Guest Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 Anyway, look what I coincidentally found, right on cue! They're now saying that dogs are not related to wolves! And all this time scientists were saying the closest living relatives of dogs were wolves! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/14/science/wolf-to-dog-scientists-agree-on-how-but-not-where.html Let's see how fast evolutionists will try to salvage that, and come up with "likely scenarios." You gotta hand it to evolutionists - they're quite adept with the good old band-aid for plugging holes. They don't need a band aid for plugging holes. Any scientist worth his or her diploma will love a hole. It gives them a chance to do science. Where would be without the holes? And for the record, my dogs came from the SPCA. Quote

betsy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Yet another thread where Betsy shows she has no idea what science is or what methods it uses. I suppose you know about science....and a top chemist like James Tour, doesn't. And FYI, if you read, and understand what you've read....you'd see that I'm quoting a scientist. If you can't even figure that out, how am I suppose to believe you know what you're talking about? What in your opinion is macro evolution? Why? Are you hoping my "own" opinion will change the scientific definition of macro evolution? What "opinion" are you wanting to hear? Edited May 15, 2016 by betsy Quote
betsy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) GostHacked Betsy, just how DO we manage to stay feet planted on this rock we call Earth? Why can't I ever get to space by myself? I've tried jumping and such, but still can't get there. Now give me a rocket ... Gosthacked Yup, have you been thrown off this rock we call earth yet? That's not just anecdotal. Exactly! There's evidence for gravity..........but there's no evidence for macro evolution. Edited May 15, 2016 by betsy Quote
DogOnPorch Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 Exactly! There's evidence for gravity..........but there's no evidence for macro evolution. Other than fossils and everything related to them. Or were all fossils created in a Biblical flood? Placed their by a supernatural demon? Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

betsy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Isn't macro evolution just intelligent design sneaking in the back door? Speaking of Intelligent Design..... Evolutionists make disparaging remarks when someone uses Design arguments, and yet they use the design argument in their search for intelligent life in outer space! NASA's SETI program sends signals into outer space. Why? If intelligent life happens to detect SETI's signals, the intelligent life will recognize the intelligent design of its creation and they (intelligent alien life), will then conclude that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe! Obviously, evolutionists recognize the validity of Design arguments! Radio signals in narrow, focused bands area possible indication of intelligent life, given that humans generate such signals here on earth. http://www.space.com/19703-intelligent-alien-life-exoplanets-seti.html Edited May 15, 2016 by betsy Quote
betsy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Here's a Paleontologist from McGill University, Canada....rejecting macro evolution! Large-scale evolutionary phenomena cannot be understood solely on the basis of extrapolation from processes observed at the level of modern populations and species—though that is the central tenet of Neodarwinism. So says Robert Carroll in this stimulating article, in which he calls for an expanded concept of the evolutionary synthesis. Robert Carroll is in the department of biology and is curator of vertebrate palaeontology, Redpath Museum, McGill University, Canada. Darwinism, he notes, “was based on the primarily uniformitarian concept” that the processes behind observable variations are sufficient to explain all diversification in the living world. Yet Carroll rejects this widely held thesis. The data from his own field of palaeontology count against it, he argues, noting that the observed “large-scale patterns and rates of evolution are not comparable with those hypothesised by Darwin on the basis of extrapolation from modern populations and species.” Using arguments familiar to regular readers of Origins and Design, Carroll explains that what we find in the fossil record is the opposite of Darwinian gradualism. Instead of the Darwinian emphasis on smooth and continuous divergence, we find discontinuities. Populations and species “are clearly distinct in all taxonomic groups.” The final point covered by Carroll is the role of natural selection. Despite numerous reports of apparently fast morphological change, Carroll points out that they are not linked to unidirectional transformations. Hence, they do not provide evidence of a mechanism that can explain large-scale evolutionary phenomena. “The relatively rare events involving the origin of major new taxa or significant morphological divergence at the species level require much greater than normal consistency of directional selection” (p. 31). “Towards a new evolutionary synthesis”.

Was the whale ever a land dwelling creature? None. That's why you're having a hard time giving a straight answer. You'll find multitudes of assumptions like, "maybe"...."could be"...."likely"...."possibly"......BUT you won't find an evidence. That's right. Just keep asking questions about them! So.......where's the evidence for the whale? Edited May 15, 2016 by betsy Quote

waldo Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 again, obviously this thread is a religious focused creation versus evolution topic; accordingly, it should not be in the Health, Science and Technology Forum. request to MLW moderators: please move this thread to the appropriate forum . Quote
waldo Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) It's detrimental to my health... even for you that's a bit of a reach to suggest your health is affected; however, considering the OP is actively "arguing" the exact same thing in the religious forum based 'NAS' related thread... perhaps this thread should be rolled on into it. Surely, if nothing else, the detriment to your health would be dealt with! . Edited May 15, 2016 by waldo Quote

betsy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Was the whale ever a land dwelling creature? Based on what my credible sources have to say about evolution....the answer is a resounding, NO! Take the example of whales — using evolution as their guide and knowing how natural selection works, biologists knew that the transition of early whales from land to water occurred in a series of predictable steps. The evolution of the blowhole, for example, might have happened in the following way: http://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html#sthash.O0cw6DjG.dpuf "MIGHT HAVE." I tell you, you'll find a lot of assumptions - "could have,"....."may have"........"likely"......"possibly"........ No evidence. Only speculations. Edited May 15, 2016 by betsy Quote
