DO YOU BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION?

this thread is a ticking time bomb now.....

I also find it odd that intelligent people can so readily accept the astronomical odds of our being on this planet as the result of an explosion of a giant rock but won't give any other ideas a whirl.

again, we, as humans, just have to look past our egos, just because we can think doesn't make us special. it is hard for some to just accept that we are here because we are here, no other reason, it hurts the ego.

DNA, as mentioned, reveals a lot for us. we are going to get better and better at decoding it and will be able to unveil some of those links that we seek.

ROFL yep. It was a time bomb when it started.

Interesting though. I like the commentary until people start getting upset.

wow whoever doesn't believe in evolution is retarded

I dont beleive In god, but I have heard a lot of scientific evidence, and cultural evidence to suggest that there was a great flood.
(our natives here have legends of a great white whale saving their people from a flood and taking them to the top of a mountain, where the whale became a glacier)

I have also found fossils of clams more than 18" across in one of the riverbeds well above sea level, which at one point was covered by the ocean.

Just to lay this one to rest, there has never been any credible evidence that any global flood ever happened. The amount of geological evidence that an event like that would leave would be astronomical, and there would be scientists across the globe that would leap on an opportunity to study a global event like that in a heartbeat. The fact is, there just is no such evidence to be found, or it would have easily been found by now. The only evidence that we ever find (from geology, genetics, biology, archaeology, life chemistry, etc) points unequivocally to the fact of evolution.

Saying that one believes in evolution is like claiming belief in gravity or inertia.

i voted before i read the thread, cause i firmly believe in evolution. but i dont know enough about FW rays to assert that they evolved from SW rays. or that they were "always" FW, either.

You state this as fact. Maybe we won't be able to unveil the links we seek with it. There is liable to be another system below DNA. The atom was once thought to be the smallest particle and people fought and died for this argument but then....... we open it up and all kinds of stuff came out. I'd like to live long enough to see this unfurl but like someone said we are just a spec on the timeline. We won't be around long enough for the answer. We might figure out the ray question in our time though.

Yes, but to a certain point!

The amount of geological evidence that an event like that would leave would be astronomical, and there would be scientists across the globe that would leap on an opportunity to study a global event like that would be mind-boggling. The fact is, there just is no such evidence to be found, or it would have easily been found by now.

Actually you should read up more on your "facts". We have found fossilized marine life on some of the highest peaks in the world. BTW a flood doesn't necessarily have to do with a deity. We are in global warming now, so I'm told and if all the icebergs melt ??? So you aren't really laying anything to rest.
