I come back to this question: if God really did create us via evolution from the apes, why didn’t He just tell us so? The Genesis account of creation is not a human eyewitness account that was divinely inspired; it was revealed by God as He was the only witness. It wouldn’t have been hard for God to just tell us that’s how we originated. After all, the book is called “Genesis.” If the Church was just so wrong on its understanding of sacred scripture for so long and it took the discoveries of a man from outside the Church for us to finally get it right, then what else has the Church gotten wrong? The Church would have no authority or infallibility.

The Roman Catholic Church has a considerable amount of historical involvement in Darwinism. A lot of people don't know that it was an RCC Priest (Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître) that came up with the big bang hypothesis. It was an RCC priest (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) that was directly involved in the fabrication of "Peking Man," a supposed transitional form between ape and man. And how many people know where Charles Darwin himself is buried? That is no coincidence. The RCC's ultimate goal is to get everyone under the "authority" of the papacy, and their Jesuitical Order has been very busy infiltrating the various epistemologies of the world to accomplish that end. Your comment is not a logical fallacy that begs the question, it is simply stating irrefutable fact and asking a question that is direct, important, and relevant to the stated fact.

The fundamental error of most people's understanding of evolution is the notion of inevitable progress. Progress is possible, but far from automatic, and if we are not careful, degeneration of a species may be more likely. And if we are so absorbed by this idea of natural progress, we may confuse such degeneration for that notion. True biological progress can only be achieved by careful engineering of the ecological pressures that the population is subjected to. But our hubris in these faulty assumptions by those who control this engineering process leads to that degeneration.

Its less random more of a mathematical chance for it to happen. New structures are found so rarely now its rather uncommon. All variations may have been found because its been done for so long the parameters may have been explored already. Its a very good simulation.

By your 'evidence' that contradicts with Catholicism, I'd assume its adaptation to circumstances, and how a genome can change to it circumstances. While true, we haven't seen this to a degree where that creature fundamentally changes from its current genus to a different genus. We have never, despite directly spurring on hyper accelerated "evolution" in Dogs and various flora, we have never seen these change fundamentally into a different genus. We've never been able to turn a Potato into something anything other than a potato; we've never seen a genus of dog, from all our Natural Genetic Modification from selective breed, become a unique animal that is distinguishable from a Dog. The fact is that we have essentially sped up the evolutionary clock for many species due to the selective breeding, and yet, we can still trace a genus, and the form of that plant within the wild is still compatible and still genetically similar to its wild counterpart. "Well give it more time." For example, if we remove the physical impossibility, a small dog can still breed with a wolf, and they are still distinguishable as canines.

Transposable elements were not supposed to cause adaptation. That's what evolutionists have insisted for decades. The evolutionary assumption was that junk DNA and transposons were trash accumulated over evolutionary history. So yes, transposable elements being used by the organism for adaptation does contradict evolution. The business of evolution is to explain how adaptation comes about, not how they are "selected". By the way, nothing in nature is "selected for". Because the evolutionary "theory" is just circular reasoning on top of circular reasoning, an evolutionist will try and adapt the theory to incorporate the new view on transposons. The only thing that evolves is the evolutionary theory.

What's great is that Darwinists claim to base their worldview on empirical observation of the natural world (a.k.a. naturalism). But when you actually apply empirical observation of the natural world you see the exact opposite of Darwinian evolution. Genetic information does not improve over time. The absolute best a person can be genetically, occurs at conception. From that point forward our genetic information is continually breaking down and decaying. This is empirically observable fact, and is revealed in the most obvious ways - grey hairs, wrinkles, etc. Darwinists must rely on cognitive dissonance and other logical fallacies (especially argumentum ad populum) to uphold their worldview.

