If evoluton were observable, at least in terms of what exactly was causing the changes, it would put an end to the whole question idea dead on, instead people have automatically accepted the fact that there are changes, so it must just be evolution, when in fact those changes all happen for a scientific, verifiable reason, which will all be verfied and accounted for, one day.
Toothy, look up Richard Lenski at the University of Wisconsin and check out the extremely well-done experiment he and his students did with E. coli. IMO it's one of the best-designed and executed experiments ever done.
If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.

I didn't think I would have to go to the extent of having to explain this, but it looks like I will have to no doubt.
A theory is only as good as its weakest link. Everything I have been directed to as far as links has turned out to be written as though the subject was a hypothesis. There seems to be a lot of guess work and about 2% fact.
Intervention is backed up with historical documents, which is not the case with evolutionism.
You never even gave a solid reason or proof to discredit the written documents, just that you do. Supernatural events are not testable to scientific standards so this garbage about it being debunked isn't even possible, of course it can't be proved either, except that we have documentation stating that its so.
I have presented all the facts that support intervention,
target food
Pye's DNA findings
to it being written in the bible
I haven't dismissed interventionism. What I HAVE dismissed, is your pitiful anti-evolution argument, that you STILL haven't backed up with any facts at all yet. You haven't even referred to the evidence once. You just pretend it's not there.
Now I don't know how you can dismiss so many other things that tell you beyond a doubt that your wrong, but you are.
In which instance?
You still haven't countered my evidence, you are still playing word games. Address the actual evidence. Prove me wrong.
True, but there are no books that claim to have observed a species evolving into another species.
The Origin of Species is a scientific book based on facts, which is not the case with interventionismism. You never even gave a solid reason or proof to discredit the weblinks I posted, just that you do
The problem with that statement is that science doesn't know everything, and theorys have been proven wrong as well. The best thing to do is to accept the past for what it is, and learn from it. When we decide to not learn from the past, like your choosing, your never going to learn anything.
A bunch of ancient scrolls found in a cave don't constitute as historical documents, and they aren't the same as scientific experimentation.
Well I couldn't possibly repeat it all in this box, it was mountains of information. But some things to remember was the ezekiel chapter showing god coming down in a space ship. Confirmed understanding by the bible also claiming that earth is not our home, in hebrews chapter. Hebrews also eludes that we are of an intelligent design. As well as the bible talking about aliens and other planets.
WHERE?
Target food was the best term I could come up with for identifying an observed process. Hey someone had to make up evolution at some point.
That you made up on the spot.
Well Pye is not a scientist, he has all of this taught to him by a scientist that works with DNA.
That have never been verified in a lab or presented to any scientist
Well I don't know of anything else that flys around in space crafts . The actuall word aliens is actually in the bible.
The bible doesn't mention aliens. It's difficult to interpret or even know for sure who wrote the stories and whether or not they happened literally as described. Believing intervention is merely one interpretation but it's so ancient and has been translated over many times. None of the events can be verified, so you can't use it as evidence. It's not objective. I don't know why that is complicated to understand. Objective evidence is tangible, testable, and the tests can be repeated over and over with the same results. That why we understand genetic mutations now, and also why we have observed natural selection in action.
The Bible has a great deal to say about Alien Visitors. It speaks of their existence in many places, and specifically mentions their alliance with Satan. It is my intention to clarify some of these scriptures so that this up and coming deception will be forewarned. Scripture clearly identified this grand deception long ago. I am simply highlighting those ancient prophesies.
I have not been able to read every word of every link that everyone sent me too. One of the absurd sides of evolution is to force mountains of theory upon somone to try to give it more credibility. But even in those cases I'm usually finding where it's clear that it's just a hypothesis, or that the important parts have been assumed. Like assuming a species will evolve based on changes. There is simply no proof, its specuation.
I haven't dismissed interventionism. What I HAVE dismissed, is your pitiful anti-evolution argument, that you STILL haven't backed up with any facts at all yet. You haven't even referred to the evidence once. You just pretend it's not there.
You don't even know. I do lean toward alien visitation in the past, believe it or not, but it hasn't been proven and again, it's one interpretation of the statues and writings of the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians and other old cultures. It's a belief, just like creationism. It's not a science. Evolution is, and my argument stands until you can address the evidence and explain the methods behind your madness

Well I found the wiki on him...
lenski wiki
One of the things I have to point out is how is claiming that repeatable changes in seperate populations occured in his testing, which is a clear indication to me that the subjects are being exposed to something they didn't know about. Of course it could be anything, as in the case of ADHD that I keep pointing to.
The bacteria never changed into another organisim but an assumption was made that because some changes were found, it was on its way to eventually become something else, not E Coli bacteria.
There has never been any proof that a species evolves into another species, but an assumption is always made that because there are changes found, that its on its way to doing so. It is perhaps the biggest load of crap when it comes to evolution. Changes don't prove macroevolution, but is sure is assumed.
Just like in the example of the kodiac bear mating with the polar bear, and creating a new offspring, you started with bears, and you ended up with bears. As with the E Coli, you started with Ecoli and ended with EColi.
We just never seem to find that instant where a species is no longer that species, hasn't that ever made you wonder? With so much evolution going on right under our noses, you would think we would be able to prove that it's happening, but we can't, all we can prove is there are changes. But changes don't prove evolution, yet all changes are assumed to be evolution. These are the types of problems that occur when people start making assumptions, and when others start accepting those assumptions as proof. They are not proof, they are only speculation.
These changes can be from so many things, they can be from radiation in the air, sickness in the air, there are so many things it's almost impossible to narrow down what is causing what to change. These changes are not part of any process like claimed by evolutionists, and to admit so, strongly suggests intelligent programming of some sort.
If evolution is capable of rendering over a billion species, then by all definition, it is a creator, there is no way you can side step that fact. A process could be a creator, it doesn't have to be a god like we are all taught. And anything that has made over a billion species didn't do so by accident, it's clear there is an agenda behind it all.

