Default Evolution is a load of bullocks

Don't you people get it? Evolution is utterly and finally impossible by any physical standards. There are a good many reasons to hold it utterly implausible--from biological to chemical to the very laws of physics. I'll start with a few:

Universal gravitation: Given that all matter tends to attract to itself, and will always attract to the center of mass, the Big Bang is impossible. Since such an "explosion" would result in an equal distribution of mass, all gravity would be towards the central point--not multiple, spread out points. This would result in a single clump of matter in the center--pretty boring. But even assuming that magically this matter manages to get out, the soalr system would be impossible. Since gravity draws to the center of mass, the formation of planets would be impossible--all mass would have ended up in the sun, leaving a very uniteresting situation. This means that God MUST have created the universe and the solar system.

Chemical: Such complex chemicals are not thermodynamically favored--the Gibbs Free energy is too low for them to be spontaneous--thus, energy must be applied to the system for them to generate. However, it is the contention of evolutionists that such chemicals came about spontaneously--a complete impossibility. Therefore, God MUST have created life.

Biological: Even with highly selective breeding, only relatively minor changes within a species can be achieved, and even then, these new "species" are still capable of breeding with the original. After ten thousand (according to the Evolutionists--I know it cannot be more than 6000 years) or more years of continuous selective breeding, dogs can still breed with wolves--and produce fertile offspring. Therefore, in a mildly selective breeding process cannot produce greater results. All species on earth, therefore, started from the same stock. God MUST have made them this way.

Hmmm. Interesting. I don't know much about biology. I do believe, however, that evilution isn't a load of bollocks; but that it is assisted by loaded bollocks.


BTW, Jesus - that was your 777th post.

All very interesting, but thus far you've said exactly nothing about the Theory of Evolution. You're talikng about beginnings. The ToE does not describe this. The ToE simply explains certain, biological process' that have taken place after those beginnings.

As for the biological part, seletive of breeding dogs proves only that we can breed for some pretty weird dogs and still has nothing to do with the ToE. Give some of those breeds enough time in isolation however, and it becomes highly likely they'll be unable to interbreed successfully with other populations. Would we then have a new 'kind'?

Now tell us about all the transitional fossils the labs and museums aren't virtually up to their ears in.

Is this thread a joke?

It's not a joke exactly. Jebus is just trying to spice up the E/C forum.

Default physics

If an explosion occurs material is ejected out wards from the centre or in a certain direction. Look up a dictionary and also see implosion

Hey JC: to really come across as a true blue fundy, you need to conclude your argument with the ultimate factoid.
Because the Bible says/doesn't say so. Most every apologist I've ever had to listen to ensured that they told me the bible was at least as valid a reference as anything we have to offer.
Otherwise, your grammar, spelling, and syntax are too good for you to be taken as a fundy.

The Big Bang was an explosion in higher dimensions.

The usual analogy is that the Universe is like the surface of an expanding balloon. The center of expansion is not on the surface of the balloon. There is no point within our present Universe which we can point to and say "the Big Bang exploded from over there". Similarly, aliens elsewhere in the Universe can't say the same about THIS location either.

Also, I wouldn't describe the differences between wolves and chihuahuas as "minor". They're at least as great as the differences between humans and chimps, surely?

I would be somewhat surprised if wolves and chihuahuas can readily interbreed.
