Quote:Religion is a fascinating part of the evolution of humans. - english
Fascinating? Let's be honest.....your coy use of the term in light of your obvious contempt for such concept reveals more than a little angst concerning the issue.
Your above statement may be more accurately expressed:
"Evolution is a fascinating, vital and diversionary part of the religion of humans, namely me."
For it requires greater leaps of faith to close the chasms of her missing links than to believe in a God whose calling cards are etched upon all. Even the hearts of the faithless.
Quote:"Not one change of species into another is on record ... we cannot prove that a single species has been changed."- Charles Darwin
One of many pointed though largely dismissed facts regarding 'evolution'....is that of all the fossils on record. None have been found in an interspecies transitory condition.
Even though, quite logically, there should be MYRIADS more of them than their 'stable' forms. For, according to evolution's own religious theory, for every modern example of a certain species....there should be hoardes and hoardes of examples of fossils exhibiting the long, arduous, journey from one species to another.
Even when living examples of ancient species are found....the Coelacanth for instance.....
They are shown to have not 'evolved' at all. The Coelacanth, as is demonstrated on rare occasion, still swimming clumsily along with it's stubby fins, or as some priests of science like to faithfully refer to them.... 'legs'.
The thoughtless, brainless, mechanism that 'sees' the need to 'design' new appendages to adapt to the 'survival of the fittest' model......absent.
The Coelacanth swims today, looking exactly as the fossils unearthed from their burial places.....from millions of years ago.
Although there are myriad examples of life today which clearly show the amazing flexibility of species to adapt to environment WITHIN their species......
The fossil record is conspicuously devoid of any obvious interspecies 'mutations'. Of which there should, statistically be many, many more than those uncovered......and if anything, this fact alone lends serious support against the the perverse religious supposition that is....'Evolution'.
Famous Quotes: Quote:"The curious thing is that there is a consistency about the fossil gaps; the fossils are missing in all the important places."
(Francis Hitching, archaeologist).
"As is well known, most fossil species appear instantaneously in the fossil record."
(Tom Kemp, Oxford University)
"The fact that a theory so vague, so insufficiently verifiable, and so far from the criteria otherwise applied in 'hard' science has become a dogma can only be explained on sociological grounds."
(Ludwig von Bertalanffy, biologist)
"Micromutations do occur, but the theory that these alone can account for evolutionary change is either falsified, or else it is an unfalsifiable, hence metaphysical theory. I suppose that nobody will deny that it is a great misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes addicted to a false theory. But this is what has happened in biology: ... I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. When this happens many people will pose the question: How did this ever happen?"
(S Lovtrup, Darwinism: The Refutation of a Myth (London:Croom Helm, p.422))
"If one allows the unquestionably largest experimenter to speak, namely nature, one gets a clear and incontrovertible answer to the question about the significance of mutations for the formation of species and evolution. They disappear under the competitive conditions of natural selection, as soap bubbles burst in a breeze."
(Evolutionist Herbert Nilson, Synthetische Artbildung (Lund, Sweden:Verlag CWK Gleerup Press, 1953, p 174)
"In all the thousands of fly-breeding experiments carried out all over the world for more than fifty years, a distinct new species has never been seen to emerge ... or even a new enzyme."
(Gordon Taylor, The Great Evolution Mystery (New York: Harper and Row, 1983, pp 34, 38)
"The uniform, continuous transformation of Hyracotherium into Equus, so dear to the hearts of generations of textbook writers, never happened in nature."
(George Simpson, palaeontologist and Evolutionist)
