    How do you detect "design"?

    There are several examples (I can quote some if you like) where scientists have thought that they detected artificial structures and other evidence of design on the Moon and the planets. More detailed observations have shown that these phenomena are of non-biological origin, or that they were...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    This is incorrect. Protons (hydrogen nuclei) and neutrons were formed about one microsecond after the Big Bang, and deuterium, helium and lithium nuclei were formed about three minutes after the Big Bang. What happened 380,000 years after the BB is that the universe cooled enough for ions and...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    According to reports by the few people who have eaten them and survived, death cap mushrooms taste nice. All right, I know that mushrooms aren't fruit, or even plants, but a good taste is not a guarantee that a fungus is safe to eat.

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Someone saying that humans are apes is the same to me as someone telling me that weasels are carnivores or that pythons are snakes.

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Yes. Am I allowed to submit a photograph of a naked person for comparison with the ape?

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    Eratosthenes lived from about 276 BC to about 195 BC. Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) in about 331 BC.

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    First, we can be certain that every fossil had parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. back to the origin of life. Second, whether any fossil had offspring or not, for every fossil that has been preserved and discovered, there were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of individuals...

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Don't scientists, or at least physicians, use scientific methods to enable infertile couples or women who suffer from recurrent miscarriages to have healthy children? Do you approve or disapprove of such interference with nature? Who are 'they' in this context?

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    When did the first bat live? What chiropteran species did it belong to? What non-bat species did its parents belong to? When did the first gorilla live? What non-gorilla species did its parents belong to?

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    According to Origin of birds - Wikipedia , T.H. Huxley 'proposed an evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs' as early as 1868 and 1870, less than ten years after the discovery of the first Archaeopteryx. This is not a new idea plucked out of the air. Do you accept that living...

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    I am surprised that you were taught items 3 and 6 during your schooldays, in the 1990s and early 2000s. So far as I can remember, Haeckel's 'Principle of Recapitulation' was regarded as doubtful when I first started taking an interest in science, during the 1950s. Also by the 1990s it was clear...

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    Although evolutionary concepts have changed over the years, the essential components of the neo-Darwinian theory remain valid. Living things have changed over the last 3.8 billion years through a process of descent with modification driven by natural selection of small changes in their genomes...

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    If you knew the Bible you would have quoted Matthew 13: 31-32 about the amazing amount of 'information' in a tiny mustard seed.

    Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

    Most modern Englishmen (and modern Englishwomen) have Neanderthal genes.

    question for those who reject biological evolution

    This does not answer my question. I asked what things you were taught in school as facts about evolution that were eventually changed. I did not ask what your reasons are for rejecting evolution.
