When you look up in the sky and view stars, you don't see them as they are. You see them as they were in the past. The light we get from the sun is eight minutes old. The light we get from the nearest star other than the sun is over four years old. The cosmic background radiation is over 13 billion years old. So if astronomy can work as a science despite looking at fossils, why are you picking on evolution? Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science.

How do we know it isn't the devil taking away the uranium and replacing it with lead and a whole bunch of energy? How on earth do we know it's neutrons when we've never seen a neutron? And of course, up until we developed the scanning-tunneling microscope, we had never even seen an atom, so where did we get off saying that they existed? And yet somehow, we managed to come up with an entire morphology of the atom from the nucleus to the electron orbitals. Do you know what a "cloud chamber" is? It's used in particle physics to detect particles. You don't actually see the particles. Instead, you see what are essentially condensation trails as the particles pass through the mist. So if you accept that physics can find out things about the world without direct observation, why are you picking on evolution? Edited by Rrhain, : No reason given.

Rrhain writes: What about it? Surely you aren't about to say that a species cannot have variations, are you? Those are two different species of horses. There is no way they could breed physically. Thumbelina is the smallest horse on record.Thumbelina facts. Breed: Dwarf miniature horse Type: Chestnut Mare Birthday: May 1st, 2001 Home: Goose Creek Farms in Missouri Height: 17 1/2 inches or 44.5 centimeters tall Weight: 57 pounds Diet: 1 cup of grain twice a day and a few handfuls of hay. Her parents were standard miniature horses. Thumbelina is not a Shetland. The big fellow is Radar, a Belgian draught horse.He stands 6' 7 1/2" weighs 2400 lbs. At the time of the picture he was the world's tallest horse. There is one now 6' 11" tall. So since we have horses today from the size of Tumbelina to Radarand all points in-between I am not sure the horse tree is correct. But that is my problem. God Bless, "John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

ICAN'T,
So since we have horses today from the size of Tumbelina to Radar and all points in-between I am not sure the horse tree is correct. But that is my problem. The phylogeny is based on many morphological characters. I'm not even sure it's based on absolute size at all. Mark There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those that understand binary, & those that don't

You claimed "kinds" were all there is, so lets see some scientific documentation. So far you have ducked this challenge twice. I think you have no scientific basis for "kinds" and that it is purely a religious term but you are unwilling to admit it. I simply said the "revelation" that our Creator has given us says He created every creature after their own "kind." Yes, this is my religious belief as well. Your religious belief is in the speculations of the ToE. If the ToE can be proven to a high degree of accuracy within the time frame in which we live, as are most other scientific proofs, then then you would have a proven evolutionary model that should be taught in every biology classroom. Of course you "claim" the speculative evolutionary model is a proven scientific model to begin with. So it's the evolutionist who starts with a conclusion, and then works backward to a model that can never be fully proven to any reasonable degree of accuracy.

I didn't make myself clear. The guppies actually speciated into two new species. They underwent reproductive isolation and, after a number of generations, were not able to breed. This defines speciation, because now, genetic information cannot be shared between the two populations, and evolution can only occur on the population level. Let me know when these guppies have climbed all the way up the evolutionary ladder to at least a chimp. Then you will have some proof that the start-to-finish evolutionary model works beyond these guppyites.

You completely misunderstood the question. Straggler asked whether specifically creationist science, not science done by christians, has benefited the human race in any way. Has any science, based fundamentally from the view that God created the Earth, ever done anything for humankind? Has any such science ever been done period? You misunderstand what the real issue is all about. If the evolutionary model can be called "true science", which it is not, and taught in the classroom, then the belief that our Creator created the universe and all life therein should be given an equal opportunity. But the religion of the Theory of Evolutionists will not allow this.

Sure sure, they were different elements. But does every element fission like this? No? Then by your own logic, you're claim is fishy. What if chemical analysis is Satan's tool to fool scientists? Unless you can make a movie of the atom splitting into two separate atoms, emitting a ton of energy and a few more neutrons, then their claim is not true science, by your argument. I don't hear anyone else backing up your "fishy" argument. By the same token, what if the ToE is Satan's tool to fool you?

Those 72 Nobel Prize winning scientists I quoted --- do they know what "true science" is? Answer:
The start-to-finish ToE predictions/theories are off limits to true scientific research. If these 72 Nobel Prize winning scientists think the predictions of the start-to finish ToE model has been verified/proven to a high degree of accuracy and is true science, the answer is NO! If these 72 Nobel Prize winning scientists have verified/proven to a high degree of accuracy phenomena in other fields of study, then the answer is YES!

And, of course, it would describe the theory of evolution perfectly. How else do scientists know that it's true, except that it predicts the facts of nature apparent to us now? I guess we will forever disagree on this matter of proof. Scientists know things are true by "proving" to a high degree of accuracy that things are as they are. This the ToE has not done nor ever will be be able to do.

I knew you'd run away from this one. I asked you for a yes-or-no answer, without any windy creationist rhetoric. You gave me windy creationist rhetoric without a yes or a no.
So let's do it again. 72 Nobel Prize winning scientists say that:
The evolutionary history of organisms has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as any biological concept. So you know perfectly well what they think of evolution, don't play dumb. Now, do they know what "true science is"? Yes or no?
YES or NO ?

Just what is this "time factor" that you consider to be so problematic? The FACT that no one can duplicate the "time factor" long enough to prove the start-to-finish ToE model. True science actually proves to a high degree of accuracy that things are as they are within a certain time frame.

So we're back to my question since you didn't answer it: Why? What part of the fossil record are you having trouble with? The part that actually "proves" to a high degree of accuracy over billions of years that the start-to-finish ToE model works.

Indeed. That's why the theory of evolution is the fundamental theorem of all biology. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. If it were so inaccurate, why would the entire biological community depend upon it? Are you saying they are frauds engaged in a conspiracy? The biology that makes sense is the biology that truly understands how the human body works and how to help fix it when something goes wrong, not a theory about how life evolved.
