Darwin or Design? Resolving the Conflict.

Still grasping at straws?

Re: 100 million year old bird.

I looked at the site this came from. The Institute for Creation Research sounds like a fair and unbiased place of "higher" learning to me.

They also claim the the Columbine school shootings were caused by the teaching of evolution. In another article, they quote Chuck Norris as an authoritative source on the validity of their conclusions regarding creationism.

well the first thing I saw brings up a good question. If we evolved from apes then why do we still have apes? seems pretty logical to me.

Chuck Norris can kick a bird so hard that it will evolve back into a dinosaur.

junior I love your avatar and saying "crank er up" that is great. :thumps:

I guess it would seem pretty logical if one's conception of evolution is merely "we evolved from apes" with little to no understanding of biology or genetics. Come on man, its not that simple, for either side! Design or Darwin...both sides push the limits of man's understanding, which brings me to my original comments that neither side should have a closed minded approach.

"Evolved from apes" is a rather simplified way of putting it. The way I understand it, we, along with modern apes, evolved from a form of ape-like animal that no longer exists. Some adaptations to environment went one way, while others went another way. Some didn't work out and died out, and others found a niche. Neanderthals were pretty damn close to us, but for some reason that were different enough so that they couldn't compete with us, and they are gone.

Chimps, gorillas, etc. also found niches where they could exist. Its not as if apes had to cease existing just because humans evolved a bit more successfully and have bigger brains. There is still a place for apes existing along side of us.

A "100 million year old bird"? How about a 100 million year old thread.

[Ironhed]

Just like jesus this thread came back from the dead

If every speck of shit from a supernaturally massive shart spun off an entire universe of its own, revolving around tabasco coated chunks of corn like a fiery sun, with the laws of astrophysics as we know it not being limited to size or volume or dimension, and the groups of E.coli on the 100 million specs of shit started their own civilizations, and mutated, and progressed and grew into mindful beings capable of destroying their own world on a daily basis in the name of that who sharted them for a fatter bank account...

...wouldn't you flush the f**king toilet?

A 100,000,000 year old bird fossil? And the tissue is still soft???? Sounds like the tissue is missing between the ears of the guys who wrote that stuff.
