Evolution

Does evolution occur and if so, how many family trees are there?

There are at least six different and unrelated  meanings to the word "evolution" as used in science textbooks.

1. Cosmic evolution-  the origin of time, space and matter. Big Bang.
2. Chemical evolution-  the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.
3. Stellar and  planetary evolution- Origin of stars and planets.
4. Organic evolution-  Origin of life from inanimate matter.
5. Macroevolution-  Origin of major kinds.
6. Microevolution  Variations within kinds- Only this one has been observed, the first  five are religious. They are believed, by faith, even though there is  no empirical evidence to prove them in any way. While I admire the  great faith of the evolutionists who accept the first five I object to  having this religious propaganda included in with legitimate science at  taxpayer's expense.

Even  a quick review of a typical public school textbook will show that  students are being deceived into thinking all six types of evolution  above have been proven because evidence is given for minor variations  called micro-evolution. The first five are smuggled in when no one is  watching.

This deception is  a classic case of bait and switch. One definition of evolution (such as  "descent with modification") is given and the others are assumed to be  true by association. The first five meanings are believed by faith,  have never been observed and are religious. Only the last one is  scientific. It is also what the Bible predicted would happen. The  animals and plants would bring forth "after their kind" in Genesis 1.

 

If you were to design several different types of creatures on a computer program you might end up having an artistic signature in your work. Perhaps you would find eyes and arms and more to be functionally useful and aesthetically pleasing and end up using eyes and arms on several original designs from a start. Should we look at eating utensils or limbs of living creatures and assume any similarity between either of the two groups would automatically be the result of common ancestry? Who shares common ancestry with who if similarity among creatures on even a genetic level can be seen as evidence for both common ancestry and a common designer? What does the fossil record say?

 

"'In most people's minds, fossils and Evolution go hand in hand. In reality, fossils are a great embarrassment to Evolutionary theory and offer strong support for the concept of Creation. If Evolution were true, we should find literally millions of fossils that show how one kind of life slowly and gradually changed to another kind of life. But missing links are the trade secret, in a sense, of palaeontology. The point is, the links are still missing. What we really find are gaps that sharpen up the boundaries between kinds. It's those gaps which provide us with the evidence of Creation of separate kinds. As a matter of fact, there are gaps between each of the major kinds of plants and animals. Transition forms are missing by the millions. What we do find are separate and complex kinds, pointing to Creation.' (Dr Gary Parker Biologist/palaeontologist and former ardent Evolutionist.)"

 

"Modern apes ... seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday,
no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans ... is, if we are to be
honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter."
(Lyall
Watson, Ph.D., Evolutionist)

 

"A growing number of respectable scientists are defecting from the
evolutionist camp ... moreover, for the most part these 'experts' have abandoned
Darwinism, not on the basis of religious faith or biblical persuasions, but on
scientific grounds, and in some instances, regretfully."
(Wolfgang
Smith, Ph.D., physicist and mathematician)

 

"The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the
use of rocks to date fossils and fossils to date rocks. The geologist has never
bothered to think of a good reply."
(J.O'Rourke in the American
Journal of Science)

 

"It cannot be denied that from a strictly philosophical standpoint,
geologists are here arguing in a circle. The succession of organisms has been
determined by the study of their remains imbedded in the rocks, and the relative
ages of the rocks are determined by the remains of the organisms they
contain."
(R H Rastall, Lecturer in Economic Geology, Cambridge
University: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol.10 (Chicago: William Benton,
Publisher, 1956, p.168)

 

"That a mindless, purposeless, chance process such as natural selection,
acting on the sequels of recombinant DNA or random mutation, most of which are
injurious or fatal, could fabricate such complexity and organisation as the
vertebrate eye, where each component part must carry out its own distinctive
task in a harmoniously functioning optical unit, is inconceivable. The absence
of transitional forms between the invertebrates retina and that of the
vertebrates poses another difficulty. Here there is a great gulf fixed which
remains inviolate with no seeming likelihood of ever being bridged. The total
picture speaks of intelligent creative design of an infinitely high order."
(H.S.Hamilton (MD) The Retina of the Eye - An Evolutionary Road
Block.)

 

"Micromutations do occur, but the theory that these alone can account for
evolutionary change is either falsified, or else it is an unfalsifiable, hence
metaphysical theory. I suppose that nobody will deny that it is a great
misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes addicted to a false theory.
But this is what has happened in biology: ... I believe that one day the
Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science.
When this happens many people will pose the question: How did this ever
happen?"
(S Lovtrup, Darwinism: The Refutation of a Myth
(London:Croom Helm, p.422))

How many believe in universal common descent on earth in the 21st century? But what actually suggests a big bang occured and earth cooled down and formed a hard rocky crust before being rained on and bringing forth life from amino acids? What actually suggests that dogs and roses share common ancestry?

