Here is a breakdown of the 6 types of evolution said to have taken place in order for life to exist as we know it without the influence of a creator:
- Cosmic evolution- the origin of time, space and matter. Big Bang.
- Chemical evolution- the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.
- Stellar and planetary evolution- Origin of stars and planets.
- Organic evolution- Origin of life from inanimate matter.
- Macroevolution- Origin of major kinds.
- Microevolution Variations within kinds- Only this one has been observed.
This was taken from a creationists web site. I think it is a fair assessment of what evolutionists
believe in order to remove God from the equation.
Regarding this thread I find it disturbing that most of the post center on mocking the creationist's theories rather than examining your own. Aren't you operating from a position of ignorance when you question the validity of a theory without knowing the proposed mechanics of how it works?
Getting back to the topic of this thread: These finches haven't evolved at all. What has been witnessed is a narrowing of the variations within the species by enviromental conditions. Before we had finches with different sized beaks. Now some of them have supposedly become extinct.
Extinction can be observed.
There are problems associated with believing microevolution plus a huge amount of time will produce macroevolution. Genetic code must be altered and expanded in order to produce varieties within a species that can be naturally selected to produce changed species. This is supposedly acheived through random mutation. Mutation that has been observed has universally weakened the host species and haven't been shown to actually produce something new to the species. It only produces a mutated version of some charateristic already present within the species.
Imagine what it would take by chance to create an eye. The end result is quite complexed and needful for many species. How could an eyeball be produced over time. Are we to believe that this was the cause of small progressive mutations that dispite all odds endured for millions of years until it became useful? I don't
believe it.
Evolution begins with dust or gas that apparently is omnipresent. This is said to have produce our complexed world randomly. Vasts amounts of time is all is all that was needed.
Right!
