Still More Evidence for Evolution

Re:Evolution WILL happen

As long as the "politically correct" among us succeed in "saving the least of us," we are damned to devolution as the gene pool muddies.

Yes, maybe god's a filthy liar and a shithead, too. Actually, that really goes a long way to addressing many theological dilemas.

Some questions... (revised)

[eventhorizon5]

Here's a revised comment that I posted in a past article dealing with evolution:

Some problems with the theory of evolution:

1. There is no true physical evidence. All the physical evidence points to things unrelated to evolution itself. See below for the points on this.
2. It doesn't explain the origin of dimensions (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc). It also doesn't explain the origin of time. Time is a linear single-dimensional direction. People are always at only a single point on the entire time scale, and cannot see beyond that. How could evolution have created time if time would have been needed in the evolutionary process?
3. The Big Bang theory doesn't explain the origin of the large mass of exploding matter
4. None of the measurement methods are anywhere near accurate, for example, carbon dating
5. Why would creatures evolve to sexually reproduce instead of just developing an ability to copy themselves?
6. If the big bang sent matter flying in all directions, then the formation of planets and solar systems would not work because of the inability for the matter to slow down in space and generate orbital patterns. If other bodies became attracted by gravity to other bodies, then a thrust force would be needed to create an orbit; instead they would collide. Gravity alone would not solve this problem, since for an orbit to be created a downward gravitational pull is needed PLUS a tangental velocity across the surface so that the object ends up in an eternal fall.
7. Since the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth (look in the news, online stuff, etc. There's plenty of proof), then 3 billion years ago the moon would have been inside the earth.
8. How did the sun start a massive fusion reaction all by itself and why didn't the other planets start their own also? What made the sun a 'sun' and what made a planet a 'planet'?
9. According to biographies of Charles Darwin, he was originally a Christian, who became too analytical and fell away from his faith, thus creating his own 'creationist' theory. But, before he died, he declared his theory as false and went back to his original Christian faith.
10. If humans evolved from monkeys, then why do monkeys still exist? It can't be because the monkeys diverged; since then the species of monkey that is alive today would have had to reverse its evolutionary development in order to become what it was then, now.
11. Why haven't scientists been able to pinpoint where the human subconscious is located in the brain? They have never found where all the long-term information is stored, and they've already mapped out every part of the brain. The person's brain doesn't grow when they become smarter; size is not part of it. (the reason is that it's not in the brain, it's in the spirit, which is a 4-dimensional object. How much information can be stored in a 4-dimensional object? infinite amounts.)
12. Something cannot be created out of nothing in the third dimension because of the limitation of time. A supreme being (God), since he would have created the dimensional structure and time itself, would not be restricted to the tight boundaries of time (time is the 4th dimension), and would thus have no beginning or end (people cannot imagine being beyond the restrictions of time, so they cannot really understand the meaning of the word infinate.
13. Where did the explosive compounds come from that made the large amount of matter from the big bang explode? What ignited them?
14. Anybody knows that when you burn paper that you end up with carbon soot. Explosions cannot create things; they destroy things.
15. Why are there many languages? If people evolved, wouldn't they all communicate the same? Why would they want segregation? Would you want to abandon English and go make up your own language?
16. What's the purpose of life if people just die and then that's it? Also, sex is for reproduction, and what's the point of reproduction if the produced living beings have no point of existence?
17. Life itself is not a physical object; if people evolved they would be able to create life with their bare hands. Define life. What is it? What makes it possible? Shoving cells together and starting chemical reactions does not create life; if it did then we would have our own created beings in labs.
18. Who or what created mathematics? How about the simple ability of calculation and relational mathematical structures? People 'discover' mathematical principles, but who originally developed them? It's like writing computer apps in the C++ language. The language had an origin, and people learn about it. What if there was no original creator of the language, and it just suddenly got 'discovered'?
19. Who or what created the laws of physics?

Some easy facts:
The world is approximately 7000 years old
Dinosaurs never existed; the fossils found are from animals that died from the flood.
People have found that the soil layers show a sudden massive death of beings. I don't have time to show the proof for everything about the flood, but if you look for it, it's there.

Evolution. The ignorant's excuse for everything.

I am a born again Christian who has seen and read proof that God created the world and all the people in it. Not just from the Bible, but even in modern science such as physics. The truth and facts are all layed out plain as day, but since the majority of the world, including the US is not Christian, that makes most people ignorant fools. To declare yourself Christian, you must have a personal relationship with Christ and have accepted him. A reply asked what's the name of my 'god', and my answer is that he is the I Am.

I hate Microsoft, I hate government corruption, I hate evolution.

Ignorance is bliss.
