I have an argument against evolution, Carnivorous Plants. Are there any counter-arguments to my claim?

They just migrated to places where other plants couldn't survive, but only AFTER they were able to survive there.

Otherwise the seeds that had migrated to these unlivable conditions would have died. See the point now?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60265585


If they were already living in nutrient-rich areas while they were evolving traps to survive in nutrient-poor locations... They wouldn't have needed traps to survive in nutrient-poor locations. They also would be able to survive in both nutrient-rich locations and nutrient-poor locations. However, carnivorous plants are extremely fickle with their soil requirements, and will quickly die if they are placed in nutrient-rich soil.

If you choose to continue to ignore reality and the facts presented to you, and instead rely on your own imagination and ludicrous claims, you have set this thread up from the beginning with a closed mind and heart.

Trust me when I say you need to open both a bit. The Bible teaches us to question everything, which you are doing well; however, you also need to learn to distinguish fact from fiction. You and I share the same ability to extend our faith in terms of the things presented to us in the Bible, but there is a difference between believing that Jesus died and rose again (which would simply, from a scientific point of view, be an outlier in the data of people who didn't rise from the dead) and believing that all of the facts and evidence presented to you about the chemical and biological forces of nature are lies.

Even if the 'theory' of evolution is wrong, you have a very tenuous grasp on the concept at best.

I only agree because he/she ignores most of the posts (and all but one of mine) and only responds to what they've nitpicked out.

They also demonstrate a very, very tenuous grasp on what the theory of evolution actually claims...


Op, if you truly believe your claims about carnivorous plants are correct then you have to respond to all of the facts presented against your claims. Carnivorous plants are a perfect example of how evolution works, yet somehow you think the opposite. I'm calling you out on your shit: respond to the facts presented to you over the course of this thread or go back to school and learn what 'evolution' actually means instead of what your pastor told you it means.

I agree with you except when you start talking about god. I am Christian too but not at all religious because I understand the bible is a story that was written to fulfill by the same people that control the world today. It is blueprint not prophecy.

This is a simulation. There is a higher power that created us but its not some imaginary god from the bible that we like to believe.

The traps on carnivorous plants are extremely advanced. Carnivorous plants could not have survived for millions of years to evolve these traps. They cant survive in nutrient rich soil , only waterlogged bogs.

This is a perfect example of a person giving almost zero information about science or our discussion on science and biology, and making claims that they aren't even supporting. You claim that carnivorous plants are a perfect example of evolution. Why are they a perfect example of evolution? You never say. You also have to resort to name calling and jumping the bandwagon to team up against me. For the record ive responded to almost all the claims, but very few have responded to any of my claims. So keep on resorting to slinging insults when you cant even back up your claim with evidence or reasoning, you're only embarrasing yourself.

Re: I have an argument against evolution, Carnivorous Plants. Are there any counter-arguments to my claim?
Since 99.9+ % of species that have existed are now extinct, the case for evolution is clearly made. Nature rolls the dice, sink or swim. The species now living on earth are the successful ones, and have been in the process of existing, and maybe surviving for billions of years. But note; species that have survived do, occasionally, aquire a new trait, if the trait makes it better it keeps it, if not it dies and tries something else, essentially becoming more perfect over time, long time, deep time.
 Quoting: Northman


Yeah this is really good point, even though it's a little off topic. I do believe that species can adapt through natural selection, like Darwin's finches for example. However, I don't believe that a species evolves into another species. For example, I believe a monkey evolve longer fingers for pulling out insects from a tree stump or hole in the ground, but I don't believe a monkey could evolve into a human. There still are monkeys today and there are also humans today, so obviously some evolved/some didn't...? Doesn't seem to add up.scratching

I don't mean to sound rude but god I was feeling down in the dumps but creationists always find a way to cheer me up with their hilarious ignorant posts about evolution! Thank you! Laughter really is the best medicine.

Who cares who wins. I bet both theories are wrong but if it makes you feel safe; YOU WIN!

I have no respect for anyone who chooses to believe in some magical sky wizard rather than facts.

You deserve to be put in a mental asylum because only mad people like you OP would continue to believe in this creationist rubbish when it has been proven that evolution is a known fact.

When you die you will cease to exist. Just because you're scared shitless that about dying means you are trying your best to con yourself that god exists. He/she/it doesn't. get over it and just enjoy your life, such as it is.

Re: I have an argument against evolution, Carnivorous Plants. Are there any counter-arguments to my claim?
So, the question remains: How in the world can a species of plant develop such intricate and detailed traps, that theoretically would have taken untold millions (or tens of millions?) of years to develop, while receiving no nutritional substance whatsoever from the soil?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12603145


The answer is, they do, they just get different nutrients from soil, there are many plants that will die in perfect soil conditions, those plants thrive on poor soil and usually actually create a better condition in soil for other plants.

A carnivorous plants doesnt eat a large amount of insects a day to sustain themselves, they can last a long time without doing that so, even through they do 'eat' to get nutrients, even in very poor conditions they probably would last a long time too.

Then there is the fact that we messed with the whole ecosystem by artificial planting, cutting trees down etc etc. So where the soil is now supercrappy, in the time before these plants evolved they may not have needed to eat insects.

that they cant survive in nutrient rich soil now doesnt mean they never could.
Pretty sure Jesus couldnt ride a bicicle, or any other person a long long time ago, but hey guess what, a lot of us can now!
