How did whales get here? Well , they walked on land for a bit , and decided to back in the water to live. I mean what the hell.
I swim in water all the time , i scuba dive all the time , i LOVE swimming in water. I swim 3 or 4 times a week. Guess what? Still havent turned into a fish. My diving instructor still hasnt turned into a fish , his children arent fish , he just had a kid 2 weeks ago , guess what , he isnt a fish and doesnt have any problems.
Hmm , so how the hell do i evolutionize to turn into a whale or survive permanently in the water? Damn.
I really hope youre being ironic but something tells me youre not.
Please tell me you're not a teacher, you know, someone who schools people less knowledgeable than themselves.
In anything at all, ever.
Just because you can't understand science and have to drag it down to a level I'd be ashamed of my 6 year old doing, doesn't mean others don't.
Oh, it's EVOLVE not evolutionize.
And whales aren't fish.

No.... I think your just tailoring the facts to your argument. There are certainly dogma's within science. Like: nothing can go faster than the speed of light. The universe was created by the big bang.
Are these not just replacements for religious dogma's? Would there not be equal amount of upheaval about discrediting these than there was when it was announce the earth wasn't the center of the universe?
Religious dogma has ZERO objective evidence behind it, while scientific theories do...they are not "theories" like we use in slang. They are based on scientific method.
....Yeah..... Until they are proven just as silly as religious dogmas. Scientists also believed the world was flat just not crazy religious folk.
My point is we should be as skeptical of "scientific" claims as any other. Almost all of our great scientific theories by people like Newton, Eistein, etc. are almost daily being proven untrue, or not complete....

I was being Ironic in my own sense ; Evolution is the dumbest thing ever invented however. It makes no sense what so ever. Adaptation however does , which is not Evolution , but simply adapting to your environment. Such as being Short and Stocky , Hairy , Less Hairy , becoming more Tall , things of this Nature. Not , i am a Huge tyrannosaurus , and now i am a Bird that eats off your bird feeder.
Evolution is a religion for some Scientist , and that is about it. There is very little science fact with Evolution.
By the way, i invented Evolutionize, Evolution evolved into " Evolutionize" i like it. Enjoy it.edit on 19-6-2012 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

If you want to put those two in separate boxes to keep them straight thats up to you. I'd say a more intellectual argument would be able to combine the two.
Why couldn't God have created DNA? Why couldn't evolution have been guided by God?
These questions are valid. And separating religion and science does both a disservice. And doesn't let BOTH live up to their true potential.

I'm a very religious person and could care less if evolution is true or not. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
Evolution doesn't disprove religion, I have no need to fight against it....
The Bible says God created the Universe and Life. Thats it. Not how, why or when.

The Bible and science aren't in conflict in the slightest

Thats just something you read out of a elementary school book.... You have absolutely no idea what the pressures on the scientific community were during the time.

Now this I agree with....well mostly.. but why are you attacking evolution if you don't care if its true? Why not just acknowledge it as science while still believing in god / the bible? I have no problem with this at all. What I DO have a problem with is people perpetuating lies and constantly attacking science to try to prove their religion or disprove evolution.

Science changes as new information is discovered. That doesn't mean all of it gets thrown in the garbage if one minor detail of the theory is updated. Everyone should be skeptical. Skepticism is what leads to new scientists joining the field and trying new experiments to try to prove something. However, without actually studying science and doing experiments, you can't possibly say you are qualified to call evolution faulty science, simply because you "hate" it. It's absurd and based on nothing but pure emotion. Otherwise you'd be attacking other theories like gravity and relativity. But alas, it's all about evolution because you have an emotional connection to literal versions of ancient stories.

Evolution is just a bad idea.
It’s been passed off as fact, claims to be scientific, and is offer as natural explanation for creation without the need for a supernatural God.
However when you dig into it you find that Evolution and creation actually have more in common than most people think. Creation has a supernatural God, but Evolution has a few supernatural events that have to take place, plus it doesn’t follow the scientific method. If Evolution truly followed the scientific method it would be bad hypothesis and not a theory. The only reason it’s a theory is the alternative is undesirable to most people.
Below are some examples of supernatural events in evolution….
1st the cause for the big-bang, it can’t be explained, but the going theory is our universe was created by an unexplainable event outside our universe, maybe something like another universes colliding… This concept that a universe outside our own was the cause of our universe is the same idea that creationist has, we just say the other universe is called heaven and God hangs out there. The big bang is almost the same idea you all just removed God out and call whatever happened that cause the big bang some accident.
2nd supernatural event was atoms began to forum a few nanoseconds after the big-bang…. So basically the law of conservation of mass is violated, (matter and energy can’t be distorted or created) was violated. Here matter, energy, and space/time is all being created, so evolution can violate basic physics laws when help the theory out, I guess.
3rd supernatural event, life created itself.
So above is few supernatural event, yet evolution is all scientific. Evolution is not a theory, it’s a hypothesis pasted off as theory as solid as gravity, and yet doesn’t even follow the scientific method. The scientific method in a nut shell…
