When network TV gets to salacious for my tastes I turn to the Discovery Channel, which is reporting that sharks are being hunted to distinction. Ostriches, emus' and kiwi's are also flightless birds that can be used for food as well as their eggs, and they have survived. BTW, I know why the dodo became extinct. I also know why the passenger pigeon is now extinct, and why many other species are on the endangered species list. The main reason is the ultimate in “evolution” – man.
Survival of the fittest falls apart where man is concerned since the fittest are not always the ones who survive.
Some evolutionists believe in major leaps in short periods of time. What I have yet to see from any evolutionist is proof of evolution. I learned the “theory of evolution” in high school over 40 years ago. Since then no empirical evidence has been forthcoming to support a “theory” that is close to 150 years old. But a mass of credible science from biology, microbiology, astronomy, physics, anatomy, geology, and many other scientific disciplines have been able to show that evolutionary theory is dead and refuses to admit it.
“Given enough time and the right conditions” seems to be the mantra of evolutionary theory. Well “given enough time and the right conditions” a hundred monkeys could write Shakespeare’s sonnets on typewriters. I hear a lot of the “Bible is myth” and I can understand that, but when I state “Darwinian evolution is a myth” I am treated like an imbecile while those who disagree with me cannot furnish any proof for evolution. There are a plethora of “theories”, but not proof. Every fossil every found has been a fully developed animal and no transition fossil has every been discovered.
You can choose to continue to believe in evolution but I will take science over theory any day.
