The lack of a ...[text shortened]... tween there and their, basic sentence structure and some sense of coherant overall construction?
It's obvious you don't understand very much. There is to deal with location, and their refers to possession. Maybe I made a mistake, but it happens. I have no problem with being humble. As usual your knowledge of the sciences are pathetically weak, and you don't want to learn, so you live in a day dream. Here's a quote you can use, "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts." You believe in evolution, not because of the facts, but inspite of the facts. Remember, random processes governed by vhance, which is the mechanism for evolution never produces order, only chaos. Which is the governing force of your thinking.

Marshall Kay and Edwin Colbert address this issue in their book, Stratigraphy and life History. The evidence only supports the fact that these early fossils appeared suddenly fully formed and functional. A little aside, you quote some vaste ages, it is a commonly know fact, that the dating methods, ie Uranium, Thorium, Potassium are not reliable, because of so much guess work. That in itself ca ...[text shortened]... onclusion, but I will continue to research. As a famous cyborg once said, "I'll be be back."[/b]

Yep they did. Precambrian fossils.

So why do different radiodating methods on different sources collaberate on the same 4.4 billion year age for earth?

Your knowledge of Archaeopteryx is lacking - you don't seem to know about its many reptile features that are not present in birds.

Perhaps you can explain the mysterious link between waves, conservation of energy and evolution that I can't see.

I don't know quite what your finishing comment has to do with anything. Who says that humans are order?

That's not true. Chance is the mechanism that is supposed to create opportunities for change in evolutionary theory, but natural selection is the mechanism for evolution. The first step is random, the second step involves "pruning" unacceptable random changes from the gene pool. Of course, what qualifies as "unacceptable" is dynamic and is determined by interactions of the organism with the rest of the system.

The reasons are simple, first, evolution can't explain the wave motions of light, electro-magnet and nulcear, because a wave shouldn't be able to occur in a vacuum, nevertheless it does.

Evolution has nothing to do with light. Light is physics. Evolution is biology. Would it suprise you to know that biology can't explain electricity or free market economics?

Second, evolution flies in the face of the Laws of Energy conservation and Energy decay

There is no such thing as a law of energy decay. Anyway you are wrong to think that evolution flies in the face of elementary physics. If that were the case every phycisist would be dead set against evolution.

Rubbish, look up pre-cambrian fossils on google.

You have that wrong. *Some* dinosaurs *may* have been warm blooded. Even so why is this a problem for evolution? Tell me where evolution predicts that all dinosaurs must be cold blooded.

Sixth, is the problem Melvin Cook discovered concerning Helium 4 entering the atmosphere, not leaving the rocks, thus bringing into question the age of the atmosphere

Melvin Cook's calculations were flawed.

Seventh, there of course is what was the earth like in the beginning. Trying to duplicate what you don't know is pretty silly, nobody was there

That's like saying trying to deduce a crime from clues at the crime scene is silly because noone was there to observe the crime.

Eighth, how such animals as the woodpecker, bombardier beetle, the cleaner fish and the Archerfish come about. There designs are very complex, and random processes governed by chance don't work.

The thing is that we know evolution has taken place even though we don't fully know how it took place. We know humans are decended from ancient hominids, but we don't know exactly how that change occured. Just because some of your specific "how" questions don't currently have answers doesn't disprove evolution. Does the fact that we don't know how gravity works mean that gravity doesn't exist?

If you think so, then try this, take apart a simple mechanism such as a calculator, and dismantle it. Take those several parts and put them in a dryer and let them tumble, and see if your calculator will turn up fully assembled.

And how is that like evolution? It isn't. Your analogy is to spontaneous formation of an animal, nothing like evolution.

And what is the point of those rather unconnected strange questions? All they show is that in many cases you don't really understand what evolution says, and you seem to have found problems with your own incorrect notion of it.

Frogstomp, radiometric dating is all fouled up. We live in an open system which inevitbly affects the parent to daughter element decay rate. Besides, one must know wht the relationship was before the decay began, and you can't possibly know that


Yes you can - look up isocron dating.

Thoery aint even a word .
Don't try to explain science terminology to me , you'll only get it wrong.

My definition of fact :theory :: your definition of theory : hypothesis.

if you dont have to stick to the proper science terminology,,, neither do I.

Wrong. Just pick up a dictionary. Theory = An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.

My definition of fact :theory

This is clearly where you are making the mistake which I am pointing out to you. Theory = An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture. Fact = Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. Clearly you see that the two definitions are not at all compatible.

your definition of theory : hypothesis.

When did I say this? Like always you are simply putting words in my mouth.

Hypothesis = A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.

Why would I say that this is a theory!!??

So as it has finally come out of your own mouth TOE is an assumption based on limited information or knowledge. This is clearly not a fact.

theory

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

LMFAO!!! You obviously don't even own a dictionary! Please cite the dictionary that gave such a ridiculous definition of "theory". My Webster's New Collegiate has several, but none use the words "assumption" or "limited knowledge" or "conjecture". As per a scientific theory like evolution the most fitting would be: A plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena (ex. wave theory of light). So I'd say frogstomp is right and you're wrong on this one.
