I am looking for an answer to the question of how living things, including
ourself, came into existence?
darwinism and Evolution? or creation?
here we go?

      I myself do not believe that Evolution accounts for the origin of humankind.

      Or any other kind for that matter.

        wow, it is quite fuzzy sometime to make definition to revolution, that trus I
        do not believe this example like:
        "Giraffes had evolved from antelope-like animals who extended their necks
        further as they tried to reach higher branches for food"
        so that mean darwinism theory was fake, who knows?

          According to Darwin’s theory we are descendants of apes. If so, I choose the
          baboon as my ancestor.

          In many ways, they are very similar to people. Like human parents, adult baboons
          tend to newborns around the clock.

          Baboons live in well-organized troops, and the individual is only secure within
          his own troop. Large, dominant males (kings) rule the group and are responsible
          for keeping order between quarrelsome members and for protecting the group from
          predators.

          Scientists discovered that only baboons (except humans) have the ability of
          abstract thinking.

          They are able to grieve for their family members the way which is unknown to
          other species.

          Baboons Protest Road Killings
          According to a report from BBC Uganda, a group of baboons in eastern Uganda
          staged a public “sit-in” after a speeding truck killed a female from their
          troupe. The grieving baboons surrounded her body in the middle of the road and
          refused to move for 30 minutes, blocking the highway completely. Even when
          passersby tried to tempt them away with food, the baboons refused to leave their
          deceased family member.

          Last year, another group of baboons threw sticks and stones at passing cars
          after a baby baboon from their troupe was killed on the same road..

          And this Lucky Baboon (together with the one who tried to help him) should be
          put on the List of XX century heroessmile))

          If the example you gave were the case, then Lamarck could come back with all
          things forgiven.

        "The twentieth century was one of the darkest and most deadly in all of human
        history. Vast amounts of blood were poured and people subjected to the most
        terrible fear. Such dictators as Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Idi Amin inflicted
        genocide on millions. Hitler had those whom he regarded as “useless"
        exterminated in the gas chambers. Hundreds of thousands of people in many
        Western countries—from Great Britain to Germany, from the USA to Sweden—were
        compulsorily sterilized or left to die just for being sick.

        All over the world, people were oppressed and exploited because of ruthless
        competition.

        Racism became the ideology of certain states, and some races were not even
        regarded as human at all. Because of the conflicts and hot and cold wars
        between East and West, the peoples of communist and capitalist countries, and
        even brothers, became one another's enemies."

          It certainly is. Once humans got the idea that they were another sort of
          animal, they started treating each other that way as never before.
          • szahtut Discrimination in darwinism's theory 25.09.06, 22:03
            In order to demonstrate that women were "inferior," some evolutionist
            scientists sought to prove that they had smaller brain capacities. Some
            resorted to such humiliating and illogical methods as measuring women's skulls.
            They imagined that the greater the size of the brain, the more advanced the
            level of intelligence (which is now known to be invalid), compared their
            skulls, and declared the women to be inferior. This was actually one of the
            unscientific methods referred to in Darwin's book.

            what the hell, those people were Jakeass,

            Measuring people's skulls and classifying them according to race and gender has
            been totally invalidated by science, since skull and brain size have nothing to
            do with intelligence or mental capacity.

      here we go. For once the subject is in line with my education. I do believe
      partially in evolution (it takes hell a lot os years to get this giraffe necks
      elongated but it sould be done I suppose) and all that stuff. But all is fine
      till we come to inteligence (monkey vs human). I cannot imagine somehow such a
      big step happening at once.... where are this forms in between??? So I do think
      there was somebody (?), something (?) like (genetic or other) manipulation,
      integretion, kind of controlled experiment.
      About monogamy, it makes me feel upleasent but unfortunately it is not natural.
      I mean I hate the idea of people cheating etc, but from biological point of
      view monogamy is not prefered. the more crossing between subjects the better
      mixing of genetic material and more adaptable next generation. I mean the good
      examples are very small closed populations that do not mix with anyone else.
      more and more genetic mistakes occurs until they died out or became sterile.

      so that is my point of view

        My dear,
        In my opinion, first thing we should think about it is why Monkeys still
        monkeys? like babone!, in other words let go to the origin of the species and
        fossil and read between the lines of the history.

