The fossil record proves they lived and died DUHHHH...
homeruhh
Now tell me who wrote their billion bio-molecular digital DNA amino assembly codes and redeem yourself from professor Darwin's dismal science fiction, mutation makes it better abyss.
 Quoting: Spur-Man


Yes, they lived and died. Very good. But why are they arranged in this pattern and why don't they overlap? Is it just a coincidence? Do you know for certain they aren't transitional?

"Now tell me who wrote their billion bio-molecular digital..."

I'm not sure they were written. Was your genetic code written or is it a combination of your parents?
 Quoting: DGN

1. "they don't overlap", very good see what you deny learning?
2. 'Was your genetic code written or is it a combination of your parents?", tell me you're joking.
 Quoting: Spur-Man


I don't understand what you're saying. They don't overlap. All the equines dated to 30 million years ago are the size of dogs and they have three toes. As we move forward through the fossil record these equines disappear and are replaced by progressively larger, hoofed, modern equines. Do you have an explanation for this? How do you know they aren't transitional?

"2. 'Was your genetic code written or is it a combination of your parents?", tell me you're joking."

Of course it's not a joke. Your parents produced gamete cells that contained half of their genetic material. These gametes combined and mutated to produce your genetic code. This is basic biology.

No this is Frankenstein horror nightmare science fiction. Even Frankie didn't mutate into the monster, he was made of recycled junk parts.

"They don't overlap"?
 Quoting: DGN


Yes, as in we don't find them in the same time period. Can you think of a reason for this?

The lowest is from about 30 million years ago (Late Eocene). We don't find any of the upper ones existing at this period. The top one is a modern Equine (possibly horse), we don't find any of the lower equines coexisting with modern ones. See what I'm saying?
 Quoting: Spur-Man

No so what?
 Quoting: DGN


I'm asking you why we see this. One appears, then it's gone and replaced by a slightly different one. Then that one is gone, and it's replaced by a slightly different one, and so on.

Why do we see this pattern? How do you know they aren't transitional?
 Quoting: Spur-Man


There are zero transitional fossils between them but it may be better for you to pretend that proves there are so you can rejoice in the opportunities the Church of Evolution promises.

Why do all the equines in the fossil record become progressively more like modern equines when arranged by age? They don't overlap, we never find them out of order. They clearly look transitional, will you at least admit that?

No there is zero reason to pretend their cells suffered massive mutation or they would have devolved to death as all life does. They look like they were deliberately created in precision form and function in sequence, as proven by their DNA cell assembly blueprints.

 Quoting: DGN


There's nothing about those fossils that 'looks like' they were spontaneously created from nothing. They look like equines, which means they were born, they had parents. We observe populations change over time, we don't observe brand new animals appearing by magic.

Everyone is born with mutations. I've already told you this. Most mutations are harmless. Some result in a change of pigment, or size, or behavior. This is how new dog breeds are made. Massive mutation will likely kill you, but just a handful of small mutations each generation can cause gradual change.

You think they were created in sequence? As in God made one animal, then it died, so he made a slightly different animal, then it died, and so on? Over the course of 30 million years?

Yes every species was deliberately specifically created "according to is't kind", with range for varieties, dirt never spontaneously assembles cells which come alive and mutate into anything at all, never been observed just a great hoax on the simple minded who prefer it that way.

Humans can't even create one living cell
 And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” 23 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day.
24 And God went on to say: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it came to be so. 25 And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good." Ge1;20

DGN, the book of Genesis says that plants were created before the sun. YOU believe in 'before-plants' that didn't require the sun, and used 'some other' energy.

And by the way, the dark ages were before Darwin. Back when Christians said the earth was flat and burnt people alive for disagreeing.
 Quoting: Spur-Man


plants were created the day before the sun
not bazillions of years before

and guess what
it still works like that

all plants come up out of the ground in the night
and grow during the night

what's that phrase again

> look what sprung up over night
 Quoting: Red John


Tell DGN that, he believes those 6 days were each thousands of years.

I have a question though, why did God take multiple days to make the Earth, but then it only took 1 day to create all the stars in the universe?
 Quoting: Spur-Man

Stars including the sun were created long before the earth.

DGN.. if you want an honest discussion on your part about evolution, you need to understand the basics.

I read the JW Creation book as a kid. It was one of my favorites, but as I got older I learned it is full of deliberate misrepresentations.

Spend 57 minutes watching this video from a biologist. You'll see how silly a lot of your arguments against evolution are.

While we are awaiting your contribution concerning the coelacanth, why is it, that a process that led to every living organism on this planet, somehow, you need to point out fossils?

Isnt 'evolving' something that living organisms 'do'?
Could you for the sake of argument give 10 solid observations of this 'evolution' occurring?

Which species are evolving right now sir?
Could you make some predictions while you are at it, clearly you are very much educated and can give us some pointers.

Just zero fossil trails of any species ever having turned into a better one? Why do you scientifically suppose that is?
 Quoting: DGN


Actually yes there is! There’s a large trail of fossils from fish to amphibian (which you could look up online!)

While we are awaiting your contribution concerning the coelacanth...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


It's been 80 years since a living coelacanth was discovered. Before that, people thought they were extinct, and some people suspected they represented a group of fish that led to tetrapods. 80 years ago. Get over it.

why is it, that a process that led to every living organism on this planet, somehow, you need to point out fossils?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


Do you have a better way to examine the anatomy of long extinct animals? No? I didn't think so.

Isnt 'evolving' something that living organisms 'do'?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


It's something that living populations do. An individual organism doesn't evolve

Could you for the sake of argument give 10 solid observations of this 'evolution' occurring?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


Why do you always ask for an arbitrary number of examples? just 1 example is enough to demonstrate a point. Here's an article I found on Google in 10 seconds.

Which species are evolving right now sir?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


Pretty much all.

Could you make some predictions while you are at it, clearly you are very much educated and can give us some pointers.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77301333


Sure. New strains of microbial and multi-cellular life will appear in response to changing environmental stresses.

Every fossil we discover will fit consistently into the sequence that life is supposed to have emerged according to phylogeny. ie, we will never discover bird fossils older than the first dinosaurs.

Every new species we discover (excluding genetically engineered ones) will fit consistently into the sequence that life is supposed to have emerged according to phylogeny.

When we examine a new species, its genetic sequence (including endogenous retroviral DNA) will align most closely with species with which it shares the most taxonomic ranks. ie, if we discover a new species of lemur, it will share more ERVs with humans than it does with birds.

One moment.

You are now saying individual organisms do not evolve but populations do evolve.

Aren't populations groups of individual organisms?

But you state individual organisms don't/can't evolve, so how can a population evolve if all individuals don't/can't evolve?

Your other example is just more of the same. New strains of microbial and multi-cellular life will evolve into more of the same microbial and multi-cellular life no matter what external stresses are applied.

Re: Professor Darwin's dark ages Sci-Fy Cult of 'Evolution', how did plants live before photosynthesis evolved?
So God just thought "Hey, I better throw in some photosynthesis or these poor green plants I created will all wilt and die. I almost blew it."
Just don't make anything up.

photosynthesis came before plants.
