Predictions of empirical data from the theory of common descent have been so consistent that biologists often refer to it as the "fact of evolution". Nevertheless, macroevolution is sometimes disputed by religious groups. Generally speaking, these groups attempt to differentiate between microevolution and macroevolution, asserting various hypotheses which are considered to have no scientific basis by any mainstream scientific organization, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science.<BR/><BR/>When discussing the topic, creationists use "strategically elastic" definitions of micro- and macroevolution. Macroevolution, by their definition, cannot be attained. Any observed evolutionary change is described by them as being "just microevolution"."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/" REL="nofollow">Now read this</A><BR/><BR/>What are "nubbies"? Why should there be "lizards with patches of fur"?

Uh, 2+2= Bible? Now, back to transitional forms...can macroevolution be observed today? Why does it appear to have stopped? Where are the humans with wing nubbies or the lizards with patches of fur (I won't ask about the multitudes of transitional fossils that should be accounted for)?doxologicahttp://doxologica.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11135493.post-26491105594955804362008-05-01T07:44:00.000Z2008-05-01T07:44:00.000ZDude,m haven't you checked my links - go for the one titled "Evolution Explained - for very young children and Xtians".<BR/><BR/>Once you've coped with that, you can move onto the more advanced. ie: 1st grade (or whatever you have)Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13905592870063005287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11135493.post-39690736257045545952008-04-30T20:30:00.000Z2008-04-30T20:30:00.000ZAnd all of that has been duplicated in a laboratory, thus making it fact? <BR/><BR/>How many of the ape-like human transitional forms have been discarded and why?doxologicahttp://doxologica.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
