View Full Version : Evolution...?

There is no end to this....
So – the big questions are: does variety show that life-forms are changing from one kind into another? Or does variety have a limit?
There are only two ways to find out!
First, do we see Evolution happening today or do we see that life-forms have limits in their variety?
Second, if Evolution is true, the fossil record of the past should show millions of examples of transitional fossils.
On the other hand, if Evolution is not true, the fossil record should show that life-forms in the past had limits to their variety also.
This means a REAL transitional form would not be a “variety”. Instead, these life-forms should show a major structure that is clearly changing.
In other words – if rodents became bats we should see some strange rodent with super long fingers. Why? Because bats have fingers longer than their bodies that they use as wings.
The truth is the only possible transitional fossils Evolutionists bring up are not convincing – even to other Evolutionists. There are some interesting mosaic creatures like the platypus and the walrus in the world. But the platypus and the walrus are complete within their own kind. They are not transitional forms. If Creation is what really happened in the past, this is what we would expect to find in the fossil record. (3)

When people think of mammals, bats are probably not the first animals to come to mind, yet they account for roughly a fifth of current mammal species. They simply have so many specialized features—large ears and echolocation, radically extended forelimb bones, skin flaps connecting their limbs—that they seem quite removed from what we view as a typical mammal. A new fossil find from Wyoming, described in this week's edition of Nature, sheds light on the origin of many of these features.
As you can see at right, the fossil is astonishingly well preserved. It comes from deposits that date to about 52.5 million years ago, a time when many mammalian groups were expanding, possibly in response to the environmental changes associated with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The species has been named Onychonycteris finneyi, meaning "clawed bat" and honoring its discoverer, Bonnie Finney.
The clawed bat part refers to one of the many intermediate features that make Onychonycteris the most primitive bat species ever described. In all current and prior fossil species of bats, most of the digits in the wing lack the claws typical of mammalian digits. That's not the case here: all Onychonycteris digits end in claws. The hind limbs are also unusually long, as is the tail, but the limb contains a feature that suggests the presence of a skin flap between the hind limbs and the body.

Asked for, and given.
The creationist response: move the goal posts. "but you can't find...."
Every single time a predicted transitional form is found that fills in yet another gap, this is what happens.
Dig into it.
Transitional forms predicted by evolution have been, and continue to be found.
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_transitional_fossils
Modern taxonomy and phylogeny, fully support evolution, and provide clues and predictions of all manner of transitional forms.
One of the strongest ways in which the evidence for evolution becomes overwhelming is when you find a theory's predictions being borne out in multiple lines of evidence.
If one wants to read up on this aspect of how the study of genetics supports the predictions of evolution:

Not only does it tell you why something is true, it shows you how to determine for yourself, independently of what any scientist tells you.

