This whole debate is so one sided. GSCTroop has provided reams of valid evidence and examples of evolution, and campbell all you do is mock it. How about you post some evidence from your side of the debate....and I do not mean links to creationist sites, but truly independent evidence from people with no horse in this race. I wait.
I don't know that one, but then I have never been exposed to creationists before.
This forum was my first real exposure to it. I'd heard OF them but I always thought it was one of those rumors that people spread to knock Evangelism. I never actually thought people REALLY believed it...
Anyway, here is the peanut butter argument. It's always good for a laugh in my opinion. I love how real science does research and Creation science resorts to "Jiffy".
Thanks troop....Love it especially the comments..I sort of understand the creationists dilemma though... Their entire belief system in some cases their entire lives, is based on taking the bible literally, so if they admit they are mistaken it crumbles and everything is lost.

Well, I can understand that part of it. However, to me, there's a difference between those who try to pass off their faith as factual with unsubstantiated evidence at best. In all sincerity, if there were evidence that supported a Biblical Creation, than the very nature of science would also come to those conclusions as well. I don't honestly see how someone can sit here and say "science" tries to lie about findings to support Atheistic causes. It's really astounding when you think about it. And that's not to say that believers can't contribute wonderful scientific progression. Kelvin is one that comes to mind. Ken Miller who wrote Finding Darwin's God, and was the cornerstone of the Kitzmiller vs. Dover School Board case is a devout Catholic and an utterly brilliant biologist.
While I respect the stance that many find faith more important than science, I don't see why people are unable to reconcile the two in light of all the evidence that exists. I just don't know why some people believe that evolution equals "No God". It really doesn't. I mean, I rarely hear Jews proclaim that evolution defies their faith, and so it seems that this is strictly a Christian thing. Although, I am somewhat aware that the Muslim community frowns on evolution as well (I just haven't heard from them that much).
Real Scientist? Wikipedia states, Rhodesian Man is a hominin fossil. He is dated between 125,000 and 300,000 years old. Previously, some reports have given erroneous dates of up to 1.75 and 2.5 million years of age. Cranial capacity of the Broken Hill skull has been measured at 1,300 cm, which, when coupled with the more recent dating, makes any direct link to older skulls unlikely and negates the 1.75 to 2.5 million year earlier dating. Even if the skull looks like a text book transional, it's obviously not. And those real scientist of yours better do a little more research.
Wikipedia also says this
Quote:
However, when regarding the skulls extreme robustness, recent research has pointed to several features intermediate between modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthal.
Any particular reason you left that part out? Sounds like even the sources you find convincing say it's an example of a transitional fossil.
