Comments on: Accepting the Idea of Extinction

One of the best examples of evolution as well as extinction theory is the story of the evolution of the horse from it’s ancient ancestors. The horse did not evolve linearly, but through many branches until finally, there is but one genus Equus and eight species. The story of Equus agrees with geological events and plate tectonics as well as the predictable changes in the Earth’s climate based on periodic glacial and interglacial eras that have occurred in an amazingly predictable manner throughout time. These variations in the tilt of the plane of the Earth’s axis explain why the Northern hemisphere is in a warming phase while Antartic ice sheets grow thicker. This theory is currently the most accepted by NASA.

Simply because the world has changed does not prove that the Creationist belief is bunk. The world changes; this is a universal truth that cannot be denied by either Evolutionists or Creationists. What is meant by “the earth is the way it was 600 years ago when God created it” is that the processes are the same. Plants, animals, people reproduce and die. Wind erodes mountains, the sea deposits sediment, and the tectonic plates shift. These processes do not change without an external force acting on them.

Evolution v. Flat Earth Society

Hard to see that this debate is not simply a continuation of: “The earth can’t possibly revolve around the sun!” Or, “Heavenly bodies can’t possibly have elliptical orbits!” And even, “The Moon can’t possibly have mountains.” All scientific discoveries outrageously violating deeply held religious beliefs. Today, with tons of fossils housed in universities, museums and the like, added to that the fact that we can see real-time evolution in tiny fast-breeding organisms, the denial of evolution through natural selection has truly become Flat Earth Society. If a Creator needs to be kept central, why not bite the reality bullet and simply say that God set the whole thing into motion, or that he monitors the entire amazing process? That could never be proven wrong. This would save a lot of time and energy of having to have fall-back battle after fall-back battle as scientific evidence embarrassingly piles up to Everest heights. But the most important thing is that, whether God created the earth’s species or not, surely almost everyone should be able to agree that we have no right to conduct our current campaign of mass extermination against them.

How about God (i.e. aliens) comes periodically and “refreshes” the flora and fauna on the Earth with new models of species with genetic enhancement… or something like that… I still don’t believe in evolution as a “natural” process.
