Creation / Evolution.

What can you say that you know one thing about evolution?
Answers
Quite aside from anything else, you are still setting far too much store by the people who are speaking, and far too little by what they are actually saying. Evaluate the evidence for yourself, if you can -- what one PhD says, or a Professor, or even a Nobel Laureate or two, means nothing. They may be right or they may be wrong, but who they are is irrelevant to that....

//what kind of evidence for creation would you accept?//
Before naomi, myself or anyone else asks for creation evidence, we really would need to know what king of creationism you adhere to as there is no concensus among creationists. For instance are you a young Earther or old Earther, Was the universe literally created in 6 days or is 6 days a metaphor for billions of years. Was there a literal Garden of Eden with fully formed Homo Sapiens inhabiting it.
Evolutionary science is fairly consistent with what it says. Creationist cannot agree with each other even on the basics such as how old the earth is, 6 thousand years?, a few million?, Billions?

Naomi - OK.
Some of the evidence is concrete, substantive, other is less so but as far as I'm concerned nonetheless convincing.
First, I believe God created the universe.
A first and necessary uncaused cause.
Science has tried and failed to negate this.
Second, I believe God created life. Science has tried and failed to recreate life, and sometimes thinks it has come close, but it has failed.
Third, Darwinism is a total failure as far as I'm concerned. God made, "Kinds," and this has never been disproved.
More to come.

Theland, how can a first caused be uncaused? You are the first to suggest that everything has a first cause, but that all falls apart by your claim that God simply has always existed.
I am not a scientist, clearly. But even within our own lifetimes, we have all seen evolution in action. Antibiotics have become less and less effective, because bacteria mutate so that they can survive a "hostile environment". Basically, innoculating themselves and mutating around it. That has happened fast and we all know that. Why do you think that no other living organisms can do similar?

Theland .... you start with evolution and end up prattling on about salvation. You initiate thread after thread on the same subject but you never offer any rational answers. Unless you're willing to have an intelligent conversation and answer valid questions do us all a favour - keep your salvation to yourself and put a sock in it. It's becoming really tedious now.
