Re: The Cambrian Explosion

"You seem to be trying to suggest that mutation and natural selection could not produce the variety seen in the Cambrian over 70 million generations. It certainly could."
We Creationists will never be able to prove any ID arguments to evolutionists because evolutionists are convinced beyond any doubt that not only did millions of life forms suddenly spring forth at the beginning of the Cambrian period due to mutation and natural selection, "it certainly did" according to their definition of science.
Their definition of ToE science does not have to prove anything from start to finish to any high degree of accuracy. All it has to do is line up a number of similar fossils, and then show how some current life forms can somehow change some of their characteristics, and wala, the ToE is thereby proven science. ID proof, no matter how convincing, is not valid proof; while ToE proof is overwhelmingly convincing because by their definition of science, it is proven. Go figure !!!
This is far far different than other branches of science where many times theories can be proven to a high degree of accuracy from start to finish, thereby verifying that the theory actually works.
I wish you all the best in your attempts to put forth reasonable arguments that declare the glories of our wonderful Creator.
Blessings

Bluejay wtites: Again, this is a dodge of the central question.
The dodge is all yours and all the other ToEs at this forum. Science can delve into the the "what" of life forms that existed millions of years in the past, but science can never determine the "how" they came to be. This is what ToEs attempt to do by all the evidence they put forth as evidenciary proof, while discounting any explanation creationists put forth as to why ID is the only reason why any life exists.
While maintaining the possibility that "God gaps" could explain the transitional fossils, the rest of your arguments put forth skeptism that you don't want there to be a God and universe like that.
