Criticisms of Darwinism: all welcome to comment.

Here is a primer so we know what we are criticising:

[Lord Hillyer]

Darwin is dead. I suppose he stopped evolving.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

I still can't figure out if Darwinists think we supposedly morphed from monkeys or from tree shrew ancestors, there seems to be several schools of thought out there about this.

Also, how did cold-blooded reptiles supposedly morph into a warm-blooded birds, and why is this not happening today?

Most of the creatures in the fossil record look like extant animals, so how can this be, after "hundreds of millions of years of years of Darwinian evolution?"

 

[spidergoat]

It's both. All mammals had a common ancestor, and later on all primates had a common ancestor.

Cold Blooded reptiles have largely found their ecological niches, and warm blooded birds as well. If all birds died, then perhaps eventually something would replace them.

Many of the creatures in the fossil record look nothing like creatures today. Have you been to a natural history museum?

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

I agree, never didn't agree.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

I agree with the first sentence of the third paragraph, I should have said.

 

[spuriousmonkey]

If all birds died, then perhaps eventually something would replace them.

The bats are lurking in the shadows to take over. The insects are already master of the air.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

And they'll still be bats and birds, or will be remaining birds morph into bats?

 

[spidergoat]

morph=evolve

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

morph = Darwinianly evolve

 

[spidergoat]

Just use the correct terminology. Birds cannot evolve into bats, since they are not mammals.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Well, reptiles supposedly morphed into birds, but reptiles are not warm blooded, so what is your point?

 

[Chatha]

Is it possible to evolve backwards? He never stated that

 

[smile_on_a_rainyday]

Birds cannot evolve into bats, since they are not mammals.

although.... that would be cool!

if you get bored of your own species....you could transform into something a lot more interesting!

The Darwinian Morphotron.

sounds like a sophisticated robot from a crap sci fi film!!!

 

[spidergoat]

Well, reptiles supposedly morphed into birds, but reptiles are not warm blooded, so what is your point?

Not directly. Reptiles became dinosaurs, which might have had quite a different metabolism than reptiles. Birds evolved from Dinosaurs, not reptiles.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Were dinosaurs luke warm blooded?

 

[Athelwulf]

Guys. Don't waste your time on a guy that's stubbornly stuck in the past. Nothing will convince him of reality, as either his will to not see it is too strong, or reality is too strong for him to see.

 

[IceAgeCivilizations]

Darwinian theory is muddled at best, most people know this.
