The great monkey king
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40621854

It's a strange faith, he never offered anyone anything but his personal assurance this won't happen;
"Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." Jo5:25

"And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." Isa11:6

D.N.A isn't totally rewritten between new species. Just very very different. Like, Archosaurs. Archosaurs D.N.A wise are closer to each other than Lepidosaurs (so Crocodiles and Birds will be closer to each other than Crocodiles and Lizards.) One can see it clearly by comparing D.N.A.

Yes all from creatures that actually lived. S0 show me one fossil of a creature turning into a different one.
 Quoting: DGN


Oh there's one now!

No creature turns into a different one. A creature has a baby that is ever so slightly different and that adds up over generations.

It's like a movie reel, it's all a bunch of single images one after the other that paint a moving picture when seen as a whole.

So show me a sample fossil trail of this so I know you didn't just make that up.

"And to Adam he said: “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and took to eating from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you will eat its produce all the days of your life. 18 And thorns and thistles it will grow for you, and you must eat the vegetation of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Ge3;13
So..... the faith proves true?
 Quoting: DGN


Church is for religion, however evolution is based on science, progressive logic, and evidence.

Because religions like Jehovah's Witnesses teach mythical nonsense, it requires "Faith" to believe such drivel. On the other hand, evolution only requires that a person understand logic, evidence, science, and common sense.

However a certain level of intelligence is required to grasp it, unfortunately most JWs dwell in the bottom half of the bell curve.

I would say science is the study of divine designs and man's feeble attempt to unravel their structural/operational secrets, especially at the molecular and biological levels.

Re: Professor Darwin's Church of 'Evolution': So what exactly is the faith in? Confirmation in total futility?
I'll give a fossil trail of birds, another wall of text incoming.

Juravenator, an early theropod raptor. Just another raptor, with feathers and some slight changes in it's hip that would end up resembling those of birds. But still clearly a raptor.

Anchiornis: Lived about 15-20 million years after Juravenator, and it was still very raptor-like, with a long, bony tail, a spine attaching to the back end of the skull unlike birds' attaching to the base, and long legs in the structure of a flightless, endurance hunting raptor. However, it still had feathers, and at this point the wrists were much more flexible, and were now more bird than raptor. Still, very much a raptor.

Archeopterx: Everyone has heard of this, it's a cousin to modern birds. Still has spine attaching to the back of the skull, sickle claws, boned tails, many things you'd expect of raptors. However, it did have fully developed asymmetrical flight feathers, fused furcula from joined clavicles, and backward and elongated pubis not found in primitive theropods.

For the next few tens of millions of years, birds would take on a beak, and would become very much like modern birds, such as Confuciusornis (which independently evolved a toothless beak D:)
By the time we reach Ichthyornis, it is very similar to a modern bird, but has things such as a toothed beak. From here on out, it is just the evolution of new birds, not of raptors to birds.

A theory in SCIENCE is by definition; "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."

Plus, there have been many human species before us found. At LEAST 50. H.Erectus, Neanderthals, H. tsaichangensis, H.Halibis, H.Naledi, the list goes on.

Yeah I can see the similarity between the 3 ton dino leg bone structure and the hollow 12 oz, bird legs. Somehow I see zero fossil record of a dinosaur devolving into a bird, must be a secret? DNA specifies every creature replicates according to it's specific kind to maintain equilibrium in the biosphere, zero exceptions, NEVER been observed.

Great question, here's your answer;
"I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is destined to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his kingdom, 2 preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and [art of] teaching. 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. 5 You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do [the] work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry." 2Ti4

"Nobody seeing a creature evolved." Fruit flies speciating to the point where they can no longer breed together? Dog breeds? And the Bible can't be used as evidence in a debate about evolution. People 2000+ years ago had no idea of it's existence.
