They are not interested in looking at the evidence. They have been supplied with relevant links time and time again and NOT ONCE has either of them responded directly to the scientific evidence. Neither of them have even made reference to it. The way they have both had to led by the nose through basic evolutionary ideas in this thread - and that's clear to anyone who reads it from beginning to end - shows that both their understanding and knowledge of the subject is limited. |

The premise of evolution is very simple. You choose to distinguish the origin of life and the evolution of life. I don't. To me they're interwined, and neither has supporting evidence. Semantics won't work here. Nice try. Instead of giving links to 500 page essays on an issue, reference any small fraction of it that you'd like me to refute. It'll be easy to do so. |

Natural selection occuring without mutations? LOL. Ok, here's an example. Person A has a higher threshold for cold weather than Person B. There is no mutation here. All of a sudden the weather gets really cold. Person B dies while Person A lives. There ya go. An example of natural selection without mutation. Was that so hard? |

And about your second statement, it seems to me you're confusing natural selection and cell mutations with evolution. I've already shown you that neither necessarily leads to evolution. That is us coming from single cells. |

So I win if I am able to get your biology professor (any one of them) to admit that it's a belief. If they don't than I owe you, right? Forward it to the highest of the high biology profressor. The best of the best at your school. Provide full contact info. I will chat with him/her also. |

The biologists, geneticists and paleotologists -- amongst others --have spent the last 150 years collecting all the evidence. Most of it is summarised in that 29 evidences of macroevolution link. If you have a problem with any of it, start tearing it apart. Show me how the evidence doesn't support the idea of common descent. |

You said: "Btw, an evolutionary scientist would agree with me and not any of you. He/she would agree that it's a belief that is as yet unsubstantiated. Their is a reason why evolutionary scientists makes statements like "We belief that at so and so million years ago so and so occurred." They do NOT say that "We know that on so and so date, so and so occurred". The reason is that they know just how speculative it is. I could care less if the world wants to believe evolution. What I know is that not a scientist to date exists on earth that has been able to demonstrate that it is true. And THAT's a FACT jack." "I've shown you that mutations of cells, viruses, and bacteria don't naturally lead to the conclusion that multi-levelled, multi-celled organism evolved from them. Mutations may be just that, mutations. To make the leap in logic to say that because a cell mutates that it will one day become an animal that contains trillions of muscle cells, skin cells, heart cells, is a leap in logic. It is not proven, it has yet to be demonstrated even on the most rudimentary level." You've also said that there is no archeological proof of evolution since there are a lack of transitional fossiles. Care to add anything else before I type up a rough draft?

BTW, be more specific when you say "a scientist would agree with me and not any of you". What would he agree with you on and what would he disagree with me on?

I will twist your biology professor inside out. He can try to throw as much jargon as he likes at me. General knowledge, thorough understand of Evolutionary CLAIMS, understanding of science and scientific principles, and common sense will override anything he/she can dish at me.
It's quite simple. Evolution claims A happens. I say that you're assuming that that A happened but that you have not demonstrated that it happend. I say that you've used inference (from things like cell mutations and 'natural selection')and plausable scenarios to presume A happend and is possible. But you have not demonstrated that it happened and can happen. That is you have not shown the sequence of events that would be required for A to happen out in the field or in the labratory and actually applied it and observed it work. |

You biology teacher is a mortal man like you and me. He is no superman and he is no God. For all intents and purposes, assuming all things equal, what he can understand, I can understand, and you can understand.
Science is not a big bizarre practice that only "elite" have a monopoly on. You and I can pick up a book and if we can read and understand, we can understand just as well as the professor can. |

Falsification of evolution as common descent would be complicated because of the vast amount of supporting evidence for it. The idea of common descent does not rest on one simple idea or single piece of evidence, so to falsify it would require some very significant findings rather than a single bit of anomalous data. For instance, while finding one fossil in rocks that are much older than would be expected (say, a primate in Precambrian rock) would be improbable, it would be a stretch to say it would falsify evolution. Realistically, one anomaly against all the evidence would be a hard sell, and to be honest, while it would certainly raise issues (and creationists would have a field day), it would probably be chalked up to unknown error. On the other hand, if a general pattern of finding fossils in rocks reliably dated to much different ages than expected was seen, that would deal a serious blow to the idea of common descent. One possible example of this might be if primate or mammal fossils started consistently turning up in Precambrian rocks - in such a situation, evolution would be in trouble. What is important to understand here is that evolution rests upon a general and widespread pattern of evidence from a number of different fields. Because of that, a similarly general pattern of contradictory evidence would be required to falsify evolution. Isolated anomalies might at most force a modification of evolutionary theory, but they wouldn't cause it to be dismissed. Another possible manner in which evolution might be falsified is if our understanding of physics and chemistry changed such that the laws and tests used for determining the age of the earth were found to be incorrect, and new tests showed that the earth was quite young, perhaps on the order of several thousand years. In such an event, the principle of common descent which is the basis of evolutionary theory would be dealt a fatal blow. There are also other any number of other ways in which evolution could be falsified, so there are ways in which the idea of common descent could be invalidated. " Idiot. |

Evolution, when addressing common descent, is largely a historical science. This means that it relates to actions that are supposed to have happened in the distant past, and this makes testing the theory complicated because, unless time travel is invented, we cannot directly test the theory. However, this does not mean that the theory is not testable at all. As with other historical investigations, you can make predictions and retrodictions (to utilize present information or ideas to infer or explain a past event or state of affairs - e.g., to "retrodict past eclipses" as opposed to predicting future eclipses) based on the theory. What this means is that we can state that we would expect to find certain things (say, certain types of fossils) when looking at the historical record, and if those things are found, it supports the theory. Thus, while we cannot perform the kind of direct tests like we can in physics and chemistry, the general theory of evolution is testable just as other historical theories are testable. " |
