Evolution and Darwin against Religion and God

[edwest211]

Do I amuse you? Apparently, I do. Now you are left with a mystery. Another ‘amusing’ thing. I answered the age of the earth/Universe question by quoting Catholic Answers many times. Apparently, those posts were ignored by some.

What things exactly are taking millions of years, and what things are happening quickly ?

Millions? The evolution of mammals from something like Tiktaalik.

Quickly? Finch beak variation, altitude adaptation in the Andes, Himalayas and East Africa (all three different), myxomatosis resistance in rabbits.

You do realise that there is a size limit on posts here?

Yeah… you probably hit that post size limit a long time ago.

So do you agree with the following statement from Catholic Answers?

‘In that light, scientists estimate the Earth to be 4.54 billion years old and the universe 13.8 billion years old.’

I don’t think you do. You take a more fundamentalist view. Could you confirm that?

Giving Up Darwin​

The religion is all on the other side. Meyer and other proponents of I.D. are the dispassionate intellectuals making orderly scientific arguments. Some I.D.-haters have shown themselves willing to use any argument—fair or not, true or not, ad hominem or not—to keep this dangerous idea locked in a box forever. They remind us of the extent to which Darwinism is no longer just a scientific theory but the basis of a worldview, and an emergency replacement religion for the many troubled souls who need one.

In other words: immense is so big, and tiny is so small, that neo-Darwinian evolution is— so far —a dead loss. Try to mutate your way from 150 links of gibberish to a working, useful protein and you are guaranteed to fail. Try it with ten mutations, a thousand, a million—you fail. The odds bury you. It can’t be done.

“Research on animal development and macroevolution over the last thirty years—research done from within the neo-Darwinian framework—has shown that the neo-Darwinian explanation for the origin of new body plans is overwhelmingly likely to be false—and for reasons that Darwin himself would have understood.”

A fond farewell to a brilliant and beautiful theory.
