Question:
Creationist explain this?
2010-01-18 08:19:00 UTC
Why polar bears are have see-through fur for camoflauge (Remember, their habitat wasn't always full of snow)
Why moths used to be a lovely white colour, just a hundred years ago to blend with the trees. now the trees have darkend with polution so have the moths, most moths you will see now are very dark.
Why so many skulls and skelitons have prooved evolution of man (dont say they're just rocks, even amatur arceoligists are smart enough to tell the difference)
Why we still have a small tail bone and humans are still born today with fully-funtioning tails.
Why whales, dolphins and snakes have solid evidence on hind legs.
OH. They evolved.
So please explain :]

Natural Selection is the process whereby a series of variations already within a population gets winnowed down to the few that are best suited to any particular environment. This is not a matter of adding anything new to the genetic material of the population, but simply weeding out what is not working as well as some other variations. For instance, a population of bears which wandered north at some point gradually lost members with less fat, less aggressiveness, and darker fur, eventually leaving us with the white, aggressive, and fat-layered polar bears. There may have been some mutations or combinations which increased the fat or the aggressiveness or the lightness of color, but nothing which changed the essential "bear-ness" of the beast.



This is radically different from the type of evolution which posits that some kind of unicellular organism, through millions of mutations, became that bear in the first place.



The bottom line is that natural selection, by itself, is powerless to create. It is a process of 'culling', of choosing between several things which must first be in existence. There is no known natural law through which matter can give rise to information, neither is any physical process or material phenomenon known that can do this.

Why polar bears are have see-through fur for camouflage (Remember, their habitat wasn't always full of snow)



http://blog.sciencegeekgirl.com/2008/01/18/is-polar-bear-fur-transparent/

The reason we can’t see through the “transparent” hair directly to the polar bear’s skin (eek! naked polar bear!) is that the hairs are hollow. The air inside the hollow space in the hair bounces the white light from the air back to our eye, sort of like millions of tiny mirrors tilted at tons of different angles. The result is that we see a white bear.

Even though polar bears are white, their hair is actually colorless



its not evolution their hair has no color

its the same hair a brown or black bear has but has no color





Why moths used to be a lovely white color, just a hundred years ago to blend with the trees. now the trees have darken with pollution so have the moths, most moths you will see now are very dark.



two populations of moth white and dark. the white moths existed more because they blended in with their surroundings. the dark moths were eaten more. the trees darkened. now the white moths have decreased because they no longer are protected and the dark moths flourish. its not evolution





Why so many skulls and skeletons have proved evolution of man (don't say they're just rocks, even amateur archeologist's are smart enough to tell the difference)

they haven't their just guesses.

such as dinosaurs were said to have evolved into birds but true science proved it never happened

http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_articles/theropod_dinosaurs_evolved_birds_not_likely_says_study



Why we still have a small tail bone and humans are still born today with fully-funtioning tails.

Why whales, dolphins and snakes have solid evidence on hind legs.



we don't science assumes it was a tail bone its not just another of their false assumptions.



whales and dolphins don't

snakes had legs even the bible said they did before god changed them.

Really? Solid evidence? Where?

"Why moths used to be a lovely white colour, just a hundred years ago to blend with the trees. now the trees have darkend with polution so have the moths, most moths you will see now are very dark"... how is this evolution?

That's like saying Michael Jackson evolved from a black man to a white man... there's your proof! Aww man he's dead... there goes the only evidence you had...



All these so-called solid evidence you speak is not as solid as you think they are...



Piltdown man: Found in a gravel pit in Sussex England in 1912, this fossil was considered by some sources to be the second most important fossil proving the evolution of man—until it was found to be a complete forgery 41 years later. The skull was found to be of modern age. The fragments had been chemically stained to give the appearance of age, and the teeth had been filed down!



Nebraska man: A single tooth, discovered in Nebraska in 1922 grew an entire evolutionary link between man and monkey, until another identical tooth was found which was protruding from the jawbone of a wild pig.



Java man: Initially discovered by Dutchman Eugene Dubois in 1891, all that was found of this claimed originator of humans was a skullcap, three teeth and a femur. The femur was found 50 feet away from the original skullcap a full year later. For almost 30 years Dubois downplayed the Wadjak skulls (two undoubtedly human skulls found very close to his "missing link").



Orce man: Found in the southern Spanish town of Orce in 1982, and hailed as the oldest fossilized human remains ever found in Europe. One year later officials admitted the skull fragment was not human but probably came from a 4 month old donkey. Scientists had said the skull belonged to a 17 year old man who lived 900,000 to 1.6 million years ago, and even had very detail drawings done to represent what he would have looked like.

Take note of this last one... 'Scientists had said the skull belonged to a 17 year old man who lived 900,000 to 1.6 million years ago'... 700,000 year gap in between... that's a pretty big gap... we just discovered electricity a couple hundred years ago... and look how far we've gone with that technology...

I personally think that if the Earth and humans were around that long... we would've been flying around in cars... a long time ago... there would be video footage of people from the Bible.

This carbon dating has got to go... find a more accurate way to determine how old something is. Or do we keep it because if we really knew how old these fossils were it would make evolutionists seem a bit... how do I put this... Dumb??

