Even those that beleive in divine creation admit it's not a science, as it's not testable and can never be scientifically proven wrong (even a negative, disproving result, should one occur, could just be brushed away as God not wanting to show himself).<br /><br />Instead, scientists work with what CAN be tested. Spontaneous genesis of primitive cell-like life, orders of magnitude lower than a bacterium, in chemically unstable early-Earth conditions, and natural selection taking over from there over the next few billion years.<br /><br />There are immense volumes of evidence (genetic, fossil, chemical, observation --> inference-based, etc.), so much so that it's scientifically indisputable.<br /><br />So far, we (the royal we referring to evolutionary-minded humans as a whole, not me personally) have not been able to replicate that original pseudo-cell creation. We've tried a number of theories, and they've not worked well. But that's not conclusive evidence against spontaneous genesis.<br /><br />Proto-Earth had trillions of chemical reactions and interactions going at any given time, and it had about 1.2 billion years in a state where SOMETHING could happen. All it took was one random interaction of the neccessary parts to make a self-replicating cell-like thing. We haven't been able to replicate that in a few labs with only a couple of decades to try. We'll get there eventually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-23975015594708643062013-02-13T12:37:56.257-08:002013-02-13T12:37:56.257-08:00To immediately above poster: You mean the creation...To immediately above poster: You mean the creationists, right?

We're a ...Who says God created us in his image? We're a very flawed race, both physically, metally and emotionally. Give a beaver a bigger brain and opposable thumbs and it's superior in every way (it doesn't have these, which is why we win).<br /><br />If God was involved in Evolution, he went out just trying to create (maybe or maybe not with the goal of an intelligent race, but sure-as-hell not in his image). We're the result that just-so-happened to occur.<br /><br />If God exists, he's most likely a shapeless cosmic blob of energy that can shift and change at will. If so, God created the amoeba in his image, then moved on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-85315845187154451052013-01-21T12:30:35.391-08:002013-01-21T12:30:35.391-08:00You're looking all of this backwards. The prob...You're looking all of this backwards. The probability of HUMANS specifically evolving is miniscule, but there was no goal to creating us. The chances of SOMETHING being evolved was high (relatively speaking). There was no goal to creat humans this way. We're just the result that came out at the end of the cosmic chance scale (plus intelligence has always been selected for to some degree).<br /><br />You're also looking at things in too-large chunks.<br /><br />As for the eyes, colour vision is better during the day (more detail, we can see certain things better, like fruits), and black-white vision is better at night (more contrast). The common ancestor had a mix of these traits. Animals that today have colour vision had diurnal ancestors, while animals lacking colour vision had nocturnal ancestors. Each specialized from a middle-ground.<br /><br />That original pigment fragment probably just affected the simple organism's temperature at first. Cold-blooded ancestors needed to seek out warmth. The ability to detect this temperature change is what most likely was selected for. Specializations developed, leading to detecting the direction of the temperature source (A.K.A the Sun). Similar systems can be found in very primitive organisms today. Countless generations fine-tuned it, eventually leading to the modern eye.<br /><br />I hope this resolves a few issues.<br /><br />Also, Evolution and God are not mutually exclusive. If God exists, he generally works through scientific, understandable principals. Guided evolution is POSSIBLE (though not absolutely neccessary).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-33761119647550618922012-06-05T18:05:30.708-07:002012-06-05T18:05:30.708-07:00Sorry..I was typing really fast and I misspelled a...Sorry..I was typing really fast and I misspelled a few words:-PLauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376628436133716219.post-72281189302092999902012-06-05T18:03:57.302-07:002012-06-05T18:03:57.302-07:00You're not an "ignorant hillbilly"-y...You're not an "ignorant hillbilly"-you're right. We need GOd. Intelligent design is absolutely true. The Bible tells us that Satan will try to destroy our faith in God, and an example is using methods such as evolution to convince us that there is no God or Jesus. You might relally like the books Evolution: The Lie by Ken Ham and Many Infallible Proofs: Evidences for the Christian Faith by Henry M. Morris. And please, just try reading them...they are very eye opening, and you will understand more than the scientists who are denying God through evoloution (aka eviloution;-)Love and prayers, LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
