Plants don’t attack other plants the way that animals attack other animals and eat them.

Survival of the fittest doesn’t mean what you think it means. It’s not the organisms that are stronger and tougher survive (although both could be an advantage). It’s the one’s that fit their environment the best. Fittest means those who are the best fit.
So if a plant has a small change in it’s genetic make-up that enables it to survive better in colder conditions and the climate becomes warmer, it is less fit. If the climate becomes colder it is more fit. If all the other plants can’t survive as well, then it will be the fittest.

You’re dreaming - no one can “answer that question” and no one can ever know “HOW He did it”. There is no way of putting any “HOW He did it” theory to the test, so all scientists are doing doing is blowing smoke and chasing fairies at the bottom of the garden … although this doesn’t stop evo-warrior bs-artists from claiming they “know” how it happened.

For billions of years, life on earth was limited to bacteria and blue-green algae. Then suddenly, there appears the Ediacaran biota (about 551 Mya), which were complex, multicellular organisms. Darwinism requires transitional organisms between the bacteria and algae and the Ediacaran biota, but there is no evidence of any. How can this immense gap be reconciled with Darwinist folklore?

Such an interpretation (of genesis) is a personal matter of course. You should concede that such is your interpretation, as opposed to fact or article of faith.

Have you ever noticed how some trees, such as Oak or Sycamore, suppress the growth of other plants near them? Mistletoe is a parasitic plant, which steals nutrients from its host. Some climbing plants, like Ivy or Bindweed can kill the plant they are climbing on.
You need to get out more and observe the world around you.

I take the first sentence in the Bible to be an absolute truth, In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. The rest of Genesis and the Bible is a lifetime journey to try and understand.
All the theories and science are interesting, but it does not influence anything in my life.

Agree with you there!

So we haven’t figured out how planets formed? We haven’t figured out how chemicals interact? We absolutely have figured out much of how God did it! Why should we stop trying? We’ve done pretty good so far!

If it gets too cold or hot for plants to survive, that is also going to affect the entire ecosystem that those plants are connected to.Evolution is going have to randomly mutate the DNA of every organism in that ecosystem in perfect harmony…Good luck with that

Not for all plants, just for some plants. Alpine plants can survive the cold better than equatorial plants for example. Climate varies over different regions of the earth, and plants evolve to adapt to the regions they are in.

The mutating happens constantly regardless. The changes you speak may or may not be survivable for various elements of the ecosystem. “Evolution” doesn’t have to do anything to “preserve” every organism.

The point is, how are all these plant and animal mutations DNA synchronizing together with perfect timing. There are thousands of organisms that make up an ecosystem and they’re all interconnected with each other. If you affect one , you affect the other.

Perfect timing? No. It is more like a scattershot where at least a few shots will hit the target. All the other random shots are weeded out by natural selection. You are looking at the result after natural selection, not before.

The target is a moving target that cycles fro and back. What natural selection weeds out today as debilitating is tomorrow vital. How does one extrapolate progression in the complexity of living beings if those beings are trapped in a cyclical system?

Not cyclical, or do you expect land dinosaurs to reappear?

I never knew that we have mistletoe and ivy to thank for the evolution of trees. Whom should thank for the mistletoe and ivy?
I am glad to know that you recognize morality and standards of right and wrong. I will seek to “repent” and take more walks so that I can stop, look and listen among nature. Note: This is more comfortable and feasible during summer than winter.

I did recently notice this tree in nature growing up against a tall outcrop of sandstone. Some of the roots are out of the ground and have grown bark on them and resemble branches. I thank Almighty God that he pre-programmed the genetics of this tree to be able to adapt to this situation. Bark grew on the roots to provide protection. The capability was already there in the tree (pre-programmed) so that when the roots were above ground, they grew bark for protection. No evolution over long ages of successive generation was needed. Praise God. No genetic mutations or natural selection were needed.

Buddhism has a morality, one that is very similar in practice to Christian morality. However, “right and wrong” tend to be replaced by “wise and unwise”.

Freddy, I have always known that.
I understand, no problem.
This is why I don’t take evolution too seriously, we don’t have the final version today. When I look at the explanation as to how the eye and the skeletal system might have evolved, I just don’t find this credible.
In a similar way that you don’t believe in God, I don’t believe that the evidence you are talking about is complete or convincing.
I think we have to agree to disagree.
