@ s1ow... great resource! Cant wait until term paper time...

ok I'm putting in my views on creation vs evolution...because I wouldnt be me if I was quiet lol

creation....something had to be created for the first anything to begin. but why can't creation AND evolution go hand in hand? can't things evolve from something created????

I know very little about Scientology. I read a tiny bit about it and it does sound very interesting, but I think they may want to separate me from my money, so I avoid cults like that.

Darwin Schmarwin lol

I'm even talking about...let's say prehistoric animals....science has found proof that modern creatures evolved from them (or at least some of them lol) but things had to be created first to evolve

see??? i is smart lol

mirror...stop with the scientology if you won't tell me the secrets lol

I'll tell you the secrets that I know. I don't have the fine details, but they do a lot of creative techniques, positive thinking, etc. and they believe that alien scientists {or an advanced race of beings) genetically engineered modern humans from more privative humanoids or perhaps pre-humans. I don't have any of the details, but I think they are on the right track with that idea.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to look into it deeper. I know how to recognize a cult. I am not saying they are a cult, just that I know how to recognize one.

I consider all information valid in some respect. I have not looked into theirs yet. Maybe I will, and I'll get back to you.

Mirror, are you into Scientology? Can you point me in the right direction?

There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world. Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present.

Absolutely no transitional forms either in the fossil record or in modern animal and plant life have been found. All appear fully formed and complete. The fossil record amply supplies us with representation of almost all species of animals and plants but none of the supposed links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, or reptile to birds and mammals are represented nor any transitional forms at all. There are essentially the same gaps between all the basic kinds in the fossil record as exists in plant and animal life today. There are literally a host of missing links in the fossil record and the modern world.

1. "There is no evidence in the fossil record of one kind of creature becoming another kind. No transitional links or intermediate forms between various kinds of creatures have ever been found." For example, "the evolutionist claims that it took perhaps fifty million years for a fish to evolve into an amphibian. But, again, there are no transitional forms. For example, not a single fossil with part fins...part feet has been found. And this is true between every major plant and animal kind."

2. "Nowhere do we see animals with partially evolved legs, eyes, brains, or various other tissues, organs, and biological structures."

3. "If continuous evolution is a universal law of nature, as the evolutionist claims, then there should be an abundance of evidences of continuity and transition between all the kinds of organisms involved in the process, both in the present world and in the fossil record. Instead we find great gaps between all the basic kinds, and essentially the same gaps in the fossil record that exist in the modern world."

4. There are no links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, reptile to birds and mammals. There are no links whatsoever.

5. "All of the present orders, classes, and phyla appear quite suddenly in the fossil record, without indications of the evolving lines from which they developed. The same is largely true even for most families and genera. There are literally an innumerable host of `missing links' in the record."

6. "There is simply no evidence of partially evolved animals or plants in the fossil record to indicate that evolution has occurred in the past, and certainly no evidence of partially evolved animals and plants existing today to indicate that evolution is occurring at the present."

7. "...the outstanding characteristics of the fossil record is the absence of evidence for evolution."

8. If there were links then they would have been found since the fossil record is "...quite ample to represent the true state of the ancient world. Most individual species of fossil plants and animals have been collected in considerable numbers, but the hypothetical intermediate species have never been represented at all!"

9. Darwin stated, "Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?"

10. Darwin admitted that the number of transitional links "must have been conceivably great." The fact that there are none prompted him to conclude that this fact is "the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory."

11. "The occasional suggested examples of missing links (such as the famous archaeopteryx - supposedly linking the birds and reptiles) can usually be recognized on closer study to represent merely another type of one of the basic kinds it supposedly links (the archaeopteryx was a true bird, by any reasonable definition, with feathers and warm blood)."

12. "Even if a creature shared characteristics belonging to two separate groups, however, this would not necessarily make it a transitional link as long as each of the characteristics themselves is complete and not in the process of transition from one type of structure or function into another type of structure or function."

13. "Because of the lack of evidence for gradual evolution in the fossil record, more and more evolutionists are adopting a new theory of evolution known as macroevolution. The theory of macroevolution teaches that animals and plants changed suddenly from one kind to another without going through any gradual or transitional process."

14. Other evolutionists claim that the links are missing only because the changes are so small that they are not noticed. The problem here is that they are assuming that at every point in the evolution process the being would appear as complete or whole. Actually, they would appear as in transition as when a house is being built.

15. "The point to remember...is that the fossil problem for Darwinism is getting worse all the time."

NOT no offense

Feralcat-- Im just saying that your assumptions about evolution are all wrong. You can believe what you want Im not gonna challenge you beliefs on that anymore. I dont want to argue According to science evolution happened. According to the "gods" it did not.
