To all my friends who sincerely disagree with evolution -?

I have read modicums from "Origin of the Species." I agree with many of Darwin's observations. They were intelligent ones. I agree with microevolution. I am not sure about macroevolution. Water into wine? Apes and man came from a similar simian ancestor? I don't know about that. I am skeptical. Does this make me a heretic (of science)?

To me, the metamorphosis from a simian ancestor into modern man (even if provided with billions of years for evolution to work out) seems like a miraculous transformation to me. Water into wine.

Sure, humans are mutagenic. Yes, evolution, at least on a small scale, is a fact. But evolution cannot perform miracles. It can tinker with already existing DNA, but it cannot change one species into another in my view.

I've read Darwin and Gould, but I've also read those who take a critical view of Darwinism, including Phillip Johnson, Michael Behe, Jonathan Wells, and Tom Bethell. Have any Darwinists read any opposing views?

Frankly, it is vitally important to read the critical evidence against Darwinism because it has been censored in schools. Anyone who discusses the inadequacies of Darwin's 19th century speculation (e.g., the Cambrian explosion) is censored, pilloried, and subjected to vocational persecution. If the Darwinist claims had the overwhelming support that proponents claim, why do Darwinists beat down the opposition?

Cheers,

You CAN NOT "disagree" with evolution. NO ONE believes nor disbelieves in evolution. This is the most arrogant, ******* idiotic thing i've ever heard. Evolution is a FACT. Supported by millions of pieces of evidence and 200 years of research. If you doubt the FACT of evolution then you need to go jump of a bridge, after all, gravity is "just a theory" too, ******* dumbass Christians.

There is plenty of basic information available. When I want to debate a topic, I first try to learn as much about it as possible, so I don't give the appearance of complete ignorance in what I say. There is plenty of good information readily available on this scientific topic. For example ...

When i was a Christian and would study apologetics i would read up from solely Christan sources..

now, re-reviewing the works...the peer reviews do not concur and many are invalid, yes that last fact seems to be constantly forgotten.

Their religion encourages a blinkered view of the world. Such is the nature of a controlling belief system.

The study of more than one book appears to be either disallowed or is actually abhorrent to them.

They say that ignorance is bliss, unfortunately it is and always will be just plain old ignorance.

Researching first and then talking about any subject is vital! And no people I don't mean go to a website or two that yell "Evolution is a SIN!!!!!!"..... I mean search for credible sources.

This goes for *any* given subject.

You make a good point. It is amazing that there are so many people who are 100% convinced that evolution doesn't happen, and they can't even define it in the first place.

That requires the correct use of human mental abilities, something severely suppressed in the religious and creationists mind.

Your also assuming they can read and comprehend anything other that primitive texts about fairy tails.

They would not admit it, since they live in virtual seclusion from anything but Bible

That's actually 4 people, iRome. At least if they read up on it, but most of them don't.
