Author | Topic: "Best" evidence for evolution. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dredge Member (Idle past 136 days) Posts: 2855 From: Australia Joined: |
A biblical "kind" may refer to a phylum. The various phylum appear suddenly (no evidence of a line of gradual evolutionary progression) in the fossil record, and contrary to the evolutionist propaganda, there is no fossil evidence of "branches" connecting phyla to form the single "tree" of common ancestry of Darwinist folklore. The fossil evidence looks more like an orchard than one lone tree.
In short, the creation of separate "kinds" explains the fossil evidence better than universal common descent.

I take your point. I'd forgotten what the Bible actually says. Having been reminded, I realize that a phylum is way too broad to be a "kind", so maybe it refers to a class, order or family. Thank you for pointing out my error.
Furthermore, the creatures described in the verses you quoted are what we see today and not the 'original' creation. As someone once said, there are no rabbits in the preCambrian.

No, that is not a lie. The fossil record shows phyla appearing suddenly and separately; after which diversification occurs within each phylum. So the fossil evidence looks like an orchard of separate, individual trees and not at all like a single tree.
The Darwinian single-tree diagrams typically presented to the masses are misleading - they are a mixture of fact and theory, but the reader is lead to believe that the diagram is based on factual fossil evidence. The reader is not informed that the "branches" connecting one phylum to another are theoretical - based on the assumption of common descent)- and are not the result of fossil evidence. Sounds like you too have been misled. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

I forgot to mention that, not only are the "branches" connecting phyla inferred from theory, phylogenetic trees of life's history based on genetics often contradict phylogenetic trees based on different evidence, such as anatomy.
Furthermore, phylogenetic trees based on a certain anatomical feature will often contradict a tree based on a different anatomical feature. Brusca and Brusca state in "Invertebrates" (p.120) that "phylogenetic analysis at the level of phyla is highly problematical"; Jenner, in "Evolution of Animal Body Plans" (p.209) says "the study of higher level animal phylogeny has yielded ... little detailed consensus ... In point of fact, there exists no such thing as 'the traditional textbook phylogeny'. A diversity of different schemes can be found." If common ancestry is the reality, such contradictions should not exist and different forms of evidence should all point to one, unambiguous phylogenetic tree.

Thank you for this little piece of Darwinist folkllore. What a pity there is next to nothing in the fossil record to support it. Precambrian - Wikipedia The major body plans were well on their way in development when the hard-body versions developed and stuck easily in the mud to be fossilized. It should be no surprise that these newly evolved critters would further diversify over the next 30 million years. That's what evolution does. And THAT is where and when the present body plans evolved. Not suddenly or separately but slowly over millions of years in further development of life from the pre-cambrian populations Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Now let me get this straight ... you don't what I believe about the history of life on earth, yet you call my belief "fantasy" and "stupidity". This is not your best work, is it?
Abject stupidity but with demons.

I think now would be a good time for you to take an aspirin, make yourself a nice cup of tea, then have a good lie-down.
