Originally posted by Conrau K Ok, Ok, my conclusion was bogus (in the most liberal sense). However, macroevolution does not need to be observed it can be inferred. From the available evidence (i.e. fossils) we can make [flimsy-semi-plausible] inferences about a species development. There is however, no biological reaon why macro-evolution is impossible. This is what I meant by "evolution is true".
Much better to say evolution is a valid scientific Theory.

As you have made the claim that we are evolving , the burden of proof is yours.
Ok, but how old are the fossils?
Now if they are BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of years old, as Carl Sagan proposes,
that is incorrect.
Macroevolution? I don't know.
Have to read more on it.
What version of the bible do you have?

Dude! Just here for the scintillating conversation?
I think it might take a while for the theists to bamboozle their way out of this one.
Please stop wasting your time arguing against theists who are creationists. Anyone who can't accept the overwhelming evidence for evolution and prefers to interpret literally what is obviously a mythical Genesis story (however spiritually relevant it might be) is not likely to listen to reason anyway. Notice how easily you use the word theist when I guess you really mean creationist. There are plenty of theists out there who don't have a problem with evolution and don't have to bamboozle their way out of anything.

As long as don't somehow think that your theory is a fact and somehow disproves Creation.
It is simply a preferd belief, disguised as Science, which cannot be demonstrated in the lab or reproduced as anything 'Scientific' should be.