        Scientific evidence could be a answer;

          I think the brain of some species developed faster than the others.
          The smarter ones ruled the group while the others took it low and slow.
          The law of nature is, the strongest/ brainiest wins. That's why I believe that
          some sort of clever ape gave the beginning to the human kind. No corruption.

            I do not beleive the existance of kind of mechanisms in nature which lead the
            living beings to evolve. so let ask a question like: do living species came
            into existence as the result of an evolutionary process? in other words "human
            evolution"theory story is true or false?.

            regarding:"I think the brain of some species developed faster than the others.
            > The smarter ones ruled the group while the others took it low and slow.

            corruption",
            since man has a sociable nature, he can not live alone, and of course he
            couldn't forget his ancestors "Apes" without participating in thier evolution
            and of course the "Apes" would disappare forever, however, nowadays,the "Apse"
            still existing in this world.

            fossil could prove or would not that our ancestors were "Apes";

              Dear Szahtut,

              We may not agree on a number of issues regarding the value of Islam, but you
              are quite correct in saying that there is no mechanism in nature that enables a
              Kind, or true genus, to change into another one, other than by the process of
              decay and corruption. It is written that "God created them after their Kinds",
              and the most we see within a Kind is diversification into species (called
              speciation) which takes a long time, and also diversification into races.

              The place at which these things cut off, in accordance with modern creation
              science, is that two races within a species can freely interbreed and will if
              they meet, and they will produce fertile, vigorous offspring. Two species
              within a genus can be brought to breed, but either their offspring will be
              infertile or have other problems, such as genetic defects that do not allow
              them to live long enough to reproduce further, or will lack vigour. Sometimes
              there is also technical speciation because of a physical barrier, such as size.
              Chihuahuas and great danes are not really different species, but the size
              differential prevents it effectively and where we have wild species having
              similar barriers, (such as certain livebearing fishes with either left or right
              pointing gonopodiums) we would already be talking about technical speciation.

              Nevertheless, with help, some offspring, however unviable, will occur in
              pairings within a genus. The help I refer to is only mechanical help such as
              artificial without direct physical interference in the DNA.

              If pairings between animals are only possible when you play about with their
              DNA, then these animals, or plants, are in a separate genus or Kind. And of
              course, we shouldn't actually be doing that. It will end in tears of
              unfathomable sadness.

              No genus is ever known to have given risen to a new one by the addition of
              fresh information. In the known cases where one genus has under observed
              conditions given rise to a new one, it is by decay.

              The classic case of this is the cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks, whose German
              born physician, cut out of her and cultured contrary to medical ethics without
              her informed consent (she was black, and in those days they did not consider it
              worthwhile asking a black woman what she thought about decisions made
              concerning her own body) in order to examine them and try to find a cure, which
              then changed in his laboratory to become a separate species of unicellular
              organism called Helacyton gartleri, which exists in various universities to
              this day.

              We know Helacyton is a genus derived by decay and corruption from human cells,
              but what medical science in its bondage to evolutionary thought refuses to
              acknowledge is how many bacteria and viruses are nothing but rogue human cells
              which have taken on a life of their own.

              They need for bacteria to have evolved in order for evolution to be true.
              Otherwise the missing link between nothingness and multicellular animals would
              be too great to countenance. They indeed posit that the entire change from the
              system of anaerobic life to aerobic life took plave only in blue-green algae
              and bacteria, that they are all there was at that time.

              But it is utter nonsense, as an organism is either aerobic or anaerobic. If you
              introduce oxygen into the system of an anaerobic bacterium, it dies.

              Also it is clear that viruses could not have evolved from lower forms of life,
              as they cannot reproduce without higher cells. They are rogue DNA from higher
              cells which became motile, and went on to become their own organism.

