On Monday, PragerU released a video giving two solid scientific reasons to doubt the Darwinian theory of evolution. In the video, Stephen C. Meyer, who earned a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science and who serves as a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, lays out two key flaws in the evolutionary theory that is often taught as gospel truth in may high schools and colleges.
Meyer begins the video by quoting evolutionary biologist and New Atheist Richard Dawkins, who claimed that anyone who does not believe in evolution is either "ignorant, stupid, or insane." By that criteria, many in the scientific community are losing their sanity...

I have no problem with evolution. I do have a problem with evolution to explain creation. It seems to me that a grand creator would build into the mix, evolution. Any species could adapt and thrive in changing conditions. Intelligent beings could evolve as well to adapt, grow ..... to what, I dont know.
Im firmly convinced that if life wasnt planted here, then it was tinkered with.

... to believe in Darwinism you must think that a long time ago some fishes spontaneously sprouted from microscopic molecules..?? of algae, maybe ...??...and then, many years later these fish in the ocean somehow , for some reason, sprouted lungs...and legs ...??...and just walked out of the ocean...??...where some became lions...some became hamsters ...some became spiders...etc etc etc ....and some became monkeys...which eventually ( over years , of course) evolved into Charlize Theron...in short , Charlize Theron evolved from a stray halibut....yeah...THAT makes GREAT sense...it is perfectly logical!!

Ignorant, stupid, insane - or *lying* for fun and/or profit.
"Unless the chemical letters in the DNA text are sequenced properly, a protein molecule will not form." A protein with a slightly different recipe may still function well.
Creationists are scam artists, right up there with Scientologists.

God is the Perfect Creator. "Perfect" is all a Perfect God can do. Adam was created "perfect," but with a free will, just like the Angels who preceded him in Creation. Evolution was never necessary, nor would it serve any purpose in resolving the Angelic conflict. At its core Evolution is extremely racist, putting indigenous Africans as THE link between apes and white Europeans (think British). It was rightfully criticized for this, until they started drawing the "missing link" as a lighter-skinned, thin-nosed male.
List the scientific discoveries unknown at the time Darwin wrote his fictitious "On the Origin of the Species." Why would a "settled science" need to create a Piltdown Man hoax?
Evolution of biological matter is akin to holding a piece of rock in one hand and a Dual-Core Pentium processor in the other and surmising that one became the other on its own. That isn't even a good analogy, because the human body is far more complex than a microprocessor.
Evolution, which focuses 100% on the "hardware," does not address the question, "Who did the programming?"
Why do Monarch Butterflies fly thousands of mile back to the exact same jungle from whence they emerged to lay eggs on the only plant that can sustain their larval offspring? Who programmed that? One minuscule error in navigation would wipe out the entire species, yet they do this every year like clockwork.
Science now knows that all dog species, from the giant Caucasian Shepherd Dog to the tiny Chihuahua descend from a "Super Dog." Genetic material is removed to make a new dog sub-species. Nothing is created through the addition of genetic material, contrary to Evolutionary hypothesis.
Men have nipples because they are formed before sex is determined, but the woman's perform a most unique function of providing immune system boosting nutrition through breastfeeding and only after a birth. How was that all orchestrated? Did the first female "will" the function into being? How many children would she lose until she got it right?
God put all this before us to learn from it. Engineers design robots based on the function of existing creatures. Chemists study plant compounds to find cures for ailments. Doctors use the venom of insects and reptiles for surgical procedures.
Evolutionists miss the lesson entirely in their attempt to "play god" and explain how it all must have happened in the very presence of the Creator Himself. God in the Bible calls them, "fools."

I agree that Prager is a treasure. I have learned from his videos! What I have learned about evolution is that only a person's values evolve. Anything else, not so much.

FTA: "No one doubts that natural selection is a real process and that it produces minor variations, but many biologists now doubt that it produces major innovations in biological form."
I've been saying this for years. Whenever the science books go on and on about how moths in England "adapted" from white to black and hence, "prove" evolution, I always want to write a little somethiing in the side margin that goes like this: "Sure, moths adapted by chaging from white to black. They DID NOT, however, "adapt" by changing from a moth to a bird or any other species!"

Theories are nothing more than educated guesses, using the information available at the time. Theories should not be considered hard fact, but should evolve themselves as more information comes to light.

It is a treat to see on this site something that is NOT politics and which is valuable information.

Who created the intelligent designer? If the odds of a cup of amino acids to form a functional protein are 10 to the 75th what are the odds of any form of energy or matter to form an intelligent designer to make these proteins?

Amen to all. The Lord God did it as revealed in the Bible.

IF we evolved from Apes why are there still Apes?

Evolution is stupid. Unless you don't understand it! The Cambrian Explosion says that all life appeared together at a very short time! Tree of Life...cut down and burned in the ash heap! Survival of the Fittest...Really? Were is there a compassionate chance for a quality life except to the strongest who can just take everything...oh yea...kind of like Marx and Lenin. I will stick with my God, Jesus Christ creating everything through speaking it into existence!
