Darwinism

[dry land fish]

Hello again Chatpilot, (and the rest of y'all) As stated in the bible thread I would love to defend my Bible and I would like to hear your defenses for Darwinism.

Here is my question-- In the earth's crust are many layers of strata,the lowest level of strata that scientists have found with fossil remains is the Cambrian Strata. The fossil remains in this strata compare to todays animals. If evolution is genuine-where are their ancestors???-

Here is Charles Darwins answer to my question-- [to the question why we do not find rich fossilferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian System I can give no satisfactory answer..the case at present must remain inexplicable;and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained] Origin of the Species Pg.39

Since Charles Darwin cannot defend Darwinism and evolution I'd like to hear what you have to say about it. Icthus

Those are their ancestors. That is why they are similar. NO animals are found in Cambrian strata that compare enough to the animals today to even suggest evolution didn't happen. They are similar because they are ancestors...they are not extremely alike. Darwin started the ball rolling on evolution. He was one of the first scientists to suggest that animals could have Evolved publicly. He was not 100% accurate on all of his research. He just opened the door for other scientists to take what he discovered and actually work with it to find out what we know today. Science is a changing field of study because our technology changes so rapidly and you can't expect a scientist from the 1800's to be accurate according to research today.

Science is not the Bible. We don't just write one book and make it law. We write what we know today...and maybe we can change it tomorrow if we learn something new. We aren't about trying to tell a story and stick with it no matter how retarded it sounds 100 years later.

Does evolution happen? YES. Is Charles Darwin important to science today? YES. He was wonderful and brilliant and yes I display a Darwin fish on my car. He is one of my favorite scientists because he made such a contribution to Geology.