Here I will pause, and note a common logical flaw in many peoples reasoning;
Moving the goalposts.
Logical fallacy[edit]
Moving the goalposts, similar to "shifting sands" and also known as raising the bar, is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. That is, after an attempt has been made to score a goal, the goalposts are moved to exclude the attempt.[3] The problem with changing the rules of the game is that the meaning of the end result is changed, too.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_the_goalposts
Or if you prefer, a better presented form of this flawed argument here:
M
OVING THE GOALPOSTS
(also known as: gravity game, raising the bar, argument by demanding impossible perfection [form of])
Description: Demanding from an opponent that he or she address more and more points after the initial counter-argument has been satisfied refusing to conceded or accept the opponent’s argument.
Logical Form:
Issue A has been raised, and adequately answered.
Issue B is then raised, and adequately answered.
.....
Issue Z is then raised, and adequately answered.
(despite all issues adequately answered, the opponent refuses to conceded or accept the argument.
Example #1:
Ken: There has to be an objective morality because otherwise terms like “right” and “wrong” would be meaningless, since they have no foundation for comparison.
Rob: The terms “right” and “wrong” are based on cultural norms, which do have a subjective foundation -- one that changes as the moral sphere of the culture changes. The term “heavy” does not have an objective standard, yet we have no problem using that term in a meaningful way. In fact, very few relational terms have any kind of objective foundation.
Ken: But without an objective morality, we would all be lost morally as a race.
Rob: Many would say that we are.
Ken: But how can you say that torturing children for fun is morally acceptable in any situation?
Rob: Personally, I wouldn’t, but you are implying that anything that is not objective must necessarily be seen in all possible ways. A feather may not be seen as “heavy” to anyone, but that doesn’t mean its “lightness” is still not relative to other objects.
Ken: But God is the standard of objective morality. Prove that wrong!
Rob: That I cannot do.
Explanation: Ken starts with a statement explaining why he thinks there has to be an objective morality -- a statement based on a reasonable argument that can be pursued with reason and logic. Rob adequately answers that objection, as indicated by Ken’s move away from that objection to a new objection. This pattern continues until we arrive at an impossible request. Despite all the objections being adequately answered, at no time does Ken concede any points or abandon the argument.
Example #2: Perhaps the most classic example of this fallacy is the argument for the existence of God. Due to understanding of nature through science, many of the arguments that used to be used for God (or gods) were abandoned, only to be replaced with new ones, usually involving questions to which science has not definitively answered yet. The move from creationism to intelligent design is a prime example. Currently the origin of life is a popular argument for God (although a classic argument from ignorance), and an area where we very well may have a scientific answer in the next decade, at which time, the “origin of life” argument will fade away and be replaced by another, thus moving the figurative goalposts farther back as our understanding of the natural world increases.
The common application of this flawed line of reasoning is to insist on the impossible proof that every single transitional form be presented before evolution is "proved".
This is neither feasible, nor required to accept something as true.
Take this series of numbers for example:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, (X), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ...
We can deduce what "X" is, even if we don't know with an absolute certainty what comes after 14 in the series, simply by forming a hypothesis that the rule governing the set is "add one to the number on the left".

Not really an argument. Just a variation on a theme.
Same debunked argument from incredulity you have been harping on.
Arguments from incredulity take the form:
1) P is too incredible (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
or
2) I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false; therefore P must be true.
These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.
Avante here actually does both forms:
[That we are the result of random natural processes] simply can't happen by chance, [therefore the argument that we are the result of random natural processes is false]
P= We are the result of random natural processes
[I cannot imagine how anything could happen without a designer "we... must have a Designer"], [so therefore, we have a Designer]
P=We have a Designer
Wishful, flawed thinking and provably so.

You haven't seen/read it, and that is pretty obvious. You can't state more than the most childish understanding of the theory, and you rely on liars to tell you what to think about it, rather than make the effort of thinking for yourself.
I mean, I guess I can't blame you for being lazy. It is human nature. It takes effort to read, and understand.
Real critical thinking is hard. Evaluating ones inherent assumptions is hard. Cognitive bias is a bitch to overcome, but can be done.
That is one of the things that the research of Donning-Kruger showed. People who are really incompetent at something, just don't recognize how incompetent they are, until they have been shown what competence looks like, and even then they like to trick themselves into thinking they are still "above average" somehow. But with some effort, they can acquire the skills needed to improve.
I can, and have, run circles around the work of the liars and idiots you post here, as well as your own mantra "fish... ahahahah".
Yet you persist.

When you take into consideration all the things it takes to sustain life on this planet. And how they must all work in perfect concert and then add the complexities of DNA, how could anyone not see the need for intelligent design? It seems pretty obvious to me. Why some have a need to battle that obvious remains a mystery to me.
Once upon a time we didn't know about a lot of things we have today. Try explaining the cell phone a 1000 years ago. Try explaining tv, CD's, computers 1000 years ago. They'd think you were crazy. Try ...."in 50 years HS's will have offensive lines bigger than you Packers have now"...they'd think you were nuts. Science couldn't have predicted that.

