Evolution vs. Creation

<quoted text>Oh really? You're the one who believes that man evolved from a worm. Or do you feel better simply saying he evolved from a microbe and somehow bypassed the worm stage.

As that post demonstrated, the theory of evolution does not rely on abiogenesis. For the same reason the theory of gravity does not rely on explaining the origin of mass, nor the germ theory of disease rely on explaining the origin of germs. Yet all of these scientific theories work.
Of course this HAS been explained to you before. The only rational conclusion can be is that you're just another typical dishonest fundie liar for Jesus.

<quoted text>The point I was responding to is that no one is an expert in all areas of evolutionary study... Therefore all must concede to the credentials of others.

What Are The Symptoms Of Zombititus?
Zombititus has a few obvious symptoms. First, the infected area (if you are bitten) turns black. You begin to feel delusional and are unaware of what is going on. You find it diffucult to perform even the simpilist of tasks. Your bodily functions slow down, and your mind deteriorates. Eventually you die (this can all happen in as long as two days, or as short as two hours depending on the severity of the bite). Once you are dead, the disease continues to eat away at your body, like a rapid decompisition (once again, this can take up to two weeks or it can happen in a few hours). When all life has been destroyed, the corpse is revived (often times, it has already been buried, which is where zombies rising from their graves came from), and the monster goes on his killing spree.

And the hypocrisy is self evident. All theories of abiogenesis propose simpler pre-life forms. Where do you draw the line between biology and inorganic matter? According to the theory of evolution, man is chemistry so there is no sharp distinction. Therefore, the dismissal of abiogenesis from evolution is arbitrary. It is obvious tha evolutionists have distanced themselves from it because they have no answers and think that by hiding they can win an argument.

Evolution takes no position on the possibility of an intelligent creator. And Evolution does not require abiogenesis. Evolution says life changes over time. Period. It doesn't say how life started. If life started through a natural chemical process, if life started by a bolt of lightning, or if life started by direct intervention of God, does not change that we observe life changing.
Think of it this way, there is a study of geology called Plate Tectonics, the study of how the crust of the Earth moves, causing earthquakes, among other things. Knowing how the Earth was formed is not necessary to understand Plate Tectonics. It would provide insight and a framework, to be sure, but we don't have to disregard plate tectonics if we don't know the exact means by which the Earth formed.

A perfect analysis of the evolutionists position, well said. I look forward to the Dude trying to give some type of answer to you after you have disembowled him with the sword of reason and logic. It will be comical if nothing else.

<quoted text>The main difference between Creationism and Evolutionism is in origins. Some Evolutionist insist that continuous change from a lower or simpler state brought life to a better or more complex advancement. New science really doesn't back that up.

HTS wrote:

<quoted text>
False.
Evolution says life changes over time through MUTATIONS and NATURAL SELECTION, ie, atheistic forces. No matter how you spin it, that's atheism.
Your analogy top late tectonics is irrelevant. Evolution takes a stand against ID. Plate tectonics doesn't

Since evolution is a theory intented to explain how *living* things change over time, why would it need to explain abiogenesis?

Where do you draw the line between Modern English and Middle English?
<quoted text>
No, it isn't. Evolution deals with populations of living things that reproduce. Abiogenesis deals with non-living things that become living things.
