Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)

[Justtristo]

Haha, yet you fail to be specific. Nicely done. I think the reason you don't debate Creationists is because you'd get your butt kicked. They don't allow you to just make assertions (like you did here) in debates.

You say you read Scientific sources, yet you have not cited one, and you say I just make things up, yet I cite more sources than anyone else on here. Classic!

I will cheerfully admit I don't have scientific education beyond a high school level. However I have read enough to understand things such as genetics, geology and biology to a degree, I can accept evolution by natural selection as a fact.

In fact I will ask you a question, why do we share the same mutation which shuts off the ability to artificially produce vitamin c in our bodies as a lot of primates.

Okay you want sources, here are a couple aims more towards the interested layman to start off with.

Genes, Peoples, and Languages by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza and The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey by Spencer Wells[/i]. Those two men are among the most eminent population geneticists.

Huh? So you are agreeing with me? Amoebas in the fossil record are morphologically almost identical to amoebas today, so they have not been "evolving" much at all. A bacterium that was collected in the 19th century is still identifiable today, despite there being thousands of generations separating the two. So since amoebas that are supposedly nearly a billion years old also have over 3 billion bits of genetic information in their cells, where did all this information come from?

I am very familiar with lifeforms evolving very little over vast periods of time, they are called living fossils such as the Coelacanth is a most famous example. Also likewise evolution can occur a relatively rapid period, it is called a Punctuated equilibrium. However there is no doubt amoebas are more complex than the first lifeforms on Earth were and 2 billion years is plenty of time for the ameobas to evolve the 3 billion bits of genetic information.