Ok
Time to refute the BS and explain the current state of biochemical evolution.
If Mouse or Avante had any clue as to what they were writing they would realize they are asking the wrong question.
We have a good understanding of how elements (atoms arose from the Big Bang) This equation is more than some silly math, it has meaning. E = mc^2. So we got atoms. Now to compounds and therefore molecules and then Biomolecules. Compounds are easily produced under lower energy conditions (ie total E became more widely distributed therefore less concentrated) In fact compounds do arise preferentially, most of the elements on the periodic table do not exists in elemental form in our world on the surface of the Earth.
Now to molecules that replicate. There are many crystals that in effect, replicate with mistakes in the pattern
if we put elements together that were present on the early Earth and input a little energy, lighting and or heat, we come up with a myriad of Biomolecules that are now present and abundant. Phosphates, simple sugars and nitrogenous bases, the three basic parts of RNA and DNA are part of the mish mash of organics.
Now once we got these 3 building blocks, we see that some nucleic acids self replicate. Do I need to go further ya big quacks?
What we don't know is exactly how cells arose in which nucleic acids appear to prefer to self replicate (Dawkins perspective here). But we have some very good ideas. A woman has actually been instrumental in these studies; for the males that believe only the penis can think. She's pretty old now.
So Avante go back to list making and quit getting blowed up.
Moise... Can you go die again, and have your lawyer self die with you...

No end to it....
DNA functions like a software program. We know from experience that software comes from programmers. We know generally that information—whether inscribed in hieroglyphics, written in a book or encoded in a radio signal—always arises from an intelligent source. So, the discovery of information in the DNA molecule provides strong grounds for inferring that intelligence played a role in the origin of DNA, even if we weren’t there to observe the system coming into existence.
Thus, contrary to media reports, the theory of intelligent design is not based upon ignorance or religion, but instead upon recent scientific discoveries and upon standard methods of scientific reasoning in which our uniform experience of cause and effect guides our inferences about what happened in the past.
Of course, many will still dismiss intelligent design as nothing but “religion masquerading as science.” But intelligent design is not based upon the Bible. Design is an inference from biological data, not a deduction from religious authority.
Even so, the theory of intelligent design may provide support for theistic belief. But that is not grounds for dismissing it. To say otherwise confuses the evidence for a theory and its possible implications. Many scientists initially rejected the Big Bang theory because it seemed to challenge the idea of an eternally self-existent universe and pointed to the need for a transcendent cause of matter, space and time. But scientists eventually accepted the theory despite such apparently unpleasant implications because [they thought] the evidence strongly supported it. Today a similar metaphysical prejudice confronts the theory of intelligent design.

At least have the intellectual honesty to cite your sources.
Not really an argument or evidence anyway. Just another flawed argument.
Claim CF003:
Source:
Brown, Walt, 1995. In the Beginning: Compelling evidence for creation and the Flood. Phoenix, AZ: Center for Scientific Creation, p. 13.
Response:
This question is based on some major misconceptions (addressed below). Its overriding logical error, however, is that it is an argument from ignorance. One's inability to find an answer to a question does not imply that the question has no answer.
Information is not meaning and does not, per se, imply any special structure or function. Any arrangement implies information; the information is how the arrangement is described. If a new arrangement occurs, whether spontaneously or from the outside, new information is assembled in the process. Even if the arrangement consists of shattering a glass into tiny pieces, that means assembling new information.
Nothing needs to assemble itself. Evolution and abiogenesis do not exclude outside influences; on the contrary, such outside influences are essential. In abiogenesis, it is observed that complex organic molecules easily form spontaneously due to little more than basic chemistry and energy from the sun or from the earth's interior. In evolution, information from the environment is communicated to genomes indirectly via natural selection against varieties that do not do well in that environment.

