So, what's your theory? There seems to be an influx of creationists that believe in evolution, without being able to see the contradictions that makes. It all comes down to the fact that they will only look more stupid if they deny that evolution exists, so they find some way to work it into their beliefs.


"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion."

If you're going to make an argument back it up ^_^ I see no examples of how they contradict each other ^_^

From Genesis: And god said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness : and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth"

Evolution is the theory that small, random mutations in the genes take place upon reproduction. Natural Selection weeds out the weak, and progressively a better species comes along.
Intelligent Design is the theory that some organisms are designed / created by a being of higher intelligence than that of the human.

Completely contradictory. You can't say that something spawned from a random mutation in a gene and then say that someone designed that being.
The bible says God designed us in his image.
Evolution says we are the result of billions of years of RANDOM mutations.

God influenced said evolution and there for we came out in his image. Evolution was not random at all. It occurred because the weak were killed off and the strong (who had evolved through w/e means) did not. Natural selection isn't random by nature.

Evolution is random. 99% of all the species that have ever walked this earth are extinct. This is because evolution randomly mutates a gene, and when you randomly mutate something there is a higher chance that it will do more damage than it does good. You believe that there is a creator out there guiding evolution into the horrible painful death of millions of species?

evolution says nothing about weak or strong
only fit and unfit ( "FIT " as in a piece fits a jigsaw puzzle )
"random " events , such as natural diasters , open the way for new species more often then not
mammels inherited the earth from the dinosaurs , not becuase they were stronger , but becuase a comet affected the earths atmosphere for a period long enough , that all of a sudden , mammels " fitted " their enviroment better , for just long enough
remember , there hasnt been a new body plan in over 580 million years

This is not on topic and I disagree with what I have bolded. Natural disasters don't have anything to do with natural selection in my opinion, although we have evolved to the point where we can actually prevent natural disasters from happening. One example of this is we are working on deflecting or pulling away the asteroid that is going to hit us in 30 odd years.

Superb grammatical skills are not required to convey a point.