              Science was aware of this before eveolutionary politically correctness silenced
              them. In fact, it was originally thought that the sperms of a human being were
              a separate animal that did us the service of carrying our seed. That is why
              they were first termed "spermatozoans" or "seed animals" a termed gone into
              disuse seeing that they themsleves have no life of their own, and will not
              survive long outside the parts of the body made for them, however, sometimes
              they do go independent, and do the Lacks thing, which accounts for the fact
              that there are micro-organisms that you will find in ponds and rivers which
              propel themselves with a tail in the way that the sperm of higher animals do.
              These things didn't evolve, they disevolved from higher animals.

              There is a strong correlation between the number of species in a genus and
              generational life, in all warm-blooded animals. If you trace back those lines
              of correlation through time, you get to an intersection at a point about 8000
              years ago - the time of the Genesis Flood.
    • ianek70 Re: evolution or something else 01.10.06, 16:43
      Natural selection occurs, and species evolve. This is a fact. People are much
      taller than they were 500 years ago.
      So, over the course of millions of years, one species can evolve so much that
      it has to be considered a different one.

      The same principle applies to languages, but they develop much more quickly.
      Nobody ever forced the citizens of Rome to start speaking a new language, their
      speech developed gradually over the years, passed on down the generations.
      Italian and Latin are completely different languages, but there was never a
      single moment in time when people suddenly realised they couldn't understand
      their parents and decided that since Tuesday they'd been speaking Italian and
      not Latin.

      Can current knowledge about evolution adequately explain how inorganic matter
      originally became life? Did it happen suddenly, then gradually spread? Or was
      it a slow process, lasting hundreds, thousands or millions of years? Scientists
      can speculate. They can speculate about anything, but can't prove everything.
      Nobody has ever proved the existence of any of the thousands of deities our
      neighbours or ancestors have worshipped.
      Scientists devote a lot of effort to researching the existence of life on other
      planets, so why don't they try to discover if God exists?

      Evolution, although generally (if not uncritically) accepted, is still
      considered a theory because nobody can prove with 100% certainty that something
      is true if it happened a long time ago. I can't prove that Neil Armstrong stood
      on the moon, because I wasn't born in 1969, but that doesn't mean it's not
      true. There's a lot of evidence to support it.

      Even if it were possible to prove that life (on Earth, at least) could not have
      begun because of simple chemistry, that is not acceptable evidence of
      supernatural intervention. And even if real evidence of such intervention could
      be found, there is no proof that any supernatural being exists who could have
      intervened.

      The evidence for completely chemical-based biological evolution is incomplete
      and sometimes debatable, but the evidence to support any of our ancestors' many
      creation myths simply does not exist.

        Natural selection occurs and animals do speciate. That is an observable fact.

        This is not necessarily a genetic issue, but one of diet and general health.

        If natural selection is all about getting bigger, then we might well ask why
        animals used to be bigger than they are now, according to the fossil record.

        Also, see www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfsCWrv_GCk for an argument that
        having big people is counter-evolutionary anyway.

        ??? How did you get from a to b on that one? It doesn't take millions of years
        for an animal to speciate. It takes a certain number of iterations. That is why
        there are few species in genera of animals with long generational periods, such
        as elephants, rhinoceroses, hippoes, etc, and many more species in animals with
        short generations, such as rodents and bats. This corresponds to the number of
        generations of them there has been since the flood. And this speciation, as I
        defined it earlier, takes in fact very little time, but doesn't necessarily
        lead on to further genera emerging, as no fresh data enters the gene pool, only
        a refinement of genes that were already there. The tall genes before squeezed
        out the smaller genes, but both were there already - nothing new happened.

        That is more true than you know, that analogy. Languages likewise do not
        evolve, but simplify. It's certainly true that more words appear, and this is
        because human history and experience is relatively much longer now than it was
        at the time of the Roman empire. Nevertheless, people still do not like to
        invent most words but always rehash them from older languages.

        So for example we have butter from Germanic Buter, which comes from Ancient
        Greek byteros, which itself came from a Scythian word, and no doubt the
        Scythians took that word from another language, and you could probably trace
        the word back to one of the several thousand individuals' one-man languages
        that ran away from the Babel event.

