I can’t believe how many people don’t believe in evolution. Ok, let me get some things str8....
Your dinosaur example is not a good one to bring up because according to your beliefs, there have been millions of years between the extinction of the dinosaurs and the arrival of modern man.
Why is my dinosaur example not good enough to bring up? You are exactly right, there are millions of years between dinosaurs and the arrival of man. That is my point exactly. You see the Fossil remains show that living things in the remote past were very different from living things today. THEREFORE Life has changed through time (evolved).
You bring up some weak points about the coelocanth. That has nothing to do with evolution. All that example does for you is say that scientists thought something was extinct, but in fact it wasn’t. It’s a learning process.
And as far as the fossils that your scientists have supposedly found, they have yet to find a complete or close to complete missing link
That’s only because religious people like you deny the facts that are right in front of your eyes. Just a few months ago scientists unearthed a skeletal remain of one of the oldest human species ever found, 8 million years old. Now, of course religious people will deny this as an actual human. They say its a "monkey like creature" or whatever. The fact is there isn’t going to be some "missing link" that you talk about. There’s nothing that’s going to be half man half monkey because evolution is a process!! It takes millions of years for evolution work. You see, all of these older human species do NOT exist anymore. Evolution is very simple. All it takes is a small mutation. Heritable variations (mutations) are observed to occur spontaneously, from time to time, in populations of all species. We know this for a fact.
In a given environment, some of these variations are helpful in the struggle for existence, and others are harmful or neutral. The source of these changes is either a change in the sequence of chemical bases in the DNA molecules making up an organism's genes, rearrangement of genes on chromosomes, or multiplication or deletion of genes or chromosomes. Physically and chemically speaking, there is no limit to the amount of base changing possible in DNA or the amount of gene rearrangement, which can take place. Every thing can change. And everything is changing. Scientists have found a species of snake that actually has tiny little back legs in its skeleton. These legs do not function, but only prove that this species of snake evolved from something else, like a lizard.
Another observation made by scientists is that the human head is actually becoming larger in the front of the skull and smaller in the back. Why you ask? Because the front of the human brain handles more of the processing tasks, while the back handles more of the physical tasks. As humans get smarter and smarter, and less dependent on the physical aspects, the brain, and skull change over time.
I can’t believe you would state that humans lived with the dinosaurs. Why are there no skeletons of both species from the same time period? Also, by stating this, you must believe in early man. You must believe in some type of "caveman" right? Can you honestly say that man has not changed since the caveman?
I'll admit that I have to accept one ludicrous notion: that God created the world in 7 days. You, on the other hand, have to accept hundreds.
Hundreds? How can you say this? You believe in fairy tails, I on the other hand believe in facts.
And while I rely on faith to justify my beliefs, I rely on facts to show that your theory of evolution is just plain wrong.
If you rely on faith to justify your beliefs, well then I am speaking to a fool. Show me some facts that disprove evolution! I would love to hear them. Please, humor me with specifics.