Why ask , "Why?".Because life is a mystery. How do you explain your uniqueness ? Are you like all other atheists ? Do you socialize, have clubs, meet at annual conventions, ? etc. Are there atheist fashion catalogs? Are there convicted murderers in prisons that are atheists? You know the ones that have no fear of the Laws of man or God. If you are called to testify in court and the bailiff asks you to raise your right hand and place your left hand on the Bible and asks, "To you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?". Do you have the conviction to stand on the witness stand can refuse to "Swear to God" because to don't believe in the existence of God? Would that be considered ,"Contempt of Court" and you could go to jail with all the freaks ? Atheists don't care what I think so why should I care what they think ? Why are atheist here in this section of "Answers"? Why are you here ? Don't pat yourself on the back to much, you might hurt your arm.

Polar bears, never knew they were see-through, as to why one needs camoflauge when theyre more or less top of the food chain, and neednt hide from anything, other than human hunters, who get em anyway, i dont know.



Moths still are white, some, some are greenish, some of us are black, some white, maybe we should turn green to blend in with the grass? Of course, if God/Allah was to make animals, surely he'd make them fit in to their surroundings, otherwise theyd die, thus wasting his time. If i were to go out to the arctic, would my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandkids turn into polar bears?. Evolution says we come from water, right? Well, i'm not gonna stick my neck out and say the following supports or rejects evolution or any part of it, but make of it what you will:



"And God has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. God creates what He wills for verily God has power over all things. (The Noble Quran, 24:45)"



One question, if there's no God, where did we all come from?

They can't explain why those things are apparent. All they can fo is cherry-pick arguments...

thundercat, where did the matter come from? That is a good question but the Bible deity is not even a realistic reason as to where/why.

Adam's rib, same to you....oh, and I wouldn't be so self-assured that there aren't other herd-type mammals with some of those same qualities that humans have....don't forget..as superior as we are intellectually to most animals, something as unintelligent as a lion could easily kill a human...and it's known to have happened, regardless of faith. Humans are hardly superior or all that important in all situations.

explain why this is does not disprove God and His Creation. Also, if you are so intelligient to query all of these things, why could you not spell:



sp. skeletons sp. proved sp. amature sp. archeologist sp. functioning correctly



The answer to your question is that God in His wisdom is in control and takes care of His creation, polar bears, moths, whales dolphins and snakes may have evolved from any form prior in the species of animals changing with God allowing that seeing they needed protection from the predators of their food chain, but, no man evolved from an animal, the species is not the same, I want to see this human with a fully functioning tail, I know that anatomy teaches of the coccyx which is not or ever has been an appendage for a tail.



But if you say we have fully functioning tails, where is the one that the ape should have? this is proposterous, i know the atheist must be facepalm as you say on this. sad. sad and country.

Weak question.



Explain what gave the DNA the instruction to change color?



Explain how a lizard can think it needs wings and then grows then without any DNA to produce them?



Explain why humans have no natural predator?



Explain the evolution of the Platypus, a duck billed, beaver tailed mammal that lays eggs?



Explain why Humans in the same regions as the polar bears have not grown fur like every other mammal in the region?



Evolution is a theoretical mess.



Peace be with you

I don't know if anyone really knows for sure. I know evolution is taught in school, I think they should spend more time teaching the many other possibilities, The more books I read the more I realize how much I don't know. Sort of going around in circles with questions and no real answers.

Microevolution is really microcreation, what you would expect to see if we all started out with DNA.



Did you see the recent article about Neandertals, that they wore makeup? Previous articles mentioned they made musical instruments, have burial rituals for their dead, and draw a lot better than this Engineer.

Not all Creationists deny evolution. They just say some Deity or deities allowed it to happen or had a hand in it.

A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and his mother told him to pray to God for it. He prayed and prayed for two weeks, but nothing turned up. Then he decided perhaps he should write God a letter requesting the $100.00.



When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they opened it up and decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a check for $5.00. He thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.



The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank-you letter to God, which ran as follows:



Dear God: Thank you very much for the money. I noticed that you had to send it through Washington. As usual, they deducted $95.00 for themselves.

Sin causes things not to be so pure; it corrupts; it causes chemical imbalances. Sin has many bad effects on the human body. Proverbs 26:2 "a curse without a cause does not come." Curses are caused by sin.



The Bible fully explains God's laws of mankind and God's laws of nature.

I don't need to. No matter how much you debunk creation, it is still true, for creation is God's word while evolution is of Satan.

Micro-Evolution such as colors, shapes of bird's beaks, etc. ? Sure.



Macro-Evolution where we came from nothing, then out of the slime to be interactive, reasoning, innovative life? No.



Got missing link? Got an explanation of the origins of the first matter?

Sounds like troll evolution.
2010-01-18 08:26:38 UTC
because God created them that way. Doesn't He have a great sense of design.

i could explain it...but you have a priori commitment to evolution...in your statements you aren't showing a sincere interest but a closed mind sure that what you believe is the truth, while failing to acknowledge that everything is interpreted by people...creationism everything is interpreted by people...