"4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high
mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of
time.

4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee,
and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I
give it."

"2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his anointed, saying,

2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us."

"18:7 And shall not YHWH avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

"4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears;

4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto
fables."

"3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of YHWH the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of wicked men.

3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with YHWH as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

"6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to
thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science
falsely so called:

6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the
faith. Favour be with thee. . ."

"3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with YHWH. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

3:20 And again, YHWH knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."

Jacob, great post!

 

I've said for a few years now...it's pretty funny how we Christians are so often accused of following blind faith- yet the legions among the humanistic, atheistic/agnostic have to really take one giant leap of logic to accept a shoddy, insulting theory which cannot be observed by themselves.

[Sinclair]

Nice job, Jacob. Not only is atheism a blind faith religion, but its adherents actually evangelise quite enthusiastically. In fact, I think they do more preaching than we do.

I have a few friends that are atheist. They are very condescending about their religion. It is almost as if they are afraid of any alternative

Vast ocean lays under Earth mantle, may be wellspring for world’s oceans

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up.” Genesis 7:11

June 2014 – GEOLOGY – A reservoir of water lying deep under the Earth’s surface may contain triple the volume of every one the world’s oceans and may even be the “wellspring” source of them, U.S. researchers say. Although not in a liquid form most familiar to all of us — it is instead bound within rocks deep in the Earth’s mantle — it likely represents the largest reservoir of water on Earth, scientists at the University of New Mexico and Northwestern University say. Writing in the journal Science, they report finding pockets of melted magma 400 miles underneath the North American continent that are likely signatures that water exists at those depths. Scientists have long questioned whether the mantle, the rocky, hot layer between the Earth’s crust and its core, might contain water bound up and trapped within rare minerals. The new discovery is evidence water can be transported from the surface of the Earth to great depth by plate tectonics, the movement of continents and plates over the Earth’s surface. “Geological processes on the Earth’s surface, such as earthquakes or erupting volcanoes, are an expression of what is going on inside the Earth, out of our sight,” says geophysicist and study co-author Steve Jacobsen at Northwestern. “I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet.” Movement and partial melting of rocks in the mantle’s transition zone — a region between the mantle’s lower and upper layers from around 250 to 400 miles deep — could allow water to become tightly bound to the minerals there, the researchers said..."

"Body Cells Transfer Genetic Info Directly Into Sperm Cells, Amazing Study Finds

A revolutionary new study reveals that the core tenet of classical genetics is patently false, and by implication: what we do in this life — our diet, our mindset, our chemical exposures — can directly impact the DNA and health of future generations.

A paradigm shifting new study titled, “Soma-to-Germline Transmission of RNA in Mice Xenografted with Human Tumour Cells: Possible Transport by Exosomes,” promises to overturn several core tenets of classical genetics, including collapsing the timescale necessary for the transfer of genetic information through the germline of a species (e.g. sperm) from hundreds of thousands of years to what amounts to ‘real time’ changes in biological systems.

In classical genetics, Mendelian laws specify that the inheritance of traits passed from one generation to the next can only occur through sexual reproduction as information is passed down through the chromosomes of a species’ germline cells (egg and sperm), and never through somatic (bodily) cells.  Genetic change, according to this deeply entrenched view, can take hundreds, thousands and even millions of generations to manifest.

The new study, however, has uncovered a novel mechanism through which somatic-to-germline transmission of genetic information is made possible.  Mice grafted with human melanoma tumor cells genetically manipulated to express genes for a fluorescent tracer enzyme (EGFP-encoding plasmid) were found to release information-containing molecules containing the EGFP tracer into the animals’ blood; since EGFP is a non-human and non-murine expressed tracer, there was little doubt that the observed phenomenon was real. These EGFP trackable molecules included exosomes (small nanoparticles produced by all eukaryotic cells (including plants and animals), which contain RNA and DNA molecules), which were verified to deliver RNAs to mature sperm cells (spermatozoa) and remain stored there.  The authors of the study pointed out that RNA of this kind has been found in mouse models to behave as a “transgenerational determinant of inheritable epigenetic variations and that spermatozoal RNA can carry and deliver information that cause phenotypic variations in the progeny.”

The researchers concluded that their study’s findings strongly suggest, “exosomes are the carriers of a flow of information from somatic cells to gametes,” and that their “results indicate that somatic RNA is transferred to sperm cells, which can therefore act as the final recipients of somatic cell-derived information.”