        Almost every word can be traced back. People feel silly about dreaming up words
        from nothing. What does happen though is that language simplifies -
        international words appear, the number of cases and tenses and separate endings
        reduce. You talk of Latin, it has 6 cases. PIE had 8. In the Vulgate latin
        loses its cases and you are left with 4 in Romanian and Moldavian, and a
        maximum of three in any of the others, but pretty much limited to pronouns.

        And if we get on to the questions of how language came about in the first place
        then you will find no linguist has so far posited a model that is better than
        pure science fiction.

        It cannot. If you actually look at what is necessary to make the very simplest
        viable life unit in terms of a strand of DNA in a semi-permeable cell wall, the
        chances of getting the massive string of atoms to line up in an appropriate
        order is so vanishingly small that the odds against it dwarfs the actual number
        of atoms in the known universe.

        It is a fools' fairy tale that life could have come of a chance meeting of
        chemicals, with no intelligence helping them in a powerful, intrusive,
        deliberate and designing way.

        True, but here, you see, they don't have to. According to the Christian model
        God won't prove himself as he justifies in the basis of faith, which pretty
        much leaves us in trouble if he does prove himself. It means he would need to
        test our faith in other ways, and I for one don't fancy going through the test
        of a Job or an Abraham, who had to have their faith tested on that level
        because they knew jolly well that there was a Creator and anyone seriously
        suggesting the contrary in the days when most men had seen miracles would have
        been dismissed as unserious or mad.

        The evangelical Christian and the conservative Catholic likewise would say they
        already know he exists, and are already doing all they can to deny that he
        exists. Why can't they manage it? In deductive reasoning, as expounded by
        Arthur Conan Doyle in the mouth of Sherlock Holmes, if you cannot disprove
        something it must be true.

        Evolutionists take pretty much on faith that this time even existed. I have no
        reason to believe that the earth is more than 10,000 years old.

        It was created mature, and endured the catastrophes of Flood, Asswaging, and
        division of continents each mentioned in the early chapters of Genesis as well
        as in Sumerian literature, and in various aboriginal traditions from around the
        world.

        That is why some scientists, even one Nobel Prize winner, have seriously
        posited panspermia, which means that they think life was seeded on this planet
        from another planet. That is an acknowledgement from the minds that understand
        these things of the enormity of the proposition that life here could have come
        from the inanimate, but all it serves to do is to remove the question as to
        where we came from into the realm where further questioning is impossible ("it
        all happened on some other planet, so don't ask") and make us shut our mounths.
        Any nonsense will do, as long as it isn't the Biblical account, and atheists
        are ready to acknowledge that they know nothing about how these questions can
        be answered, but one thing they know of a certainty, and that is it can't have
        been God. And all because the lady doesn't love that particular Milk Tray, and

          That broke off. Here's the end bit. Thankfully I had it saved as I was
          expecting that to happen, noticing it was getting rather long ...:

          You will find that this is not the case, it exists well enough, but there is a
          consensus in the scientific community to ignore it, ridicule it, and blot it
          out. There is a book in Polish called "Pomylka Darwina" which is in the shops,
          or if you prefer there are links on my website (bottom left) to places where
          there are learned rebuttals of all the evolutionists' claims against the Bible.
          You will see it just under the button that links to this forum on my homepage.

          You may also note that a challenge to scientists I left here:

          groups.google.com/group/Creation-Acceptance

          has gone unanswered for about 5 months now. I also asked 12 questions of a
          leading Usenet skeptic David W. showing loopholes in evolution and he could not
          answer in a convincing way a single one of them, even though I asked them
          following on from his challenge to take on "the action" of any discussion of
          evolution from creationists.

          But in the end it is a false premise to put on a level playing field for the
          purposes of empirical support one philosophy that says "I must be based on
          observable evidence" (science) and another that says "I will accept that which
          I inherit from revelation or tradition" (religion/faith)(I am borrowing heavily
          from Bertrand Russell here, ironically enough). Science only lives when proven,
          faith dies when proven. So if we say we believe in evolution when it cannot be
          demonstrated empirically and there are counterarguments to each and every one
          of its claims, can we say, in this case, that evolution is science or just
          another faith-based philosophy?

