Show us how the fossil record is explained by biblical creation if it fits so fine.Darwin's theory is the model all the finds are plugged into. Put the same find into a creation model and it fits fine.
I am related to John Hart. You probably do not even know who that is. According to science he is an ape and I am an ape and you are an ape. We might be related. Though I hope not.Go get some DNA from an ape and send it to ancestor.com then. See if it's related to George Washington.
Explain "presupposed." The ToE is evidenced and tested. It's predictive, observable, reproducible and utilitarianLol, it's still full of assumptions.
The basic principle, evolution, is taken for granted. F.M. Wuketits, an evolution theorist, writes:“We pre-suppose the essential correctness of biological evolution, yes, we assume that evolution is universally valid.”
Why is it absurd? What does he know of what life is based on?Ernest Kahane:... “It is absurd and absolutely preposterous to believe that a living cell could come into existence by itself; but, notwithstanding, I do believe it, because I cannot imagine anything else.”
Yet there are thousands of such experiments and observations. Did you think biologists just pulled evolution out of their hats?If there were only one single example (experiment or observation) of the origin of a new kind of organism or a new structure, then this would have been a derived theory. The mechanisms, mutation and selection, do occur, and the appearance of a new kind would imply new genetic information.
See above. "New genetic information" happens all the time. The evidence is there for anyone to see.Because of the lack of any evidence of new genetic information, it remains an assumption.
Ancestor.com would see the relationship clearly, but the relationship would be too distant to be of interest to their clients.Go get some DNA from an ape and send it to ancestor.com then. See if it's related to George Washington.
Evolution.....it evolvesDisclaimer: I could myself be considered a kind of creationist, so I'm not here to rag on them!
But what is with this mostly Christian obsession (although I have seen it in the Muslim world too) with the theory of evolution? Aren't there better things to wrangle about? Healthier things to focus on?
The basic principle, evolution, is taken for granted. F.M. Wuketits, an evolution theorist, writes:“We pre-suppose the essential correctness of biological evolution, yes, we assume that evolution is universally valid.”
Another assumption: One should not drag in a creator (or synonyms such as designer, planning spirit, or “demiurge”). Ernest Kahane, a French molecular biologist, formulates it as follows: “It is absurd and absolutely preposterous to believe that a living cell could come into existence by itself; but, notwithstanding, I do believe it, because I cannot imagine anything else.”
Mutation and selection are the driving forces of evolution” (K. Lorenz).
If there were only one single example (experiment or observation) of the origin of a new kind of organism or a new structure, then this would have been a derived theory. The mechanisms, mutation and selection, do occur, and the appearance of a new kind would imply new genetic information. Because of the lack of any evidence of new genetic information, it remains an assumption.
Why? Why can't I rip it apart with my teeth? According to evolution I'm a mammal and a predator.LOL! Canines are mammals. Humans are mammals. We share DNA sequences to a point.
But even a biological relationship does not mean that we cannot have the relationship we have with dogs.
Just because we all evolved doesn't mean you can't have a puppy. You just have to treat it nice.

According to evolution I'm a mammal and a predator.
Because it followed another branch?Which doesn't change the fact that your claim ("It means a dog is my ancestor.") was simply false.
Why? It's simply survival of the fittest.It might put up a fight.
And...? You do realise how silly all this makes you look, yes?
If we came from animals, they all have to be back in our past somewhere.
I can but it would require a lot of typing.Show us how the fossil record is explained by biblical creation if it fits so fine.

I see you have no helpful answers. In fact all you have are insults.How do you think making a fool of yourself in public by criticising something you have no understanding of is helping?
I tried to keep it on topic but I failed hard. Sorry, but sometimes there is nothing you can do.
I made this thread.
I see you have no helpful answers.
So you no longer have serious responses to the posts. As I see it, your claims were left unsupported. Questions to you left unanswered. And your arguments fell apart about as can be expected considering how fatally flawed and dusty they were to start.Why? Why can't I rip it apart with my teeth? According to evolution I'm a mammal and a predator.
Simply saying you are incapable of supporting your claims would have been sufficient.I can but it would require a lot of typing.
That is rich coming from you.I see you have no helpful answers. In fact all you have are insults.
