Argument #1: Transitional Fossils

[Mister Agenda]

Again, it almost sounds like "evolution" is like a football coach on the sidelines watching and deciding a different direction for the offense based on how the defense is adjusting.

Again, it almost sounds like you are unable to come to terms with the limitations of plain English on this topic. Do you go on about who someone is talking about when they say it looks like it's going to rain and grill them on why 'it' 'decided' to rain?

When and why did evolution decide to go from unicellular to multicellular?

Evolution isn't an entity, it is a process. It didn't decide anything. Multicellular organisms first appeared about a billion years ago, since your Google finger must be broken.

Does evolution have a will or reason?

No, it doesn't. And I refuse to believe you are too stupid to grasp this, which leaves only mendacity as an explanation for the question. Rule of thumb: the mendacious side of an argument is most probably the wrong one.

How does evolution get into "a rut?"

By having a slower-than-average rate of change.

Does gravity get into a rut?

From one perspective, gravity is nothing BUT ruts.

Evolution has "oomph?"

Sometimes the rate of change is faster than at other times, such as when there are large swathes of new ecological niches to colonize.

Did it gulp down a 5 millennium energy drink?

What do you think being childish does for your case?

When did evolution decided to have an explosion of new species?

Never. The rapidity of speciation increases when a large number of new niches become available for colonization, whether through occupying the gaps left by a mass extinction or a game-changing adaptation (like eyes). There's no more volition involved than water takes in flooding a plain.

I am not trying to argue old earth vs. new earth. Most people on this board do not believe in God, I do. I am here to present God, many on here feel I am doing a terrible job at it.

How is evolution relevant? Millions of people accept both evolution and God, so clearly accepting evolution is no barrier to believing in God. I suspect creationists do more to convince people that they can't accept both evolution and God than do atheists.

So I got some work to do. I feel like I am learning a lot of lessons and things on this board and am humbled to be here. I am very grateful for this opportunity.

That's a good attitude. The least you should get out of this exchange is sharper arguments.

Very clever. I'll tell you one thing, if apes can reason they know who their Creator is.

Then why can't you demonstrate a line of reasoning that doesn't contain a logical fallacy that leads to the God conclusion?

This saddens me. However, I have to give you credit and that you appeared to went into it with an open mind. kudos. I have hope for you though and what a day it will be if you get saved.

I think most of us read it that way. Life is too short to read lengthy books just to find things to pick at. Probably why I've never gotten far into the Qu'ran or Book of Mormon, now that I'm no longer a believer, I'm just not motivated enough.
