    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    That’s a good question, and it gets to the heart of the issue. The problem isn’t with change itself, variation within species (microevolution) is well documented. But the leap to large-scale transformations (macroevolution) assumes that small changes, over enough time, naturally build into...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    I was not really wanting to continue debating evolution as it was going nowhere, taking too much time and people were not posting hard evidence. But sure, you're welcome to share examples. But please make sure they show real macroevolution: that is, one kind of creature turning into a...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    Wrong. Science is not the reason they go to atheism. It is the theory of evolution that is taught that they go to atheism. I have not studied Wittgenstein. When I tell the Gospel, I show the person that they have sinned against a righteous and holy God and that one day, they will have to give...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    For some, it is that they are doing stuff that God would not like and so they choose not to believe in Him. There are many videos where Ray Comfort ask atheists if the reason they choose not to believe is because they are doing something that God would not like. Here is just one:

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    Why would an atheist get angry over something that they do not believe exists? I have not seen any Christian on here claim to be self-righteous. In fact, you will find that Christians will admit that they are sinners. And to be honest, if I told you my past, I would be the worst on this thread...

    Agreed. We can all come to the foot of the cross in different ways. That is why I do not dismiss showing people the reality or hard truths. To not show them would be unloving.

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    You are correct. Many atheists do not have any inner pain. Some do, but many don't. The reason a lot of people proclaim to be atheists is that they are doing something that God would not like. Maybe sex outside of marrage or something like that. If they acknowledged that there was a God, they...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    It is showing the reality of truth. As I have pointed out in this thread, I do not like to water down the bible and I also do not like to water down the Gospel. One day, we will all be judged. Even Jesus often spoke scary things to bring people to repentance. Out of all the people in the bible...

    A good hint for you is to speed it up. I often watch things on YouTube like this in 1.75 speed, but if you want to take it all in, you may want to try 1.25. This way, you can get through more info in less time. Works a treat. Eventually, you will be able to speed it up faster and faster as your...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    Oh. I missed this. You were a Christian? So, did you know God personally and have a relationship with Him? If yes, then why did you reject the God you personally knew? To know that God is real and then to reject Him, knowing that when we die, we all give an account to Him, then that must be a...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    It’s unfortunate that, rather than engaging with the points I raised, your response is to question my reading speed and dismiss the critique altogether. Let me clarify I didn’t claim to master every technical nuance of that paper, nor did I need to in order to recognise the key assumptions...

    Sorry. I will answer this as you have posted it as 100% evidence. "Evolutionary origins of the blood vascular system and endothelium" (PMC5378490) While it’s informative, it also highlights several limitations that are worth pointing out: No Fossil Evidence – The authors admit there's no...

    You should have brought this evidence forward when you had the chance. Especially if there is lots of it. The fact that you didn't just shows how weak your view is.

    Sorry guys, but I think that for me, this thread has run its course. I have been struggling to keep up with answering all the posts, and for me, it is getting to the point of not being able to make enough time in the day to answer all of them. So, hope you enjoyed the discussion. I did. Blessing

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    I don’t need to have personally dissected the genome or run lab experiments to ask valid, critical questions. That's a diversion. Science welcomes scrutiny from anyone willing to think critically and engage with the evidence. If the only acceptable voices are those who’ve “done the work,” then...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    You're repeating the same flawed premise that arguments stand or fall based on the speaker’s credentials. That’s not how science works. If a claim is wrong, demonstrate why it’s wrong using logic and evidence, not by defaulting to, "You're not a professional." By that logic, no layperson could...

    Correct. You must be thinking that I am arguing so well that I should go to some science website and debate. Thanks. Here’s the concern: evolution, particularly the idea of death, struggle, and natural selection over millions of years before humans, raises serious theological questions. To...

    When Jesus said, “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female” (Matthew 19:4), He was directly addressing humans, not all living creatures. The context is a discussion on marriage and divorce, where He affirms the created distinction between male and female as the foundation...

    With respect, I don’t believe the claim that ID has ‘no explanatory power’ holds up. ID offers a positive framework: it infers that certain patterns, like specified, functional complexity, are best explained by an intelligent cause, just as we infer intelligence when we see code, language, or...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    Yes, intelligent design does make testable predictions. For example, that functional systems will exhibit specified complexity, that mutations will degrade function more often than improve it, and that truly novel, irreducibly complex systems will not arise through unguided processes. If we...