            So any kind of debate about religion is a total waste of time.
            Rational people say: I believe this because it seems to be true (or probably
            true) because there is at least some evidence, it is logical and consistent
            with other things which are proven or accepted to be true, or which I have
            observed, but I could be wrong, I'm open minded.
            Religious people say the opposite: This is true because I believe it. No ifs,
            no buts, no maybes, I personally believe this and my opinions are worth more
            than other people's so I don't need proof, logic, common sense or any of that
            other PC bollocks.

            Religion has built in double-standards.
            Superstitious folk can believe in the observable and logical when it suits
            them, but sensible, rational people tend not to suddenly justify things by
            blaming the supernatural. I would never say to an employer, "Sorry I'm late,
            bloody demons holding up the traffic again".
            If a devout Christian gets drunk on a Saturday night, does he say "I remember
            nothing at all about last night, I simply know I was rat-arsed, it's a question
            of faith."?
            Does he think, "Hmm, no beer left in the fridge, there's a kebab in my pocket,
            I've got the phone number of someone called Wee Brenda Fae The Baur written in
            lipstick on a beermat, my head hurts like buggery and I feel like there's a
            badger in mouth. But such circumstantial evidence proves nothing, I believe I
            spent last night at home doing crosswords, and that the Lord has sent these
            shaking hands, smelly breath and vomit-stained trousers to test my faith. For
            which I thank him."?

              In his book "The Descent of Man, 1871" Darwin claimed that human beings
              and “Apes” descended from a common ancestor. From that time, the followers of
              Darwin tried to support his claim by any concrete scientific evidence,
              especially the fossil evidence.

              Dr David Pilbeam, a Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:
              If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the
              meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there isn't enough to go
              on."
              www.creationism.org/books/sunderland/DarwinsEnigma/DarwinEnigmaCvrBackLg.jpg

              Darwin claimed that modern human beings evolved from some kind of “Ape-like=
              Australophithecines” ancestor, during evolutionary process which is considered
              to have started from 5 to 6 million years ago.

              Recently, it was proved that Australopithecus cannot be considered as ancestor
              of man, and it has been accepted by evolutionist sources. The famous French
              popular scientific magazine “Science et Vie” made the subject the cover of its
              May 1999 issue. Under the headline "Adieu Lucy= Goodbye Lucy". Lucy being the
              most important fossil example of the species Australopithecus. “the magazine
              reported that apes of the species Australopithecus would have to be removed
              from the human family tree”.

              The philosophical skepticism is an important key of science, it is based on the
              idea that scientific development is possible only through doubting.
              If science is based on skepticism, then in the same manner, they believed that
              chanceor luck brought everything into being, so Darwinists should also allow
              the possibility that everything is created by God. Since skepticism is
              indispensable in science, then they should give right that <50%> possibility,
              that God created living things.

              it is possible that you beleive that God exist, but you have no faith and vise

          It is true that the main reasons why materialist support Darwinism with such

          The former president of the American Association Charles Smith for the

            I think that Darwinism is not equal to atheism. It was invented by a theist,
            and there are theists around the world who simply think that's how God did it.
            I beg to differ. I think God has told us in the Book how He actually did it.

            The issue is that Darwinism is very atheist-enabling, once you take it with al
            of its plug-ins like huge amounts of space and time that nobody can objectively
            prove ever really happened. It enables the universe, or our perception of it,
            not to stand in need of a creator.

            It has massive holes in it such as the inability to explain the beginnings of
            life, as well as dozens of other issues that are serious flaws in it, but there
            are a lot of people who lap up the idea that there is a theory (they usually
            say a scientific theory, totally ignoring the fact that evolution is not
            science, but philosophy, even by Bertrand Russell, the noted atheist's view, as
            expounded in the introduction to his History of western Philosophy). People
            have a desire to disbelieve in God so that they can go ahead and do what they
            like without feeling guilty, and so they are not gonna look a gift horse in the
            mouth by actually studying the things that show how evolution is a load of
            nineteenth century baloney.
