re: #35 TheHistorian

And why should I invest argument into someone who has his own biases and is not willing for his theory to be evaluated in an open discussion. As I said, like Al Gore.

The theory of evolution is not my theory. I don’t own it, I didn’t originate it.

But I think that it is the best theory we have to explain how life on earth evolved.

What do I mean when I say that life evolved?

What I mean is that species appear on earth at different times any may species have gone extinct so that there has been no time on earth when every species that has ever lived exists at the same time. There have been different assemblages of species on earth at different times in the history of life.

For starters there is the simple fact that many of the species that were alive in the past are not alive today.

Do we both agree that dinosaurs are not around any more?

There is also the fact that we have never seen human remains in rocks that contain Dinosaur remains.

Do you agree that Humans and Dinosaurs didn’t live on earth at the same time?

Or do you think that the Flintstones is a reasonably accurate account of life a few thousand years ago?

If you were really interested, you would go to sites like creationdefense.org, or let’s try one from Popular Science [Link: www.popsci.com…] Or answer my question above: how did the eye evolve?

That old canard!

That is too easy. Darwin explained how it could happen in The Origin.

The vertebrate eye can evolve from a single light sensitive cell in a gradual series of changes through intermediate stages. There are living organisms that posses ‘eyes’ that are representative of each of the necessary intermediate steps.

Is that old Creationist talking point the best that you’ve got?
