The Welfare class has been around for a very short time relative to the age of humankind. It's on it's way out as is our way of life. I think these things run in cycles. This is probably the only time that worthless and lazy humans have been as rewarded as they are in our society but I think in the future the boomerang effect is going to be quite brutal on that class of people. Something I don't like to think about.

Not christian or a bible believer myself, but I believe the bible is meant to be taken as a metaphor, not literal.

Unless you take the bible literally (Which means that bats are birds, etc.), evolution can easily fit in with Christian faith.

No, just like thermodynamics, survival of the fittest goes in one direction and one direction only. Keeping around the weak, the unwilling, the "worst" of the bunch only gives the chance of polluting the gene pool.

Hey! Everyone! Out of the gene pool!

We evolved to live contrary to the laws of Darwin?

Or did God put compassion in us which we often take too far?

The simple answer to your question is, many don't believe in Evolution because it has never been proven in ANY way and is in fact bad science and a whole lot of HOGWASH.

Do some research on your own looking for the proofs and you will find they are not there.

Did you know that Darwin himself said that, "in the future the fossil record will be uncovered that will prove the theory and if it is not found it will show we are wrong".

The evolutionists will go to great lengths to try to tell us the record is in fact there. It's nothing but hot air and lies. And there are zero links. The hunt for the MISSING link is still on

If evolutionary theory was true the fossil record would be filled with millions upon millions of links and examples of small incremental changes that would be necessary for evolution to happen. Some evolutionists are so bankrupt that they now state that every few million years or so a whole lot of new species just spontainously pop up in one big evolutionary event. LOL

Tell me why the history of evolutionary science is so full of frauds, lies and misrepresentations? It's just so obvious that these crimes were required to prop up a failing theory.

They will tell you that the discovery of DNA was a good thing for the theory but in fact it totally distroyed evolutionary theory and the assumptions the theory was based on. They now dispute the original assumptions were the original assumptions even though anyone who can read can see for themselves.

An original assumption was that simple life forms were just that, simple. The discovery of DNA shows us that even a single celled organism is complex beyond imagination. So much for the old idea of a mix of chemicals being sparked into life somehow.

Most evolutionists today don't even want to hear the name of the theory is, "The origin of the species"because their theory has collapsed so badly in that foundational area that they have no argument at all. They now like to talk about the proof being found in Viruses and things of that nature.

SO, THE QUESTION SHOULD BE, Why would anyone believe in this theory that is so full of holes I could sail a ship through it? Why should we believe anything from people who have been caught over and over presenting fraudlent evidence? Why should we believe a theory that the real and measurable evidence shows us very clearly the theory is wrong?

Is where I stopped reading, because I knew the rest would be wrong, and painfully so.

We have only found like 20 T-Rex fossils in the world, ever. Does that mean there were only 20?

The number of dinosaur fossils we've found are actually quite small. We find bits and pieces of new ones, and we fill in the blank.

You really know nothing about the fossil record, whats been found, or what you're even asking for with a "missing link". There are millions of missing links, and while it would be AWESOME to find all of them, we simply won't ever be able to do that, or even find a majority.

You offer no evidence, just "I think this, and this is so" without proving why it is so.

complete and utter rubbish. Evolution has been proven, and can be seen in many animals on Earth.

Evolution is also testable.

todays Birds for example show how evolution has worked through the years.