Meyer earned his Ph.D. in history and philosophy of science in 1991 at the University of Cambridge.[6] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-ARNbio-6) His dissertation was entitled "Of clues and causes: A methodological interpretation of origin of life studies."[6] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-ARNbio-6) After gaining his Ph.D., Meyer taught philosophy at Whitworth,[7] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-7) then at the Christian Palm Beach Atlantic University (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Palm_Beach_Atlantic_University).[6] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-ARNbio-6) Meyer later ceased teaching to devote his time to the intelligent design movement (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Intelligent_design_movement).[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-Guide-8)

He is a Fckn philosophy guy. I see nothing about biochemistry or biochemical evolution.
Nothing. I have a masters degree in biochemistry from UT. BS in molecular Biology. From UT. I Know most of this stuff well although my job now entails more physics and getting people like you, who know a whole lot about very little, to work as a team for specific projects they are needed for. I am not meaning to brag, but I'm telling you the way it is.
If you doubt I know what I type look it up. I am telling you the following:
We have viral sequences that have are chopped up in our DNA and we will pass on to children we have.
We have psuedogenes, multiple copies of genes like for hemoglobin, that are screwed up with inversions and translocated that are no longer transcribed that we will pass on to our children. I could continue on ad nauseum ...
Bottom line: Human DNA as some sort of work of perfection by a designer trying to achieve perfection is perfectly ludicrous.
So yes, the guy is a charlatan that does not know his stuff if you are parroting what he has stated. I guarantee it. You will one day figure out how to find more reliable sources when attempting to explain something you know nothing about.

Irreducible Complexity is yet another catch phrase to give up doing science. This exact argument was used with eyes yet now we have a really good pathway to explain how our eyes evolved, and how eyes different than ours arose independently. We will continue to find and explain complex structures we see today. This is what molecular evolutions do, they look for complex structures and attempt to explain how they evolved without going poof. These guys looking for complex machines and concluding "poof", are NOT doing SCIENCE. Do you get this? Because some of these guys are giving up while their colleagues move on.
The bacterial flagellum and much more complex intercellular "machines" like the electron transport system are still being studied. We have already explained how these things are put together on a more basic level DNA---->RNA ------>protein and the clear lack of intelligence behind it. We have already explained things more complex than what these guys are working on like eyes. BTW our retinas are backwards giving us a blind spot. The creator must have liked squid more as their retinas face the correct way. But the intelligent designer went really astray with lenses in almost everything that can form images using EM radiation. (As an aside mouse once stated that we did not come from snails. I find it funny that the creator decided to give some mollusks better eyes)
Darwin himself wrote about exactly what these guys say he got wrong. He said it was a weak point. He himself pointed this out! So some of these guys lack knowlege of what the man wrote. Since Darwin's time this is a delightful area of research for people who do science. And we find out natural selection holds up just fine as ONE MECHANISM for changes in populations of organisms over time. The other mechanisms do not involve miracles as this is not science. If the guys who work on this stuff fall back on a fancy replacement phrase for intelligent design they have given up doing Science and should just state that they give up.
What we still do not know and may never know is how the first cells arose. People are working on this as I type, or, should we contact them and tell them to give up? Some of this stuff leads to very important applications in medicine, I suggest they restrain from the go poof mechanism.

Project Steve[edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Level_of_support_for_evolution&action=edit§ion=3)]
The Discovery Institute (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Institute) announced that over 700 scientists had expressed support for intelligent design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design) as of February 8, 2007.[51] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#cite_note-51) This prompted the National Center for Science Education (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Science_Education) to produce a "light-hearted" petition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petition) called "Project Steve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Steve)" in support of evolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution). Only scientists named "Steve" or some variation (such as Stephen, Stephanie, and Stefan) are eligible to sign the petition. It is intended to be a "tongue-in-cheek parody (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody)" of the lists of alleged "scientists" supposedly supporting creationist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationist) principles that creationist organizations produce.[52] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#cite_note-steve-52)[53] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#cite_note-53) The petition demonstrates that there are more scientists who accept evolution with a name like "Steve" alone (over 1200[54] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#cite_note-54)) than there are in total who support intelligent design. This is, again, why the percentage of scientists who support evolution has been estimated by Brian Alters to be about 99.9 percent.[55] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_evolution#cite_note-nihrecord-55)