It looks more like degradation to me. Here's how I see the world. The first plants and animals were created perfect. They not only had specific traits, but the potential for a vast variety within them. Each offspring manifested a slightly different potential from it's parents. But, with imperfection, not all traits are passed onto the next generation. So, if we take a much more recent example of this sort of thing, a wolf has a huge number of actual and potential traits, which allows them to fit in many environments. Dogs have much fewer traits, and each specific breed has fewer traits still. A wolf has the potential to be as small as a Chihuahua, or as big as a great Dane, but if you only had a population of Chihuahuas, you could never breed them into great danes. The population simply no longer has those traits. Not even in potential. The only way to get those traits is with a population of great danes. That is, a population that still actually had those traits. But, many populations are completely gone. Than animals and plants alive today are a pale reflection of what once was. And because there are no populations with those traits left, those primordial animals are just gone now. Currently species aren't more developed, so much as they are less diverse

I think the first step is delimiting clearly the object - whether the matter is biological, metaphysical.

I would say that creationism, both young and old, is a separate topic entirely than the earth being spherical or flat.

However, I would also say that creationists might be more vulnerable to be deceived by flat earth ideas. The reason is that when one rejects a mainstream idea it can be too easy and very tempting to not trust any mainstream idea. But that is an error in judgement. Every idea has to be tested by its own merit, not simply by whether it is mainstream or not. All reasonable factors should be considered.

In the beetle analogy, you aren't really selecting for green vs beige beetles, you're selecting for beetles who had the genes to cause them to be in a position where they could be trampled underfoot. If there is nothing else selecting against the remaining green beetles, then they will survive and their population may rebound.

A nerve becoming sensitive to light is not hard to produce. There are a number of naturally occuring light sensitive compounds, all that is needed is a protein capable of interacting with these compounds to trigger a confirmation change when the compound is excited by a photon, that in turn triggers an electrochemical signal known as the nerve firing.

You described the hardware, but you forgot that it requires software to interpret those signals which would have to coincidentally evolve at the same time. All you did was describe something that reacts to light, like a piece of film, but the question is WHO is going to interpret that signal and more importantly how?

A photon does not exist, scientists still do not understand what exactly light is but Tesla understood it is a medium disturbance with nothing physically travelling. How could anyone imagine mindless matter without thought or intent solved the processing of light to such a degree that it requires a hundred super computers to match the processing power utilised by the eyes.

Evolution is a biological fact the continues to this day. And will continue as long as life exists. So those who do accept what makes reasonable sense, are those who have chosen correctly. And it really does not take an expert biologists to see how the process works. If God is truly genuine, then it was he who enlightened Charles Darwin. And opened the eyes of so many to the truth about who and what we are.

Not sure why this was in my suggestion feed, but the answer is yes. Looking in the comments section I see a bunch of creationists, atheists, and a few emotional arguments. So here is an idea, open the Bible, read the first book of Genesis, go to a museum that has a good geology section which details the geologic history of the earth, start reading Genesis and follow along the geologic time line and maybe you'll see that yes the story of creation in the Bible is the same as the geologic timeline. The only issue those who try may encounter is time. Time itself is mailable, it warps due to gravity. The universe in a whole lot bigger than most people can wrap their minds around much less comprehend the enormous expanse of time it has been from our point in the universe from the Big Bang to us now. Does this limit God or throw God out? No. Genesis is the story of creation from someone looking on planet Earth out not from the Big Bang to Earth. Change your perspective, open you mind, and maybe the pieces will all make a bit more sense.

DemitriVladMaximov - no I’m not accusing you of atheism. I simply quoted Sir Francis Crick (one of the discoverers of the DNA double helix). He WAS an atheist but honest enough to admit that Spontaneous generation of RNA is impossible. The devil in the details of evolution is ABIOGENESIS. Forget about the absence of fossils. If a simple STRAND of Rna cannot form BY ITSELF, how could complex organisms form.??As Michael Behe puts it, the principle of “irreducible complexity” puts the lie to evolution. A mouse trap Can’t work unless at least five parts are perfectly aligned. For a living organism to have life MILLIONS of parts have to work perfectly. Darwin had ZERO knowledge of cell biology. None. Your assumption that I’m saying that since we can’t REPLICATE dna, it didn’t occur is not true. I’m saying, not just WE but NATURE can’t create dna SPONTANEOUSLY., and THAT is the Achilles heel of evolutionary believers. It CANNOT happen. Forget the absence of any documented evolution since 1850’s when Darwin came up with his untenable theory. As to your understanding of how the world was Millions of years ago, I wasn’t there.

