Hi my Creationist friends! I have a question: You reject the Theory of Evolution but can you please share with me your understanding of the theory? [Spirituality & Religion]
I mean seriously. Not getting in your jabs and barbs but just your honest understanding of what evolution is. I do genuinely find that most people who reject evolution also have a very limited or distorted understanding of it. How familiar are you with the evidence? What are your main stumbling blocks to accepting it? If you're being honest, are they a lack of evidence or because they conflict with your faith?
Let's be civil, let's be honest.

@wilderflower [quote]He’s spinning the evidence of evolution into a ‘fairy tale’[/quote]
Evolution has no evidence for me to spin into a fairy tale. Evolution is the fairy tale that scientists have drum up since they fear of committing intellectual suicide by believing in God. Pretty lame excuse for trading the truth of God for the lie of man.
@GodSpeed63 Oh and we should mindlessly follow the fairy tales in a book called the holy bible which was written by men to control other people through fear. No thanks I prefer reality. Do you read and follow every word of the Bible?
@GodSpeed63 Prove to me [b]one time [/b] when you weren’t a passive aggressive coward! You can’t because that’s what you are. I can prove your cowardice just by asking this question [i]again [/i] that you always run away from answering. Do you read and follow every word of the Bible?
@GodSpeed63 Every time we had a conversation you run away from answering my question. In case you forgot what it is.. Do you read and follow every word of the Bible?
Of course you won’t answer it because you’re a passive aggressive coward.
@GodSpeed63 So you’re responding to @newjaninev2 but you haven’t replied to answer my question. Interesting. Do you read and follow every word of the Bible?
lol we'll see. If you provide counter arguments to her evidence then i will be wrong. If you simply deny the evidence and repeat that god did it then you will have proved me right.😉
@GodSpeed63 Show me what you believe is evidence for evolution
Let’sbegin. Settle in, because here’s an awful lot of evidence, although here we’ll just be touching on a tiny portion of it.
Very small marine organisms, such as plankton, are ideal for showing gradual evolutionary change. There are many billions of them, many with hard parts, and they conveniently fall directly to the seafloor after death, piling up in a continuous sequence of layers. Sampling the layers in order is easy: you can thrust a long tube into the seafloor, pull up a columnar core sample, and read it from bottom to top (our research institutes here in New Zealand do this routinely).
Come to New Zealand and you can see a two-hundred-meter-long core taken from the ocean floor near New Zealand, presenting an unbroken history of the evolution of the marine foraminiferan [i]Globorotalia conoidea[/i] over an eight-million-year period.
Or you might prefer the eighteen-meter-long core extracted near Antarctica, representing two million years of sediments, showing us, again in an unbroken history, the evolution of the radiolarian [i]Pseudocubus vema[/i]
Or perhaps you’d like to see my personal favourite… a core sample that shows an ancestral plankton species [i]Eucyrtidium calvertense[/i] dividing into two descendants from a common ancestor over 3.5 million years. The new species is [i]Eucyrtidium matuyamai[/i]