Ish. Bad reasoning from start to finish.
Assertions without evidence and a basic argument from incredulity fallacy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance
We have discovered thousands and thousands of planets orbiting other stars. Planets are therefore common in our galaxy, and we have no reason to think this isn't the case in all of the billions of galaxies we can see.
It is therefore reasonable to conclude that the formation of planets is a naturalistic phenomenon.
Arguments from incredulity take the form:
1) P is too incredible (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
or
2) I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false; therefore P must be true.
These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.
Avante here actually does both forms:
[That we are the result of random natural processes] simply can't happen by chance, [therefore the argument that we are the result of random natural processes is false]
P= We are the result of random natural processes
[I cannot imagine how anything could happen without a designer "we... must have a Designer"], [so therefore, we have a Designer]
P=We have a Designer

Also Known as: Ad Populum
Description of Appeal to Popularity
The Appeal to Popularity has the following form:
1. Most people approve of X (have favorable emotions towards X).
2. Therefore X is true.
The basic idea is that a claim is accepted as being true simply because most people are favorably inclined towards the claim. More formally, the fact that most people have favorable emotions associated with the claim is substituted in place of actual evidence for the claim. A person falls prey to this fallacy if he accepts a claim as being true simply because most other people approve of the claim.
It is clearly fallacious to accept the approval of the majority as evidence for a claim. For example, suppose that a skilled speaker managed to get most people to absolutely love the claim that 1+1=3. It would still not be rational to accept this claim simply because most people approved of it. After all, mere approval is no substitute for a mathematical proof. At one time people approved of claims such as "the world is flat", "humans cannot survive at speeds greater than 25 miles per hour", "the sun revolves around the earth" but all these claims turned out to be false.

I'm saying science only has the past/current to work with. That is my postion. Right, and if all you're interested in is absolute truth, Science will only offer it incrementally. Judeo-Christian theology, on the other hand, incrementally --often reluctantly -- twists to fit its Bronze-age absolute truths into the present (read some Thomas Aquinas to see what I mean, or just keep watching the youtubes you've posted, I guess) because all it has is the alleged past and the future it promised back then. So choices are: 1) assuming you know nothing and working from there; 2) assuming you know everything and distorting/adapting your original truth to fit evidence contrary to it, or; 3) assuming you know everything and denying the evidence right in front of you. You seem to choose option 3 for some reason.

Ok
Time to refute the BS
Start with Chump and Spuraider
If Mouse or Avante had any clue as to what they were writing they would realize they are asking the wrong question.
What question am I asking?
]if we put elements together
Elements from where?
that were present on the early Earth
says who?
and input a little energy, lighting and or heat, we come up with a myriad of Biomolecules that are now present and abundant. Phosphates, simple sugars and nitrogenous bases, the three basic parts of RNA and DNA are part of the mish mash of organics.
But do you get a human fetus? And how do you get all the material needed from the big bang.
Now once we got these 3 building blocks,
Yes skip over the how you got them.
What we don't know is exactly how cells arose in which nucleic acids appear to prefer to self replicate
The stop acting like you know everything. Science has no clue and they never will as long as they ignore design.
we have some very good ideas.
I have Ideas also lets stick with facts.

