Such a persuasive 'argument'.

Evolution must be true since you explain it so well

Darwin died in 1882...Do you really think evolutionary science stopped when he died?....It is unbelievable that you woos continue to think a guy who has been dead for over 130 years had any idea where evolutionary science has led us...The church got butt hurt when Darwin published "On The Origin of Species" 154 years ago, and some of you still are still reaching for the preparation H....Time to get over it and live in the present.

So persuasive
LOL You realise that t-rex went extinct 65 million years ago, and great apes first appeared around 15 million years ago? That's why your question is stupid, not to mention that mammals are a completely different evolutionary branch to dinosaurs.

The question, with sarcasm removed, is simple: where are the missing links? Where are the fossils of all those in-between life forms which took is from fish to human? They did not exist then, and they do not exist today, which is why it takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution anyway. We do, however, have fossil records showing a sudden explosion of life at one point, and we have fossils of entirely different creatures, but we do not have fossils proving a chain of evolution. It is in your imagination because you have been told to believe it. One day Dubois found some orangutan bone fragments, and voila, the missing link had been discovered (invented). The only problem was the fact that it was NOT a link between human and a lower creature, it was orangutan (and some human bones). For a long time people like you swore up and down that it was a missing link.

The fossil record is proof of a global flood.

Not even close dude.

Scientists (then called naturalists) in the late 1600's were even then doubting the Biblical myth of a Noachian flood.

Here's a very good write-up by a religious author.


"History of the collapse of ‘Flood Geology’ and a young Earth"

Really?

Humans and dinosaurs are millions of years apart. Mammals were on the order of shrews and voles when the dinosaurs kicked it. You can't possibly be informed enough to offer any sort of criticism of evolution worth listening to if you didn't know that.

I heartily second that.

I think the person in question missed a lot of schooling and his church is seriously misleading him.

But the evangelical fundamentalist denominations tend to do that.
