  27.  @Lewiigi  While evolutionary scenarios, as opposed to worked-out theories, exist for hypothesizing how new genera, new orders, and new families of animal life might appear, there is no rational evolutionary scenario for explaining how a new animal phylum might appear. From 50 to 80 percent of the animal phyla known to have existed at any time in Earth’s history appeared within no more than a few million years of one another, as the Cambrian geological era began. Of the 182 animal skeletal designs theoretically permitted by the laws of physics, 146 appear in the Cambrian explosion fossils. The Cambrian explosion marks the first appearance of animals with skeletons, bilateral symmetry, appendages, brains, eyes, and digestive tracts that include mouths and anuses. Virtually every eye design that has ever existed appears simultaneously in the Cambrian explosion. The moment oxygen levels in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans permit the existence of Cambrian animals, they suddenly appear. The Cambrian explosion occurs simultaneously with the drastic change in sea chemistry known as the Great Unconformity. The Cambrian explosion includes the most advanced of the animal phyla, chordates, including vertebrate chordates. Both bottom-dwellers and open ocean swimmers appear simultaneously in the Cambrian explosion. Optimization of the ecological relationships among the Cambrian animals, including predator-prey relationships, occurred without any measurable delay. Jeffrey S.

  42.  @SB-kg6iw  What?! No evolutionary theory is not highly supported far less even close to the most supported theory in biology, or the sciences in general. It does not even remotely underpin our understanding of biology, not by a long shot. It's explanatory power is almost zilch, it's failed so many times in what it should predict it's absurd it's still even mentioned in academia. The theory could cease to exist tomorrow and it would have had virtually no impact that's how insignificant it is. Now evolution is a 'fact?" That is quite the leap. I'm sorry but you haven't the vaguest clue about biology if you are stating evolution is a fact now or the scientific community has no doubts about the theory. It is essentially pseudo-science and not scientifically possible in the first place, but even further logically and logistically impossible. For evolution to exist far less bring about all life as we know it, it would literally have to be completely divinely guided at every step that is how non-functional the theory is. Intelligent design is a scientific model. The scientific argument is far greater and solid than naturalism. The ACTUAL "greatest most solidified knowledge" in science, the space time theorems establish the requirement for the first cause and implications of the big bang. Which(the big bang) I'm sure you don't know is wholly a Christian concept, from a Christian astronomer. Naturalism cannot account for the start of the universe, the structure of the universe, the start of life nor the structure of life. Intelligent design thus God science tells us is required for all of it. The multiverse and cyclical universe cannot solve this. You don't have an argument.

  43.  @SB-kg6iw  Sounds like you should get your money back they lied to you. Evolutionary theory has virtually zero relevance to biology science far less the backbone or underpins it. I don't remember bringing "faith" or God of the gaps into anything I said into anything. I demonstrated the opposite the evidence science has produced points towards the requirement of God. That is not a gap. We see however in naturalism the gaps only widening not closing unlike in ID which points towards it's failure as a model. I stated objective reasoning and science. I stated the scientific model of intelligent design. . Mankinds most proven knowledge the space time theorems have told us there must be a God. Borde and Vilenkin took Hawking and Penrose work on classic general relativity and expanded it as far as possible with 5 papers in an attempt to disprove the Big Bang and it's Christian implications and concluded "all reasonable cosmic models are subject to the relentless grip of the space-time theorems." They gave examples where you wouldn't need an absolute beginning to space and time but in such models you wouldn't have life. So there has to be a causal agent(God) beyond space and time. But are they a personal "God"(intelligent, caring) or "something else." Fine tuning argument tells us the causal agent is a personal God. So we logically have God, and a personal God. So an easy test is which faith gives us the big bang, and fine tuning implications of an intelligent caring God. Well which has a personal caring God, and gets the claims of a big bang creation correct? Only Christianity nothing else comes close.Science has advanced to a point we know now life is based on an immaterial concept, information, found in DNA. There is no naturalistic phenomenon or process that can produce information. A mind is required. Life requires God. Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does. Christianity claims God created everything by the Word, the transfer of information. Naturalism by it's very nature is not a functional worldview. The science is not there and never will be. It is predicated on a non-existent mechanism. Secondly like I already pointed out evolutionary theory has consistently failed it's predictive model for what we have found with the advancement of science of the last hundred years. It's frankly absurd to even defend it at this point. The fossil record evidence alone shuts down the whole theory.
