopped and tell me why.
