Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth
RE: Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth

Yep, I knew you were leading us off the deep end when I first read this. All creationists make this mistake, even after atheists explain it to them again and again and again.

EVOLUTION IS NOT ACCIDENTAL. Every biological step in the evolutionary chain is built upon the previous. We know that evolution is true by examining transitional fossils. Listen to this:

And then there's the direct evidence for evolution, in all its sprawling grandeur. We know evolution is true from genetic studies which show that all species share deep similarities at the genetic level. In fact, by charting which species' genomes share the same one-off mutations, we can build evolutionary trees which show the patterns of relationship between species and allow us to estimate when they branched from each other. This nested hierarchy, the pattern produced by descent with modification, binds all living and extinct species together in an unbreakable web of heredity and kinship, every bit as real as the one that connects you to your ancestors and your living relatives.

If evolutionary science were false, then there would be no vaccines today. Vaccines and all medical science is derived from evolutionary science. Evolutionary science says that all organisms start off as a smaller life form, and with time grow into a larger, more complex life form. That is precisely the model that scientists use when developing vaccines that kill viruses and pathogens before they can evolve into larger life forms and possibly kill the victim.

As for the Genesis creation account, that was not written by (a) God. It was written by mortal men who knew nothing about the process of creation and believed the world was flat. It is not based on anything scientific; in fact, for all we know, the writers of the Holy Bible were making all of that up. The Holy Bible is not based on actual observations that anyone made. Genesis claims that God created the heavens, the earth, and the universe. How did the writers know? They did not witness this. They were born after God supposedly created everything. In contrast to evolution (a proven fact) you are saying God jumped out of nowhere and POOF! it all appeared. There are no science or facts behind that (creation science is an oxymoron). You are also making the A Priori Fallacy, in which you start with the conclusion and cherry pick the facts to support your preconceived conclusion. In science, it is called the God of the Gaps fallacy, in which you say "science can't explain this and this, therefore god did it". All the creationists do is say "this all looks like creation, therefore it had to have a creator".

Evolution theory has long since been disproven by the gaps in the fossils record. Not one single bone has ever been found that connects one creature with something entirely different. That's why the proevolution scientists frequently lament the "gaps" in the fossils record.

No, no single certified scientist has ever found evidence against evolution. The quote above shows that you are either making that up, or you don't understand anything about evolution. There are no gaps at all in fossil records. When analyzing the transitional fossils, you will see that different species of animals all share similar genomes, and with those genomes you can build family trees to map out exactly where each species of bird, fish, and other species branched off into different sub sets. Therapsids are the intermediate species between reptiles and mammals; The human-like Homo Hominids are the evolved forms of Homo Sapiens.

You are catering to the biblical ideologies, which reject all concrete evidence that disproves your doctrinaire bible's teachings.
