"Imagine the look on Noah's face when his sons flew in for a landing with a pair of Hippos strapped to the back of one of them things! Glory to God!"

"Those must have been some mighty big flying dinosaurs," says Pastor Deacon Fred.

No No No. Dinosaur is a scientific term not used in the bible.
The correct nomenclature is "Jesus Horses".

blaspheming science devils.

As ridiculous an explanation as this sounds, how is the idiotic theory that humans mutated from pond scum any less ridiculous?

Mutated or evolved? I've meet some people that remind me quite a bit of pond scum so maybe there's something to that . . .

HondaGalToo · 06-20-2005, 5:36 PM

So, what happened to the dinosaurs? Wouldn't fit on the ark?

uh-oh

When you consider that some bacteria can multiply and reproduce every few minutes, and multiply that by a few thousand years, and consider that certain traits in certain bacteria will be more successful than others, that's a pretty solid example of evolution.

In only about 75 years certain bacteria have already evolved a resistance to antibiotics; given a few billion years, I don't see the transformation from pond scum to humans as being very ridiculous at all.

Moved to the Religion forum, cause, well, cause.

BDA116 · 06-20-2005, 5:38 PM

Both words essentially mean the same thing - to change. Either way, both theories sound crazy, it's just a matter of which one a person wants to believe.
But yeah, there are those that make one consider the pondscum scenario. A few here come to mind.

Evolution is not a "belief" you bucket of pond scum.

Neither is Creationism, you pond of bucket scum....yeah.

Macro vs. Micro Evolution posted this here link just because...

Quote:

Evolutionists, however, have expanded the model to suggest the origin of the universe, the origin of life from non-life, the origin of amphibians from fishes, the origin of birds from reptiles, and so on. Scientists have many theories of the mechanisms behind macro-evolution, but none of them have any direct evidence. The theories are merely extrapolations from what can be seen on the smaller scale.

This extrapolation is scientifically unjustified. The underlying logic behind this premise is similar to plotting the fastest times man has run the mile over the years, and then predicting that someday man will run a two or three-minute mile. Anyone realizes that there are limits to valid extrapolation. Likewise, Darwinian macro-evolution is undergoing tremendous scrutiny in scientific circles because of the lack of evidence.

My high school biology teacher (ironically a devout Christian) used that argument to support creationism. His position was that the evolution that's obvious to us is "little e evolution" and that the development of an entirely new species (big E evolution) was implausible. I don't see how this supports creationism, but I understand the argument.

The "big E" or "macro" evolution is harder to support with direct evidence, but it doesn't seem at all unrealistic to me. We're talking billions of years here. We're also talking billions of species. And some of them are barely distinguishable from one another. Look at the creatures that inhabit the Galapagos islands... all those millions of years of isolation have brought about entirely unique species not found anywhere else in the world.

Why is evolution that is "helped" by God never thought about? I also think people need to grow up about the whole "6 days to create the Earth" thing. It is pretty easy for me to imagine, and I'm pretty dumb, that God, as an eternal being, would consider millions of our years worth about a day.

I hardly beleive the Earth is 6000 years old, and that everything was created in 6 literal days, but I also think to imagine our universe without seeing the possibilty of a creator (God) is just as crazy...

Anyone?

I've always thought that people just used religion/god to explain the things that they couldn't understand. Seems to me as science advances and we learn more about ourselves, the role of religion keeps getting smaller.

Every thought about this? How could days be measured before the earth rotated? What is time? How did expansion early in creation effect they way we percieve it in relation to time looking backwards? These questions have puzzled men since the days of St. Augustine and no one has been able to completely answer them yet 1700+ years later.

Interesting thought experiment I guess, but earth has always rotated so it's a pointless question. Physicists have proven the earth is slowing down though.

Quote:

What is time?

A construct by man to measure something. Same as a "meter". Only, at least the whole world agrees on hours/minutes/seconds unlike other units.

Now, the fact we are "time travelling" by compressing time ever so slightly every time we move is the more interesting part.

The 4th dimension in measuring relativity? I'm way out of my league here...

Just the fourth dimension in general.

We had time long before the theory of relativity was dreamt up.

Relativity basically deals with the fact these dimensions are "bendable" ie "the curvature of space-time".