Start with Chump and Spuraider
What question am I asking?
How species came to be and your answer is poof.
Elements from where?
Energy E = mc^2 Define m please.
And we have no idea how the energy got there in the first place which of course as you know is NOT anything that refutes evolution. Again, this is beyond the boundaries of what we can know from science and it's honest. You should try being honest. It's easier than lies.
says who?
Scientist who work with the formation of solar systems and the wavelengths of energy they give off. We have been to the moon and Mars, we have sampled the elements and compounds confirming much of what we already knew BEFORE we ever visited. Surprises came in % abundance and locations where certain compounds were found. How did we know Pluto was present long before it was actually ever seen? How did we know exactly where to look after telescopes got powerful enough? Have you ever seen wind, how you know it's there? These are all the same type of example, let's see if you can finally digest the obvious.
But do you get a human fetus? And how do you get all the material needed from the big bang.
Energy, and this has absolutely nothing to do with getting a fetus using magic.
Yes skip over the how you got them.
From the compounds of the early earth which are put under conditions we think were present, + lightning, heat
We find organic molecules can be made from water, CO2, NH3, none of which is organic. Sugars, nitrogenous bases, etc.. Can be produced from simple inorganic compounds.
The stop acting like you know everything. Science has no clue and they never will as long as they ignore design.
Science does not deal with design because design requires the super natural, something you have a profound inability to get thru your thick skull that was once dead but arose again. And I don't know everything and science will never prove everything.
I have Ideas also lets stick with facts.
The facts are we have plenty of mechanisms to explain how cells might have arisen. But this is a tough one as the inner structures of early cells don't fossilize well. This is also called honesty. Foreign idea for you, but it should be sampled.
Not really you have not shown any proof my ancestor was a snail.
Yes. This is the stupid question you keep asking. Since I will presume you are human, are we in anyway related? Or did you just magically stork it, while my dad diddled my mom?
Now back to ignore.
I tire of filleting rodents.

06-27-2015, 03:05 AM
fine, what are some facts that back up AD? use your own words-
DNA has an internal mechanism designed with interlocking parts that work together and is able to repair itself, I'm sorry but that shit doesn't come about from a random explosion of nothing.
The universe is designed so that the planet's and stars just happen to be spaced apart just right by chance?
The earth just happens to have water air and plant life animals and humans by chance?
How strong is that bud your smoking?
why would anybody try to prove a point that they never made? nobody here is claiming your ancestor was a snail

None of that is "proof" of design. All you proved is that things are complex. AD is just your idea of how to explain it. There is no hard evidence of design.

What we still do not know and may never know is how the first cells arose. People are working on this as I type, or, should we contact them and tell them to give up? Some of this stuff leads to very important applications in medicine, I suggest they restrain from the go poof mechanism.
They have started to figure that out as well. All you really need is basic simple lipids in small isolated pools.
That is the thing about the "God in the gaps". Every time we fill in the parts we are ignorant about life, the universe, and everything, we find natural processes at work, and no sign of any guiding intelligence, much to the disappointment of Snakeboy and his mistaken assertions about the cambrian explosion.
We will soon be able to build a better human, and once we do, we will show just what an "intelligent designer" can do.

No end to it....
DNA functions like a software program. We know from experience that software comes from programmers. We know generally that information—whether inscribed in hieroglyphics, written in a book or encoded in a radio signal—always arises from an intelligent source. So, the discovery of information in the DNA molecule provides strong grounds for inferring that intelligence played a role in the origin of DNA, even if we weren’t there to observe the system coming into existence.
Thus, contrary to media reports, the theory of intelligent design is not based upon ignorance or religion, but instead upon recent scientific discoveries and upon standard methods of scientific reasoning in which our uniform experience of cause and effect guides our inferences about what happened in the past.
Of course, many will still dismiss intelligent design as nothing but “religion masquerading as science.” But intelligent design is not based upon the Bible. Design is an inference from biological data, not a deduction from religious authority.
Even so, the theory of intelligent design may provide support for theistic belief. But that is not grounds for dismissing it. To say otherwise confuses the evidence for a theory and its possible implications. Many scientists initially rejected the Big Bang theory because it seemed to challenge the idea of an eternally self-existent universe and pointed to the need for a transcendent cause of matter, space and time. But scientists eventually accepted the theory despite such apparently unpleasant implications because [they thought] the evidence strongly supported it. Today a similar metaphysical prejudice confronts the theory of intelligent design.

