Genes, the fossil record, the reality of natural selection, and a host of other factors show that one need not use
faith to "believe" in evolution.
Genes? You must believe in the cartoon version. Just because we have genes says nothing about evolution. The fossil record supports the fact that life of all types may go extinct. The reality of natural selection is observed today, but it has never been observed to do what evolutionists claim it is partly responsible for. Such as whales once being land dwellers.
So you are a creationist who doesn't believe in a creator?
I didn't say that.
"in intermediate relation to"
So, according to evolution all life is in "between" transitions? A lot of faith you have there.
Not if they want their beliefs to be based on the intellect instead of blind faith. That is the whole point of the
site--to winnow away that which is based on fact from that which is based on fantasy.
It's not blind faith to observe a fossil and conclude "something died". It is blind faith to say "something died and it's descendants are many different species". And it's not blind faith to know I was not always here, but it is blind faith to think you were not created.
If you can't believe in anything that can't be witnessed in real time--regardless of the other evidence that points
to its truth--then you shouldn't believe in Pangaea, past history, or your own birth.
Again, you add words and thoughts to what I actually posted. I don't believe all of the different aspects of evolution being taught as fact. If you will read a few posts up you'll see I stated evolution is a fact. I didn't directly observe the evolution and speciation of the butterfly I refered to, but it happened. And it's still observed as a butterfly.
You said you didn't believe in a creator. Is that based on a scientific fact, or blind faith?
