"...Things become more chaotic over time, not less chaotic." Nope, that isn't what it says, and nothing in the universe has defied the law of entropy. The universe has moved from zero/lowest entropy to more and more entropy. Each second, the NET entropy of the system increases. Individual things in a system can decrease their entropy, but the system will go down. For instance, the sun is progressively losing more and more energy, but as it does that, it is shedding some of that energy onto earth, which is collecting that energy to generate more and more organized (low entropy) creatures and structures. But again, the net effect is our solar system is gaining entropy. Ever since the Big Bang, the universe has only gained entropy. The beginning of the Big Bang, the universe was compressed into a singularity, which is more organized than anything (low entropy), and after the explosion, everything since is inherently higher in entropy. I don't think you even know what the Theory of Evolution is, let alone know what you would need to show to disprove such a well established scientific Theory.

Where I struggle with Evolution being the ultimate answer is when you go from a traceable species to the jump of somehow evolution is responsible for a lizard growing wings and becoming a flying animal (not saying that is accurate, just an example). I also struggle (whether creationism or big bang) with the "yea but where did that come from" argument. Until we can explain where God came from, or how the Initial Singularity come into being then I don't care much what happened afterwards. Let's face it, the Big Bang could have come from Creationism unless we solve that problem. Or maybe, it's just came from the firmware that bootstrapped the server that is our reality.

Yeah, a lizard didn't grow wings. Species evolve, not individuals. We have examples of living transitional species, and we have fossil examples. Mudskippers are a great example of a living transitional species. It is a fish that breathes underwater and out of water, and it uses its fins to move across the ground. We have a lot of transitional fossils, but the evolution of the whale (a mammal) from a dog-like creature to a whale is a good example. It is clear how the blow hole progressively evolved over millions of years from the nose to the top of the skull. What is also cool is how whales have vestigial pelvis and leg bones, even though they evolved to not need these. The Big Bang describes a theory for the state of the universe. Maybe one day it will describe more, but science will wait to see what we discover in the future and not interject more unknowns by presupposing a deity or deities. Our minds might not be capable of comprehending or discovering what can come before we had space and time. Where and when would that happen, and if we presupposed a deity, where did that deity come from? Who created it? Maybe our deity also has a creator. If a deity could just exist forever then why couldn't a singularity exist forever or just come to be? The god of the gaps argument is a bad fallacy to make, and there becomes fewer and fewer places for a deity to fit into history when science discovers more and more about the natural world.

Geez, you must be a real hoot at Christmas time pointing out all the pagan traditions celebrated on Christmas. What do you and the other Puritans do on Christmas? https://chefin.com.au/blog/these-6-c...pagan-customs/ If we didn't evolve then why do animals have vestigial structures? If we didn't evolve then we do we have vestigial DNA? If we didn't evolve then we do we share common DNA and retroviral insertions? Even though whales look more like fish like the whale shark, why do we share more DNA in common with a whale than the whale shark? If we didn't evolve and a deity made us then why did it put nipples on men? If we didn't evolve then why does the laryngeal nerve run with the vagus nerve all the way down the neck and around the heart before coming back up the neck, which is extra far in the giraffe when it could be much shorter? Seems like bad design to me if there was a deity, but in light of evolution, it makes sense because there was small changes over time from millions of years of fish slowly evolving into reptiles slowly evolving into mammals slowly evolving into a long necked giraffe, and evolution doesn't allow for major corrections such as shortening the laryngeal nerve.

I was really into marine biology ever since I was three years old; I literally grew up watching Jacques Cousteau Oceanography films and would visit OMSI nearly every weekend. I always wanted to see a Pliosaurus fossil, since I had a toy model as a child; I was very bummed when I found out that the Pliosaurus (it was probably really a Mosasaur, but it doesn't matter because both are fake and never really existed) "fossil" I had seen at OMSI when I was a kid was a "replica" (it was fake). I really do appreciate you taking the time to explain everything that I was already indoctrinated into believing for nearly all my life. The only problem is that I already lived that lie and now I see my education for what it was (indoctrination). Trust me, I used to love "space" crap and believed all of the lies Scientism could toss my way. I'm not going back to believing in the fabricated lies that enable the Jesuit/Freemasonry agenda. Darwin was a fraud. |

If you could sell a plastic T-rex skeleton for $32 million then don't you think we would have people trying to sell large plastic dinosaur skeletons? Screw making cars, car manufactures would be making plastic dinosaur bones. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/07/t-re...auctioned.html Irreducible complexity and other arguments for intelligent design that try to refute evolution are pseudoscience nonsense. Even Behe (who was destroyed in the Dover trial) in the video literally suggests that the mouse trap could be useful with partial components when he said the rod could impale a mouse; he thinks it is unlikely, but he made an argument that partial components can make something effective. What's more, partial components can make something still evolutionarily advantageous, but just perform a different function. Evolution of bacterial flagellum: https://www.sci.news/biology/bacteri...ors-05612.html Watch this whole video because he debunks and reviews every argument from Dr. Behe in the Dover trial where Behe and friends lost and lost biggly:

FYI, fossils can be made in a very short span of time; it doesn't even take thousands of years for a fossil to be produced within the ground, when the conditions are correct. Fossils of animals that exist today are not evidence of evolution, or the earth being billions of years old lmao. |

Also looks like we have asteroid samples now. OSIRIS REx stopped by to drop off bits of Bennu and is now heading out to hang with Apophis.

What I can't map my mind around is that something that looks like a dog that happens to move his family to the beach is eventually starting the process of their 1000x grandchildren to basically be air-breathing water mammals that are 200x the size of the grandparent by breeding and no real plan.

We also have living fossils aka living transitional species. I showed pictures of the mudskipper, as an example of fish that has evolved to breathe air by having thin skin that can absorb oxygen along with a special area near its gills to supply oxygen. Its fins are evolved to make it walk/skip on land. It is a perfect example of a living transitional species showing something between a fish and amphibian. Go see these fossils yourself because you clearly haven't and need to see them in person to know for yourself, so go do it. Go see them, and let us know what you think.

I'm loving the fact that someone has discovered roaming pairs of planets.. Unsure why they are seen as pairs then they are light years apart...
