All the best to both Evolved and Shalini.

Is that a fair assessment of your position?<BR/><BR/>If species are immutable, it goes without saying that, rather than being descended from a previously existing form (descent with modification) each species must have appeared spontaneously, exactly as it is, with its respective fins, feathers and opposable thumbs.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, if evolution is "impossible" now, it has always been impossible, so the same rule applies to extinct life forms. Wooly mammoths were poofed into existence in the Pleistocene complete with bad haircuts, rather than being descendants of Pliocene pachyderms with a cold weather adaptation. Tyrannosaurids were a one off deal, rather than being descendants of smaller, less specialized carnivorous theropods. Zeuglodons spontaneously appeared in the late Eocene to occupy the ecological niche that had been vacated by the mososaurs of the Cretaceous.<BR/><BR/>Briefly put, your position is that each species comes into being at some point in time, thrives for a while, and then dies off, leaving no descendants. How many millions of special acts of creation have been required since the Cambrian Explosion, murf?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe you think the geologic column and the resulting chronology is all a bunch of hooey, and the whole ball of wax was cobbled together in a week in 4004 BC. In which case your main quarrel is not with Darwin, but with Smith and Hutton (basically with all geology since the 18th century)and you should be looking for quotes from smart people to the effect that the Earth is only 6000 years old. Good luck with that.jimbonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249837629386789627.post-35165698851314503772008-06-18T10:06:48.832-04:002008-06-18T10:06:48.832-04:00Murf:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_authority" REL="nofollow">argumentum ad verecundiam</A>Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13666102861045517530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249837629386789627.post-18709871979630312272008-06-18T08:57:00.334-04:002008-06-18T08:57:00.334-04:00Hey Shalanonymous: Maybe you could explain this to some...you know, actual scientists, because apparently they don't know.<BR/><BR/>"Darwin's evolutionary explanation of the origins of man has been transformed into a modern myth, to the detriment of scientific and social progress.....The secular myths of evolution have had a damaging effect on scientific research, leading to distortion, to needless controversy, and to gross misuse of science....I mean the stories, the narratives about change over time. How the dinosaurs became extinct, how the mammals evolved, where man came from. These seem to me to be little more than story-telling."<BR/><BR/>Dr. Colin Patterson - Senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History<BR/><BR/>"All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that life's complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did."<BR/><BR/>Dr. Harold Urey - Nobel Prize Winner<BR/><BR/>"After chiding the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past."<BR/><BR/>Dr. Loren Eiseley, anthropologist,murfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249837629386789627.post-31080411275645773152008-06-18T08:19:20.770-04:002008-06-18T08:19:20.770-04:00Whenever I hear someone say "ID is Science", I imagine a small child stamping his feet and wildly flailing his arms, throwing a tantrum when the universe doesn't shape to his will.<BR/><BR/>Then, of course, I laugh in their face.alcarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04603522868077673265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249837629386789627.post-45100221428878794202008-06-18T01:18:35.827-04:002008-06-18T01:18:35.827-04:00I think that explains the fundie attitude towards sex.
