skywatcher57:
It always disgusts me to see the evolutionary theory accepted and passed off as fact. To date, not a single evolutionist has been able to intelligently answer a simple question: Where did matter, the spark of life, and emotions come from? To date, as a rock collector, I've not heard a single rock cry out in pain when I crack it open! We believe in an Intelligent Designer, with copious amounts of scientific proof, while they believe we came from a rock! It takes more faith to believe the latter than the former. Liberals don't possess much critical thinking ability, do they!

ZappaSaid88:
Evolution is the study of the changes in biological organisms over time. It has nothing to do with origins. And if you have so much scientific proof please publish your scientific study and collect your Nobel prize.

skywatcher57:
With all due respect, your statement is foolish, as we both know that Evilution focuses upon origins; all else is secondary.

Enniscorthy:
No, Zappa is quite correct. Evolution deals with change. If it's origins you want, the subject is cosmology, or abiogenesis.

skywatcher57:
You do realize that development can be seen as evolution, in the losest (sic) sense of the word, right? You do realize that there is a difference between this kind of evolution/development than engineering by human intervention, right? All too often, we are using the words, "evolved" and "evolution" out of context and too generally, without adhering to its pure form as modern science attempts to indoctrinate us with.

TheKingOfRhye:
"You do realize that development can be seen as evolution"
Yeah, they are synonymous. That's why, if you're talking about evolution of life, you're not talking about its origin, you're talking about its development, aka evolution.
It doesn't mean someone studying evolution has to ignore any questions of the origin of life, it just means that if they do start dealing with that, they're not talking about evolution any more.

skywatcher57:
How long did the mouth have to sit around and wait for the second cell to evolve so it could digest its food? How long before the rectum evolved? If I sit around for the next 250 m. years waiting for my wings to grow, I'd never get off the ground. See how foolish your belief system is?! The single-celled amoeba would die while waiting for the common sense to know what to do with its food. Enough of the circular thinking; I have more important things to do, and I'm NOT conceding!
