Ok lets forget about newton, for it has nothing to do with discussion.
You claimed that since Darwin said his theory would stand or fall on fossil evidence that evolution has failed to meet its burden of proof.
I can only imagine you must be unaware of the amount of fossils there are, you must also fail to understand the significance of unique character combinations. However that aside your missing one KEY point. Darwin lived 150 years ago, the theory of evolution has not only progressed 10 fold in that time, but so has the evidence that supports it. Even if there were NO fossils, the evidence we do have still overwhelmingly supports evolution.
In short to claim we should still judge a theory by the understanding we had 150 years old is pretty obtuse to say the least. As knowledge advances so does understanding, education is a GOOD thing

Hi Charles,
Great, post I feel like we can have an intelligent conversation based on this. Only trouble is I’m not feeling all that serious about this right now. Oh well, I’ll do my best to respond. Oh Yes, and I also agree with your statement above that you are only imagining that I haven’t studied the fossil records, but that’s not at all surprising. I’ve been on many other forums with many other embroiled in zealous evolution mantra who came in with an attitude that anyone who believed God made the universe was a dunce that couldn’t speak in complete sentences, never mind have a dialog about science.
Anyhow let’s get past all that and have an honest conversation about truth claims. I’ll keep it lighthearted and humorous and hope it will not offend. I am totally aware that evolutionists have been stating there are macro transitional forms in the fossil record for years. But how shall I say this kindly - not many scientists I’m aware of have ever exactly been awed by a single one of those claims;
They just don’t - well they honestly just don’t seem to measure up to the discoveries and advances that we’ve made in the real sciences like physics and chemistry and biology. To me the evolutionist thing has always been alot like the psych classes I was forced to take. I could get a good grade by just parroting what I read as pearls of wisdom but to tell you the truth I never put an ounce of faith that one of those egotistical windbags I studied could ever answer anything for me. And when I looked at their real lives? Man, what a mess those guys were. To me this was and always has been fledging science; the fringes of half truths; alchemy before real chemistry was discovered. I might just as well have been taking courses in voodoo and majoring in smoke and mirrors. Hey but that’s my low opinion and there’s alot of good men and women engaged in that pursuit - I just don’t believe there’s any substitute for loving people and praying for them.
Oh well but maybe now we’ve all heard about Ida the 47 million year old completely intact fossil whom they claim was a cat sized primate - the missing link :whacky: in the fossil record.
Shouts of 'Eureka! We’ve found it!" “**Finally, we’ve got it this time!”, **are ringing from the rafters of random selection, echoing through evoltionist elitistville once again. :hammering: Did I just say once again?
Yes indeedie I did. Honestly haven’t we’ve been told this before? If they just “finally found it”, why have they been saying all along that they already had it? It just defies plausibility to me and sounds like “Deja Vu, all over again” - no offence against Mr. Yogi Berra who was a great catcher and great guy to listen to.
I actually remember going to school and them showing us the pictures of how we actually evolved from monkeys like they already had their proof. :hey_bud::whackadoo:
So this isn’t all exactly new to me like I just rolled out of bed, fell on my head, when someone said “evolution”. But let’s back back to those claims.
During the Scopes trial one of the exhibits offered in defence to impeach the mistaken claims of those toe-toe-lee eeg-no-rant christians was the pictures of Nebraska man that they had in their textbooks. When asked to produce the evidence all they could come up with was 1 tooth. Sound ridiculous? It gets worse my friend - when they finally found the “rest of the story” or shall I say dug up the rest of the fossilized skeletal remains it was that of an extinct pig. Monkey some could bee-leave but - but don’ta you go showin’ me that and sayin’ ets my pa now; mama deedint raise no peeg!
How do you spell Ho-Ho-Hoax
Then of course we been goin round the mountain when she comes on the Piltdown man fiasco discovered in 1912. Those are moment the priests of evolution would like to forget. A number of so call top evolutionary “scientists” made some outrageous claims that in hindsight look completely foolish. Obviously you know this was a ho-ho-hoax as well but one not exposed until 1953.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man
Then there was “Ramapithecus”, which was also once declared to be the ancestor of humankind. Today repudiated it is now considered to be a mere type of orangutan, an extinct type to be sure but certainly not a macro transitional form - just an ape, only an ape and nuthin but an ape.
So excuse me if I come into the case for macro level transitional forms with a bit of skepticism but maybe you can show us some honest to goodness believable transitional forms from the fossil record. Ball’s in your court!
All kidding & sarcasm aside I hope you have a good night Charles and may God bless you,
In Christ, Erchomai
