I'm game.
But before I start, understand ...OK. I'm game.<br /><br />But before I start, understand that educated and knowledgeable Christians accept evolution. <br /><br />1. You have not established this as a fact.<br /><br />2. Genesis 1 says that the earth and the waters, nonliving matter brought forth life. We know that life consists of matter. There is no elan vital. But this is an origin of life question, and not a question for evolutionary science, which deals with how and why life changes once it comes into existence.<br /><br />3. They are not "expected". Fossilisation is rare.<br /><br />4. The orthology of endogenous retroviruses in different species proves it.<br /><br />5. It's not "evolutionary teaching", but evolution can account for these. Try reading Franz de Waal, esp. "The Bonobo and the Atheist" for a good evolutionary account of morality.<br /><br />6. Why?<br /><br />7. They do not. Independent dating methods correlate very closely. This would not occur if any of them were faulty for different reasons.<br /><br />8. Lack of selection pressure. You really don't know this subject, do you?<br /><br />9. It wasn't an "explosion". Study the subject. How do bubbles and water droplets form into spheres? Hmm?<br /><br />10. I expect some people do, but it doesn't offer much of an advantage, and if it's not a heritable condition, it wouldn't be passed down.<br /><br />11. Evil is a theological concept, not an evolutionary one. We behave (as well as we do) because we survive by existing as a cooperative species.<br /><br />12. Not a question for evolution.<br /><br />13. We probably emerged from hermaphroditic species and then started to specialise. Look up "reproductive strategies". <br /><br />14. They haven't died out. <br /><br />17. They co-evolved.<br /><br />18. It appears to be the optimum age range for humans, in our biological niche. I've never heard of an anti-evolutionary account of this. Do you have one?<br /><br />19. It isn't.<br /><br />20. Spontaneous generation of variations, plus inheritance. Very much like biological evolution.Barry Desboroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330662530907568399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755183864641118702.post-73158359232655147972021-08-08T13:16:39.084+08:002021-08-08T13:16:39.084+08:00No point asking these questions tbh, these dumb ev...No point asking these questions tbh, these dumb evolutionists will just reject all of the evidence and still cling onto their blind faithOnethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448944615362263285noreply@blogger.com