At least have the intellectual honesty to cite your sources.
Not really an argument or evidence anyway. Just another flawed argument.
Claim CF003:
Source:
Brown, Walt, 1995. In the Beginning: Compelling evidence for creation and the Flood. Phoenix, AZ: Center for Scientific Creation, p. 13.
Response:
This question is based on some major misconceptions (addressed below). Its overriding logical error, however, is that it is an argument from ignorance. One's inability to find an answer to a question does not imply that the question has no answer.
Information is not meaning and does not, per se, imply any special structure or function. Any arrangement implies information; the information is how the arrangement is described. If a new arrangement occurs, whether spontaneously or from the outside, new information is assembled in the process. Even if the arrangement consists of shattering a glass into tiny pieces, that means assembling new information.
Nothing needs to assemble itself. Evolution and abiogenesis do not exclude outside influences; on the contrary, such outside influences are essential. In abiogenesis, it is observed that complex organic molecules easily form spontaneously due to little more than basic chemistry and energy from the sun or from the earth's interior. In evolution, information from the environment is communicated to genomes indirectly via natural selection against varieties that do not do well in that environment.

Fallacy: Appeal to Popularity
Also Known as: Ad Populum
Description of Appeal to Popularity
The Appeal to Popularity has the following form:
Most people approve of X (have favorable emotions towards X).
Therefore X is true.
The basic idea is that a claim is accepted as being true simply because most people are favorably inclined towards the claim. More formally, the fact that most people have favorable emotions associated with the claim is substituted in place of actual evidence for the claim. A person falls prey to this fallacy if he accepts a claim as being true simply because most other people approve of the claim.

And it will be wrong again or need a better model again, I am sure of it.
The Earth is still thought to be round, and populations of organisms change over time.
They both hold solid. Just because you don't like or understand these current models does not invalidate them.
You are totally in over your head Blues Brother.
Go memorize a list, thinking is not something you do well.
Thinking for yourself is so hard, it requires, like reading and stuff.

Mouse walks into a sinkhole again.
Hey mouse man, did you know some people are actually born with tails and have them snipped off? I betcha didn't. Just like you never heard of chicken born with teeth. I guess it was a miracle to upset you.

Fallacy: Ad Hominem
Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).
Science gets things wrong, has done, and will do.
Problem is that the attack "science was wrong before" has no bearing on whether it is right about this.
More infantile fail.

Science is wonderfully self-correcting in that.

If you have the time, you should watch that. Wonderfully put together, simple, well-paced, and hits all the major points.
It talks about the self-correcting aspect of science, as does the "burden of proof" video that I post from the same channel.

Why act like I'm alone with this? Billions and billions of us don't buy that silliness.
I live in Asia and is very surprised that almost all religious people here accepts evolution. When I asked them why they said its because of what the Dalai Lama said... "If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality."

We were never a fish, how anyone can believe that is amazing, But why? We share obvious similarities with fish. We can trace intermediary species that connect our branches. The timelines work. Accepting we were made by an arbitrary Bronze Age god (who could be different if certain battles had been lost, and who hasn't communicated directly in 2 millennia) from nothing, and that no inter-species variations have occurred since then is more believable? If so, again: why? It's ok not to know, but if you're going to posit that you do, you should explain yourself, chief.

Well you had gill slits as an embryo.
Hate to break the news.
Hopefully they are gone.
Some poor kids are born with openings and have them sewn shut.
Amazing world isn't it Avante? You also had a long tail, hope it shortened up. Mine did but damn it still hurts to fall on it. Maybe take a look at the pictures again. They do have some words you will have to read though damnit.
