Evolution Versus Intelligent Design

Submitted by News Account on 16 April 2008 - 9:00am. Science & Society There is continual debate taking place over whether organisms are the result of intelligent design or evolution. via Scientific Blogging

Hello,

I can't believe that intelligent people actually think that we as humans evolved from apes; or, before that evolved out of nothing. Just popped into being like some magical act out of a science fiction movie. No! One the contraty. The hard evidence points to Intelligent Design. Besides, show me one piece of evidence that we have evolved over the years. Where is the evidence? Show me one inbetween species. Pick one, I don't care which. Just show me one! If evolution is true then several inbetween species must be living or else how did they get here according to evolutionists theories? You can't produce one inbetween species alive today. Can't do it because we did not evolve. Wise up and get to praying or else prepare for the worst when it comes to the afterlife. If you keep on thinking that no God exists; then, for you....well let's just say you might get your wish that you don't exist after this life is over. As for the rest of us believers though. We will live on forever with our God. You non believing evolutionists on the other hand will be a smoke rising up forever without even being remembered.

Now, let's just say for arguments sake that it is how you evolutionists believe and when we die that is it. Nothing else after this life you just cease to exist. Now let's consider how the reality is when the truth happens to be as we believers know and God does exist just like we have been told. Well now, wouldn't you rather take a chance with the way we believe? Seems like a waste of time otherwise. Comments?

Well, let's see what you got right or wrong.

1. Right, we did not evolve from apes. But we do share an extinct common ancestor.

2. Right again. We didn't evolve from nothing. We evolved from the earliest form of biological life, which most likely arose, due to the laws of chemistry and physics, from the early earth's conditions.

3. Wrong. Categorically no scientific evidence for ID.

4. Wrong. Lost of transitional fossils and genetic proof of common ancestry. There are no half-fish/half-birds if that is what you mean. An in-between species would simply be....... another species. Only the benefit of looking back would allow you to know it was transitional. Tiktaalik. Google it.

5. Wrong. If there is a god and you chose the wrong one, you are in the same boat as the non-believers.

Looks like 3 wrong and two right but 1 and 2 are really wrong as well as explained so you get an F. Sorry. Back to school

I cannot imagine a greater torment than being confined with idiots like yourself for eternity. Frankly, if American Christians are really God's people, he certainly is not worthy of me.

Humans are apes, by any rational classification scheme.

Rick do yourself a favor and go to talkorigins.org and spend some time reading you'll get answers to your questions there.
This would be a great service to your scientific growth, you really need it.

Rick, why have you conflated evolution with atheism?

And if YOU are making the assertion that evolution is wrong, why are you asking others here to do your homework - why not present YOUR evidence against it?

And for that matter, what's this "hard" evidence of ID?

No, make that six apes that can type...even an ignoramus such as you can type.

[The Dude]

Wayne thinks that anyone who disagrees with him is under the influence of Satan.

Have we ever mentioned this?

Let's just say they believe in the satanic theory of evolution.

An ape that can't count. Not surprising.

Mr. Rick, pardon me for asking, but what "hard evidence points to intelligent design"? This is something that the scientific community has been asking for for quite some time now and the response has been, shall we say, LACKING.

Please DON'T present a criticism of evolution as scientific EVIDENCE of "intelligent design". Please DO present scientific evidence that irrefutably shows "intelligent design.

A few examples might be: coded alphanumeric sequences imprinted into human DNA that spells out "this is God, I really did it".

Or, evidence that humans are chemically more closely related to dirt than we are chimpanzees.

Or, given that we are SUPPOSED to be the ultimate "creation" in the universe, proof that we are MORE INTELLIGENTLY designed than anything else in the universe (personally, I would vote that an egg is more INTELLIGENTLY designed than we humans are).

Or,...

Please note: any evidence you present that includes the words "evolution is wrong because ..." is NOT evidence FOR "intelligent design".

Why, yes, I believe we have.

Poor Wayne.

Some day it is hoped he will grow up.

Some of Wayne's more memorable quotes.

Let us not forget his BEST OF ALL:

"Wayne believes that anyone who disagrees with him is under the influence of Satan"

And Bobs motto. If anyone disagress with Bob they are just stupid. lol That's the bottom line os all evos. Superior intelligent monkeys. Using science as a shield to cover their "religion" of evolution.

Nope. "Stupid" is YOUR taunt-of-choice!

You used it RELIGIOUSLY until I pointed out just how FREQUENTLY you use it.

As for me? I rarely use "stupid".

I use "ignorant" quite a bit.

Had you said "ignorant" you would've scored a point.

Especially if you'd said "WILLFULLY IGNORANT".

And, not to people who DISAGREE with me-- just to people like YOU.

YOU, SPECIFICALLY.

It _IS_ personal, Wayne!

Very.

You do NOT represent even 1% of humanity.

And that is a GOOD thing.
