Science, Creation & EvolutionRing Species :: Response TimeResponse Time Nor would it, evolution does not work that way. Evolution has, will, and does produce organisms which come closer to a shift in any of the given taxonimic callifications. It's not a matter of where the shift occurs in the taxonomic classification, but rather on the complexity of the ancestral organism. Salamanders are fairly complex and you state the obvious that they have not evoved to a higher "order". However on the single celled side of things, it is much easier for the less complex organism to have successive generations which take seperate evolutionary paths which account for the diversity of life today. When christianity can explain what existed before the "let there be light" then just maybe christianity can explain away science. Until then science is around to stay. intelligent design has yet to explain the origins of life or what caused the "let there be light". And there is a growing body of evidence that supports science. And "intelligent design" makes an even further leap and states that it all was created at once with no evidence whatsoever to back it up. What religion can and has shown via observation and experimentation is nothing. All of religion is faith and delusional thinking. Yes, theories based on hard evidence. It is not what I want to believe, it is what the evidence is indicating. Wanting to believe falls in the realm of religion. And how long do you think it took the land to get where it is now? This in itself shows the Earth is much older than what christians would have us believe. That is why C-14 dating is not used to date rocks. There are such things as potassium-Argon (K-Ar) dating and rubidium-strontium (Rb-Sr) dating (to name but two) that are used to determine ages much greater than 50,000 years on non-organic matter. As in 3 billion years or as in 10,000 years? |