Of course I read it, how else would you think I would be able to comment about it?
Both links you posted are unproven. Aliens in the bible link is subjective, based on interpretation and nothing more. You still haven't addressed one single piece of evidence behind evolution. Any day now would be nice instead of just dismissing them because you say so. Go to the talk origins links and go to each sub section and tell me what you don't agree with and why. If you REALLY think that evolution is some made up science, THEN PROVE IT. Talk is cheap. You need evidence
Just because I read it doesn't mean I'm going to make the same assumptions you are.
If you had read it, you wouldn't have made such uninformed and uneducated comments, Toothy.
The interpretation of the word aliens is backed up by the fact that UFO's are also mentioned in the bible, and other planets, and the phrase, that earth is not our home. I don't think it could be any clearer.
So basically, you don't feel like reading the links and just decide to assume they are all wrong and do not prove evolution. Come on, now. I presented the evidence that proves evolution. We HAVE witnessed one species change into another. You just keep repeating lie after lie. Address the evidence or find another thread to post in. Nobody cares about personal opinion. This is about fact.
OMG, Look at how far behind you have fallen.

UFOs are not mentioned in the bible. It's another interpretation of the text. Where does the bible mention other planets or say the earth is not our home? Give me exact quotes.
What does the Bible say about intelligent life on other planets?
other life??
The Bible does not teach that intelligent life exists elsewhere in our universe. Although our all-powerful God could have created such life had He desired, it seems rather obvious from Scripture that He did not.
Then you must have skipped over exodus where God says he is a jelious god, and wants to be our only god.
More proof of itsthetooth's complete lack of reading comprehension skills. What does the link he posted say the Bible says about intelligent life on other planets? Here's a direct quote:
Perhaps next time itsthetooth should actually read and understand what he's attempting to use to support his arguments and make sure that the source does, rather than just hope that it does based on the title.

lol....that was the first link I clicked and was just about to post the same point, yet again. His reply doesn't even make sense........
ahhhh....now I see he edited his original reply to try and be more coherent whilst twisting his claim. lulz
Knowing that is the case, how can the anus evolve in different organisms, in different times, and in different sequential selection events?
Is this happening in other areas of biology? If so, can there be some hidden property causing all of these coincidences?
Then you must have skipped over exodus where God says he is a jelious god, and wants to be our only god.
Seriously its common sense. I had to go back and read this one, I think you missed the total point. Just because they aren't directly teaching that there is other life, doesn't mean there isn't any. The bible was supposed to be about us, and our dealings with god, not other life abound.
DID GOD MAKE OTHER PLANETS, WORLDS?
In Genesis 2:4 "This is the history of the HEAVENS and the EARTH when they were CREATED, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the HEAVENS!
The above scripture, does not use the word HEAVENS, to describe Gods particular domain, or his Heaven, which Heaven, the word is also used. But in this scripture, according the original Hebrew, HEAVENS HAS THIS MEANING: celestial bodies (which in todays terminology, means stars, planets, asteroids, moons, etc.) THERE YOU HAVE IT!
Thats only from the perspective that you don't believe in any of it. So what are you saying, people were worshiping gods that didn't exist? Seriously?
That doesn't mean that there were other gods, just that other gods were being worshipped. The early Semitic people were not monotheistic by any stretch of the imagination.
True, but I included that link to show you that they were just omitting that information as they had allready proven them in other ways. You have to extrapolate a little bit here, if there are space crafts, they obviously have to be manned by somone, most likely aliens. If there are aliens they most likely have some place to live, like other planets. It's just common sense.
You can't have it both ways. Either the sources you linked support your case or they don't. The link of yours that I quoted from makes it clear that "the Bible does not teach that intelligent life exists elsewhere in our universe". Your own link says that the Bible makes no mention of intelligent life anywhere other than Earth i.e. the Bible makes no mention of aliens.
Except, there you don't have it. Anyone who has spent even five or ten minutes investigating the language used in the Bible would know that the phrase "the heavens and the Earth" is an idiomatic expression that means "everything". The author of your link is suggesting that people who unearth our culture and writings after a couple of millennia should draw the conclusion that cats and dogs literally fall from the sky because people wrote about how it "rained cats and dogs"

No on has ever witnessed anything evolving into another species, much less have they been able to conclusivly prove it has happend. You can make all the assumptions you want, but there is no proof that undoubtably proves species evolve into another species, its all speculation.
