In my experience creationists cannot explain the evidence around us in the way that evolution can. [Spirituality & Religion]

Evolution theory consistently and cohesively accounts for the physical evidence we see around us.
Are there any creationists here who feel they can offer better explanations for the evidence from a creation standpoint?

There is a teapot that circles the sun. Prove me wrong.

@MrBrownstone That is the worst butchery of Russel's Teapot I have ever seen.

@MrBrownstone you can't disprove an "opinion". As to your teapot around the sun, the question is how far away is it? Once you eliminate orbits close enough to melt it, and tell us if it's clay, for if it's just about anything else, if it's too far from the city, then the near absolute zero temperature, will shatter it.

If you're trying to say that evolution is an "opinion", then that makes it YOUR opinion, and since you can't disprove an opinion, all you did here, is introduce a circular reference, for which there is no solution.

LOL, Evolution is a colloquial term, the fact that you think it means so much is all the proof I need that it explains nothing.

@SpaceAce Two things:
1. Context makes it clear what kind of evolution is being discussed.
2. "Okay so this "debate" in Biological Evolution starts and end like they all do, you take microevolution and say see I have proven Abiogenisis." I've never seen that done once, and I've done this song and dance a lot.

@SpaceAce [quote]I probably confused you by using specific terms[/quote]

On the contrary, you have misused several terms.

Evolution is not merely change, and change is not synonymous with evolution.
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection addresses changes in allele distribution and frequency within populations i.e. evolution.

[quote]you take microevolution and say see I have proven Abiogenisis[/quote]

The terms 'micro-evolution' and 'macro-evolution' are merely [i]a distinction without a difference.[/i] The only scale that applies is temporal... changes over a short time versus the same changes over a long time.

Abiogenesis is a completely different topic from evolution.
That's because the faithless are intellectually superior. I humbly acknowledge your superior analytical mind. I am happy with my ignorant faith, however my faith tells me that evolution is divine, so we would only disagree on the tired old atheist vs believer thing.
Everyone needs validation. I've been too harsh on you. I hereby validate you! You are now validated. Enjoy your validation.
@newjaninev2 Yet another intellectually superior person to acknowledge. [quote][/quote]

Then surely there a billions of other simpletons with whom I can share my lack of depth and insight. I'll leave the heavy stuff to intellectual giants like yourself and celine.

@puck61 you seem to be conflating intellectual and academic
@newjaninev2 I'm just having fun with you guys. You set up these dragnets when you're having a bout of insecurity. It's funny. You need to be constantly validated and supported for the same reason. Happy hunting!

The explanation I always get when I ask this question...

Why aren't creatures still evolving? If we came from apes, why aren't we evolving into something different and better and even more intelligent?

@SW-User look up peppered moth,that's the usual high school example. As soot led to very blackened cities in the industrial revolution the moth evolved to be nearly fully black.

Btw all non sub-Saharan humans come from one female about 200,000 years ago... look at the variation from asian to European native Australians etc that shows human evolution up to the European dominance from 16th century onwards

@SW-User Everything on the planet is currently evolving... it's a universal and ceaseless process. That's reflected in the three tenets of evolution.

Incidentally, you might note that evolution isn't teleological. There's no 'goal' such as intelligence (any any other characteristic), and there's no ideal... so no 'better'

We didn't come from apes.
All primates (apes, chimpanzees, humans, and bonobos) share a common ancestor

@SW-User there is an experiment that was run on birds, they were taken out of their habitats and placed in 1 with only worms and 1 with only berries. they evolved to be better soothed to catch their food supply, they can't mate anymore between these new species.

i think we still are we are able to get older. we are become more resilient, longer, and other things. inteligence keeps going higher, but the problems with creationist like i presume you are is that you say why aren't we evolving, but the time it took for major changes from ape to men took millions of years maybe or at least a couple hundred thousand and you are going off on the last 100 years.