@@Crusader33ad Absence of fossils? We have an abundance of fossils, radiometric age dating, and a geologic record. The fact Darwin may or may not have understood how cells and DNA work is completely irrelevant to him being able to see and demonstrate adaptive radiation and natural selection. We still are learning all the details of it and the fact we are still refining our understanding doesn't take away from the work Darwin did any more that the fact Nicholas Copernicus didn't have a full grasp of gravity takes away from the fact he proved the Earth revolves around the sun. Science isn't about what you know, it is about what your can discover and demonstrate repeatedly. One's personal beliefs, be they political or religious, are irrelevant to the scientific method. Would you ignore Gregor Mendel's work on genetics by proving dominant and recessive traits solely because of a private belief he had? Or would you toss out the theory of relativity just because Albert Einstein was Jewish? No because the scientific method doesn't care about the beliefs of the scientist, only is the experimental process being followed and is there data to support the claims made. So why don't you break open a geology textbook and open your mind to the idea that maybe this world is older, the universe is bigger, and God is even greater than you initially think.

DemitriVladMaximov - Fossil evidence of the missing link is just that- MISSING. Remember “Lucy”. Turned out to be a chimp and a hoax. There should be TRILLIONS of humanoid species. There are NONE. You should know that. Think about his. If evolution is valid, for the first human to be born, 2 apes had sex and gave birth to a dude. What did that first human say to his ape parents? I’m guessing “get your hands off me you damn dirty ape” ( cue the planet of the apes ). Again. Fossil evidence is zilch, nada , zero, nichevo. Would you tell me the species of ape JUST PRECEDING MAN?? Could the ape type? Cmon man. By the way, I have 2 degrees in science and have studied evolution ( or the lack thereof) all my life. Even Richard Dawkins knows he can’t keep the hoax of evolution going Your reference to Mendel, etc are bordering on fallacy as they have NOTHING to do with evolutionary “science”. In fact their science is NOT the fable of the evolutionists, but provable. Evolution is not. By the way, you NEVER rebutted Sir Francis cricks math. Would you please try? If you can’t, game over for the evolution fairy tale.

@@gibbonstarfish1127 I agree. As a system developer for 25 years, I know about code. And I know one thing 100% - you never do wholesale system development based on random "mutation" or changes. You can perhaps utilize random changes in a particular search function, thus "controlled random search" has its place in programming, but of course, it would be ridiculous to base everything on this method. The funny thing about computers and code is that you could easily simulate a program on the size of the DNA and then mutate its "offspring" to see if anything happened. This way you could fast forward generations of changes like no biological experiment. It would disprove the idea in approx 10 sec. After two, ten, or hundred generations - no offspring would be able to run (=alive). And of course, no new function would arise. Everyone knows this if they have any sense. It's not that I couldn't believe in evolution if the DNA was let's say 1KB of code - in other words if life was a relatively simple thing, where "most changes" actually worked. Darwin was excused in believing so. However, we now know better. The DNA is 750 MB of code. Life is incredibly complex, my programs are laughable in comparison. So "evolution" must come up with a new technique to explain the changes. It cannot be random changes. I believe it must be intelligence.

We know that random changes destroy useful information, and we actively use this knowledge in the IT industry. The best way to clean information from a disk is to "bit wipe" it but that can take time and be more expensive, so using software that "scrambles" the data is often more cost effective.
