Have a read.

Thanks, but I’ve read quite a bit on the theory of evolution and have debated it more than a few times. It’s not credible in my view and exists mainly as a religion for atheists.

You didn’t know who “KJ” was beforehand then?

Correct

Oh good so you will be well informed of the major evidential themes put forward by scientists. Which one do you feel is the weakest and why?

Correct

As Satan is pronounced as being the “father of all lies” then I believe it is fair to conclude that Jesus will honour you for not lying and being honest.

Thank you.

No evidence for macroevolution, one species becoming another species. The fossil record is extremely weak in terms of a lack of transitional forms and the Cambrian explosion.

Oh sorry, I thought you said you were well read on the subject.

Never mind then.

Well it’s 4 a.m. in my neck of woods and I’m going to catch (hopefully) some more sleep before a busy day ahead. Hope you have a good Wednesday, pardner 🤠 👋

I am. But if you can’t explain the lack of transitional forms, which Darwin himself said should be truly enormous in number, or the Cambrian explosion, I’m not surprised. No evolutionist can.

Unlike you I’m not an expert on evolution I’m afraid sorry.

However if you’d like to explain some more about your alternative and present the evidence for it I will be more than happy to look at it.

You debated it before with @avalanchethecat when you were posting here as PB1022 earlier this year and he ran rings around you.

Never said I was an expert but I am reasonably well read and open minded on the subject (by open minded, I mean I don’t assume it’s true when there’s virtually no evidence to support it.)

If that’s true, which it’s not, you should be able to recall and explain the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record, which Darwin himself should be truly enormous in number, and the Cambrian explosion. And those are just two of the many problems/flaws with the theory.

But the theory endures because it’s the religion of atheists.

Most Christians I have discussed evolution with over the last 40+ years believe that evolution is the way that their God figure arranged for life to develop on Earth. If they are right, then evolutionary scientists - including "atheists", perhaps inadvertently - are simply describing the nature of the Abrahamic God's creation.

Who is KJ?

My bad for using shorthand. @KellyJay. Other frequent posters here are also sometimes abbreviated, not only by me.

"Dive" and "Geester" and "The Gooster" are all commonly used expressions for @divegeester. @FMF is short enough not to need abbreviation. I am sometimes referred to simply as "moon" or "Mr. Bus." @suzianne is nearly always referred to as "Suzi", and she accepts "Misfit Queen" or "Jalapeno Kitten", but if you refer to her as anything else, be prepared for adverse feedback.

FYI.
