It sounds very nice and harmonious what you say but I don't disbelieve in evolution because of religious faith I disbelieve in it because of the complete and total lack of empirical evidence to support it.Originally Posted by Sharla
Regardless of wheter or not I believed in God I would still not believe in macro evolution as an explanation for explaining how life came to be simply because it is bad science, in fact it is not science at all.
There are so many mistruths and blatent lies regarding evolution that are put on there in the media on a daily basis.
We are always told that the fossil record is reliable evidence for evolution.........it is not.
We are told that we share a common ancestor with apes and have all seen the charts and diagrams showing a simple mokey or pgymy shrew on the extreme left side of the chart, with apes gradually getting bigger, more upright and less hairy as they go along until it culminates with man at the extreme right.
This chart is ficticious, none of the links in between have been found, yet we are led to believe that Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalis, Australapithicene Africanas and Aferinis etc are all genuine missing links when in fact they are all either entirely human, (homo erectus) or entirely ape (Australapithicenes).
Molecular biology has all but disproven evolution as we now know that any change in an organism has to occur at the cellular level, in an organisms DNA. For even the simplest instruction thousands of lines of DNA instruction are needed and without this information nothing can happen to an organism. For new changes to occur in an organism new information has to be added and this simply cannot happen.
A dog will never grow wings for example as it's DNA does not contain the information to build them and there is no way and random genetic mutation has been proven time and again to only damage an organism not enhance it.
Imagine if Microsoft announced their new version of Windows would be created by giving a team of three year olds access to the current code to have a play for 5 years and then we'll see enhancements what their random button presses bring in terms of new features? Sound insane? Then why believe that the far more complex genetic code can be created and improved upon in this way?
A molecular biologist by the name of Michael Behe wrote a very interesting book called Darwins Black Box which should be mainstream reading in every school. A highly qualified scientist, an expert in the field of molecualr biology his book is a damning indictment of current evolutionary theory.
What makes his case all the more compelling is that he's not a Christian and had no religious axe to grind. Unfortunately as you can imagine, the Christian Right were all too happy to make liberal use of his work and so he got ostracized from mainstream science as a result.
His book is an excellent primer though for how evolution fails at the molecular level, the most basic level of all.
Don't always assume that becuase someone disbelieves in evolution that they are operating in blind faith and against reason. I came to my conclusions only after literally years of immersing myself in the literature.
