We need to have DNA from these fossils so that the "indoctrinated" people who believe this nonsense have something besides their brainwashed belief to base it on.
There is no evidence of any creature ever changing into a new species with totally new morphology. No fish has ever become a land creature..Not ever. There is no empirical and absolute evidence for it.
There doesn't need to be a totally new morphology for natural selection to be true.
Quote:Natural Selection is a made up term to try and understand all of this, but it is not even a scientific principle because it has no way to be tested by the scientific method. It is not science, but a dogma of belief projected on what is observed. The idea of 'natural selection' is only as related to breeding of animals, but no animals have ever evolved into a totally new species.
The final premises of evodelusionism religion is that by some magic all creatures on the land were once marine life. There is no evidence that any marine life has ever "mutated" into a reptile. It is the most ridiculous idea that by some "reason" a fish would "need" to breath air, grow legs and step out of the water. By what reason would that happen? It is utterly illogical and is an abortion of logic and reason to think that any fish would "need" to walk on land by some fictitious fantasy of "evolutionary pressure".
The only results of evolutionary pressure in evidence is extinction or mass migration to find food. If the food supply is gone; extinction. If the flood comes and the creature can't eat, extinction. If the earth tilts and everything freezes; extinction. There is not 2 million years for a gradual transformation required for evolutionary pressure to function. This is according to the common beliefs of evodelusionsts. Evolution does not happen "overnight" but over millions of years. There is not millions of years to find food or to swim to a new warm climate in order to survive.
This is why the fossil record ONLY shows extinction not any form of transformation of any species.
The actual premises of evolution has nothing to do with "natural selection". It is the idea that creatures have magical ability to transform into totally new genus with new DNA base pair counts and a drastically changed number of chromosomes because of some fantasy "evolutionary pressure".
"Evolutionary pressure" is not even a scientific term. It is made up dogma to try and fill in the gaps of no evidence with faith and belief. This idea of evolutionary pressure has never been tested by any scientific method, yet it is accepted as "rational" dogma of this religion. Have you ever seen any scientific experiment or detailed study that proves this is even a scientific term? It isn't until it has some data to prove it to be true.
The only evidence we have is of a complete genealogy of the parent group (genus) of a line of species and adaptation to the environment. This is not the foundational definition of evolution, but normal adaptation to the environment and is only natural genetics.
And this idea that not being able to breed has some relationship showing evolution. This is not true, because as the environment changes the food changes, the creatures lose features and do not gain. Evolution specifically states that creatures get more complex, but they also become less complex as the environment changes and food becomes easier to eat and digest. And creatures can re-adapt to the old conditions as needed for survival. All there is in evidence is creatures adapt in order to survive as the same species.
There are no transitional fossils either. There are fossil remains of creatures that came into existence, remained much the same, then went extinct. This is what is in evidence. The ones that are still around have been here for over 50,000,000 years (by the screwed up dating methods) relatively unchanged and none have jumped genus as is the belief of evodelusionism.
Actually, that's not quite true; there are many species that have been observed to have mutated, and evolutionary theory doesn't require a genus jump.
Quote:
There are no creatures that have mutated and can breed and reproduce. "Mutants" do not make it. The term mutation is strictly referred to the disintegration of the chromosomes and has nothing to do with normal adaptations of a creature. (These jerks have changed the foundational meanings of scientific terms to match this religion. It is called side stepping to perpetuate belief.)
As people go from one generation to the next there are changes in the DNA of the offspring. They do not know if this is from ancient hereditary traits that are showing in the offspring, or from environment or from just the traits mixing of the parents, but it is not evidence of any mutation from the original chromosome count or from the parents species. It is just genealogy and nothing else.
There is no DNA in fossils, but there are a lot of brainwashed believers. This has been going on for centuries in science. I call it "the world is flat" syndrome. If you get enough believers then it becomes "real".
