    wow, what a compelling scientific argument... You like different types of flowers, ergo, god made different types of animals! :rolleyes:

    Present them and win yourself a Nobel prize. Like i have said, To invalidate evolution simply make a discovery which should not exist according to evolutionary theory. Something like a gene for feathers in the human genome or a rabbit in the precambrian.

    What you are basically doing is bringing no evidence supporting your idea, ignoring the mountains of evidence contradicting your idea and asking us to take your word that god done it... And that is just simply not good enough.

    yes, The correct side supported by evidence and the incorrect side supported by nothing... guess which one is yours.

    But you just said...



    and what about this molecule could I not in theory put together a lab then take the egg of a human and then take the sperm of a dog and create a new species couldn't i call that evolution?

    If this is true then how come we haven't seen this in nature yet, but only under our supervision in a lab. And if you tell me that this stuff only happened way back then, then your really grasping.

    Listen I do believe in evolution in the case that it can change a species but none the less, it does not effectively explain how the first cells came to be.

    If you want to prove this argument then you need an example from nature because you would be surprised at what we can manipulate with in a lab environment. Also do you have any proof that this is a very very primitive cell. No. Just another theory. Fact of the matter is were still far away from creating life from non living if it is possible.

    I was explaining the complexity of the cell, Not it's origin.

    No you couldn't. A dog sperm wont fertilise a human egg. What you could do is swap genes around within the sperm or egg to a sufficient degree and technically create a new species... It wouldn't be evolution in the same sense because it wasn't a result of natural mutations and natural selection. It's not a result of the process identified by Darwin.

    We don't see new life forming now because it would be instantly devoured. When life first started there was nothing to destroy it. Now we have a planet full of predators, including bacteria, which would instantly attack a primitive cell the second it formed.

    Like i said.. Evolution isn't a theory explaining the origin of life, it's a theory explaining the diversity of life.

    There are theories explaining the origins of the first cell, They are in their early stages, But they are supported by all the obersavations. Evolution isn't one of them though, because like i have said, repeatedly, Evolution isn't a theory explaining the origin of life, it's a theory explaining the diversity of life.
