"Such revision of evolutionary theory has not been necessary except
in obscure details for a very long time"
What planet is this guy from. Excuse me, nearly ever new fossil find
is toted as being a missing link later to be declared not to be.
If he is talking about the basic tenets of the THEORY of evolution
then I can see his point. No, hardcore EVs haven't changed their mind
about it, never will, like I said it is a religion like any other with
very zealous members of the church.
One of the most striking things to me is not any evidences that
they point to but what they avoid or leave out.
Example--Here we have these little fossils that indicates that it
was a distant relative to this other creature that it eventually
became-- " Where did one celled organisms originate from with
all of their complexity already in place and fully functional
with nothing below them to evolve from?"--Don't ask such silly
questions--Ok if you really must know, lightening struck some
muckey slimey water and formed the little complex fully functional
creature out of the muck, it happens all the time--" How come scientist
can't do the same thing in a lab?"--Ugh, another silly question--Ok
if you really must know, evolution is much smarter than all of the
scientist put together--" You mean evolution is an intelligent being
with designing capabilities "-- Shut the fuck up you unscientific bitch!
Your statement--" Evolution is not the anti God "
But that is exactly what it is presented as being.
The answer to where did we all come from,
not only how did everything develop and progress,
but where did we actually come from as well.
Not just the ax but the hand that wielded
it as well. Originally Posted by bojulay

Well the details about lineages are often under heavy scrutiny in the scientific community. Debate after debate with lists of evidence coming from both ends will typically decide if a linking species is an ancestor of the one that came later. This is normal scientific process, evolution has a very large scope as we are talking about every living thing that has ever existed on our planet period.
As for the primordial ooze story, the world was around about 2 billion years if I remember correctly and our entire atmosphere/ecosystem was different. A smaller sun, different dominant gasses, a number of different factors but apparently it was ideal to form just one single non complex celled living organism when the right conditions were met. It is highly doubtful that scientists would merely give it a shot in the dark in a lab and make it happen without trying for a very very long time. It took Billions of years, which keep in mind what a Billion years is. One thing I know, you and I can't fathom it.
At least one condition was right in that time that made that occur. These things reproduce asexually.
It doesn't disprove God, it could have been God's design entirely.