That's all very well, but, forgive me if this seems rude, it's not meant to be, your manner in this thread is quite the blanket 'I'm right, you're wrong' that you're accusing the advocates of evolution of being. I understand that you're often required to use a certain forcefulness over on youtube, but this is your own forum; you can temper your text and have two way discussions without the need for the proverbial caps lock. I only say this because I saw you on there and genuinely want to discuss the subject. If you only want trolls, I'll get me coat...
Quote:I am an expert on this subject. I can speak as an expert because I am. If you find that difficult to deal with, I am sorry for you. I have a lot to teach you on how to be a free thinker and not lay down for false ideas.
I teach people to think for themselves, because that ability has been taught out of most people by societal pressures to conform.
Over on youtube, anyone with brains is not allowed to show the facts on this subject. They are immediately attacked by your friends.
Nobody wants to admit that some form of science is actually a religion and it is extremely obvious to me that it is. Nobody wants to realize that they have been duped by societies indoctrination methods on children. If you listen to the videos that I present, I clearly show how indoctrination takes place. If you are not capable of seeing that you have been indoctrinated then that is your problem. I was able to avoid indoctrination and to remove any indoctrination by society by pure logic and reason and by the fact that my father told me point blank that people are full of agendas in all areas and when you have no evidence to back up your beliefs, then it is religion. His father was a fanatical fundamentalist who taught the bible with a stick beating. So, I was not raised with any religion.
What evidence do you have to show evolution as absolutely real, with NO opinions from anyone. I have asked at least 1000 people who believe in this nonsense and they never answer that question. Guess why? It is all based on opinions and nothing else.
Well, to be honest, this isn't really an argument; if you ask a thousand people how bread is made, I imagine few know an actual recipe.
Quote:This IS the argument! If you have no obvious and absolutely empirical nor absolute evidence of anything, then why are you a believer? All I have read in my 40 years almost 41 is opinions disguised as "scientific papers", and not any absolute evidence. Most of the evidence can easily be destroyed by pure logic and because all of the evidence can be explained by genetics and nothing else. Genetics disproves this idea of creatures coming from common ancestors that are not in the same genus.
I have read at least 200,000 of these papers, skimmed many of them looking for this evidence and there is none. There is a projection of belief on evidence, and nothing else. There is an "assumption in the mind of the follower of this religion" that this "must be real", "has to be real because so many experts and people with credentials have told me so" and that is at the basic foundation of this Religion.
Well, I think you can see that I tend to disagree with you about its validity, but we'll get to that in due course, and perhaps one will convince the other
I do, however, seriously dispute calling a religion or even a cult. You have to remember that most people don't care (which is unfortunate, obviously) so they have vague assumptions about how the world works. This is true of almost any doctrine you can think of; people have what they consider more pressing needs, ie they don't care. Whether they've had a state funded education and been taught evolutionary theory or not.
Quote:I am different. I never believe anyone who tells me anything and take it as if it was real. My father taught me that. I look at the evidence with out the BS of indoctrination having any affect on my mind.
That's all very well then. Let's discuss something that evolutionary proponents fundamentally believe. Something specific.
Quote:Whenever there is "evidence" that can be seen and logically tested in many ways, they never test it by anything but "evodelusionism". That is fraud. Most of those ways to test this "evidence" is not even an indication of or "proof". It destroys it as "for evolution" or "neutralizes" it as proof of anything.
I'm not quite sure what you mean here, you'll need to give examples.
NB. I don't really want to read a host of links though, I'd rather discuss the points you're making.
Quote:They really have no understanding of this evidence, but they always say it "suggests evolution". When it actually suggest many other concepts that have no connection to this theory of evolution.
Are you proposing an alternative? Perhaps you could articulate it in a thread.
Quote:If you would like to discuss this in detail and bring forth your evidence, I would love to see it. You can post up to 6000 characters, and if you need more, I can change to forum to accept it.
I would very much like to discuss it in detail, however, you are the OP, you have to state the details to be discussed or at least which part of your OP you'd like to get into first
I want you to show me what evidence you find so compelling that you would believe in this belief system?
I am patient and have read, most all of the papers on this.
If you want to find out the truth that I know then ask.
I am prepared to answer any scientist and explain in detail the truth of any "idea" in this belief system.
