Questions for Evolutionists
 


1. How many fossils have been found that show transition from one species to the next?

2. Is macro-evolution science?

3. If you answered yes to #3 then where's the tangible, testible evidence?

This should be left to be answered by someone trained in this field. I'm certainly not qualified.

I'm not a biologist, but I would think it is a science.

This is question #3, but I get your point.

There are still many unanswered questions about evolution. My biggest one has to do with speciastic barriers. If man evolved from apes, then why aren't there any half man-apes around in the process of becoming fully man? Did the genus of ape we evolved from suddenly stop evolving into man? Why do we find that one species is often so clearly defined from other species?

Why can't we breed mass generations of fish for example, and slowly change their environmnet to include less and less air and water and see if they start to develop lungs?

I have some problem with the so-called Cambrian explosion too, although I can think of some logical reasons for this.

These might be horrifically stupid questions. But this is what happens when someone unqualified like myself starts contemplating a science I know little about.

Hopefully, someone will have the creditials to answer your questions. Like I said right away. It certainly isn't me, but I'm curious to learn more about it.

No, there is no way we'll ever get to Alpha Centura so all claims about it's composition are based on unfalsifible deduction/speculation, so it isn't science.

That's my point. The answer to question #1 is zero btw.

Yet you and others reject creation because of no "tangible evidence"?

Actually maybe I put words in your mouth there. You stated "how about some tangible evidence" when asked about your dis belief in God.

If you're really interested in evidence then species formation can be observed in living creatures.

That's it? Archaeopteryx, and many of the other links have been disproven for sometime.

If you were to put ice water on the stove at what point would it make the transition from cold to hot?

So your saying that there is nothing missing in the fossil record?

Of course there is no complete fossil record. We have access to some randomly strewn about fossils from various points in time.

But your question misses the point about the theory of evolution and how species are formed. Your question is analagous to looking at 30 xrays of 1 person taken on their birthday from age 1 to 30 then asking to show you the one which shows the transition from childhood to adulthood.
