Suit yourself, if you want to continue spouting obviously incorrect statement in an attempt to argue, that is really up to you.

I would like to ask you a sincere question, though. Do you have any desire to learn anything in this dialogue? You seem to be perfectly comfortable making false statements, and don't seem interested in the least in any sort of correction.

You have not proved anything I have said is wrong yet and you seem perfectly comfortable making dogmatic statements, offer no supporting evidence and expect me to accept them by faith alone, which you have done.  There are plenty of PhD creation scientists, as qualified as you, maybe even better qualified, who reject what you believe. So if you want to come off as being omniscient on this subject be my guest.  To date you have not offered one scintilla of verifiable evidence. All you have done is parrot the usual, unproven, evo talking points.

Love, peace, joy

Thanks for confirming that you have no idea what constitutes evidence--Man-made are only opinions of what some person thinks happened.  THEY ARE NOT EVIDENCE.

The chart I showed you is based on genetic analysis; anyone can do the same analysis and will come up with the same data.   That's what evidence is.

You are also completely ignorant of what mutations can and can't do. 

I just showed you what they can do.   Perhaps you could learn why that's the case.   For example, the formation of entirely new genes seems to be largely by mutation of non-coding DNA:

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2015 Sep 26; 370(1678)

New genes from non-coding sequence: the role of de novo protein-coding genes in eukaryotic evolutionary innovation

Abstract

The origin of novel protein-coding genes de novo was once considered so improbable as to be impossible. In less than a decade, and especially in the last five years, this view has been overturned by extensive evidence from diverse eukaryotic lineages. There is now evidence that this mechanism has contributed a significant number of genes to genomes of organisms as diverse as Saccharomyces, Drosophila, Plasmodium, Arabidopisis and human. From simple beginnings, these genes have in some instances acquired complex structure, regulated expression and important functional roles. New genes are often thought of as dispensable late additions; however, some recent de novo genes in human can play a role in disease. Rather than an extremely rare occurrence, it is now evident that there is a relatively constant trickle of proto-genes released into the testing ground of natural selection. It is currently unknown whether de novo genes arise primarily through an ‘RNA-first’ or ‘ORF-first’ pathway. Either way, evolutionary tinkering with this pool of genetic potential may have been a significant player in the origins of lineage-specific traits and adaptations.

Do some reading, and it will go better for you.

Those pictures are not based on anything to do with genetics.  They are opinions based on the pre-conceived idea that man is an ape, that you have accepted by faith alone.

Amusing.  NOTHING in that paragraph mentioned a new gene causing a change in the species.

"Do some reading, and it will go better for you."

Look at the other side of the coin and it will go much better for you---the truth will set you free from the bondage  of pseudo science.

love, peace, joy

I don't have the time, nor do I care enough, to make a list of all the factual inaccuracies you have presented in this thread. You still cannot believe that speciation makes new species - the very definition of the process.

I think that speaks sufficiently about your desire to learn anything new.

I have no doubt about this. I would readily admit Kurt Wise is more qualified than I in many areas. However, he is willing to look at evidence, and you are not. His qualified conclusion is that there is substantial evidence for evolution - including speciation and transitional fossils.

If you truly wish me love, peace, and joy, then you should possibly reconsider your negative and belligerent attitude. (I'm offering advice, not tell you what to do)

2 or 3 will do.  Don't forget to include the verifiable science that makes me wrong.

"You still cannot believe that speciation makes new species - the very definition of the process."

You still haven't explained how salamanders remaining salamanders is evidence of evolution.  I thought the species had to change.

"I think that speaks sufficiently about your desire to learn anything new."

So now you can read my mind.  How do you do that?

"I have no doubt about this. I would readily admit Kurt Wise is more qualified than I in many areas. However, he is willing to look at evidence, and you are not. His qualified conclusion is that there is substantial evidence for evolution - including speciation and transitional fossils."

I was not referring to Kurt wise.  All of he scientist at ICR, and they all have PhD's is some field of science, reject evolution, and the fossil record.  I am not sure what they say about speciation. 

Ernst Mayr:  "The fossil record remains woefully inadequate."

Stephen Gould:  "I regard the failure to find  a clear vector of progress in life's history as the most puzzling fact of the fossil record."

If evolution was true, the great majority of fossils would be intermediates.

"One hardly needs to be omniscient to exceed your knowledge of science..."

And you accuse  me of being negative and belligerent.   That comment it insulting and self-serving. Especially since you have not show where something I said was wrong.

"I have. You chose not to look at it."

I looked at it for over 20 years and since none of them ever included any real evidence, I started asking those who posted the link to go to their link an cut and paste 1 or 2 things they offered as evidence.  None of them, including you, are willing to take 5 minuets to do that.  Barbarian posted some man-made pictures thinking that is evidence.  Do you think it is?

"If you truly wish me love, peace, and joy, then you should possibly reconsider your negative and belligerent attitude. (I'm offering advice, not tell you what to do)"

My attitude is not negative about you, it is about what you believe and also telling me I don'[ know what I am talking about.  That  is far more negative than any comment I have made about you.  You specifically told me not to do something.  That  is not advice.

Love. peace joy---If I didn't meant it, I wouldn't say it.

Creationism---Species are always after their kind---God.  Proved thousands of times every day.

Evolution---At some point a  species will produce not after their kind---Darwin.  Never proved.

Creationism---God created all life  out of nothing..

Evolution---Nothing grunted very hard  and out popped a single celled something.   It kept grunting and this single cell, became  the daddy of the millions of life forms, animal and plants. Ain't science wonderful?

2 or 3 will do.  Don't forget to include the verifiable science that makes me wrong.

I started back at the beginning and went through less than half of the pages in this thread and have a list of ten at this point.

1.  Actually speciation does not change the species. (Speciation is the process of making new species, so yes, speciation does change the species.)

2.  The inability to mate doesn't make a new species. (When populations diverge to the point that they can no longer make fertile offspring, that is one way to make new species.)

3.  Evolution has never been observed to have happened (Evolution is easily provable and constant - some of the implications of evolution, like common ancestry, are not directly observable, but are based on real, observed evidence.)

4.  I am saying it is impossible genetically to have a new species. (No, it is absolutely possible. There are several examples of genome duplications that have led to speciation within a single generation.)

5.  To produce a new species the parents must give its offspring a trait for which it has no gene. (No, the origination of new genes is not required for speciation to occur. The speciation events due to genome duplications make good examples.)

6.  There is no fossils linking man to apes. (There are quite a few fossils of hominids that show transition to modern humans.)

7.  There  is no genetic evidence linking man to apes. (There is considerable evidence suggesting common ancestry between humans and other primates.)

8.  There is a single gene for whale fins, a different one for shark fins and a single, different gene for each SPECIES  of fish. (No, this is absolutely not true. Complex physical structures are build through the combined efforts of multiple genes, including genes that determine time and place of important genes for determining structure.)

9.  Genes do not interact with each other.  The have a God given a function to perform and they do that one the they were created for and nothing else. (Genes products are intricately intertwined and the proteins they produce often have multiple functions.)

10.  Genes do not modify.  They are static. (Genomes are slightly altered each generation through a variety of mechanisms. Some of these changes occur within gene sequences. Genes are not static, but constantly modifying.)

The list could grow much, much longer, but I think this illustrates that you have some serious content knowledge gaps. I'd be happy to provide more evidence rather than my own knowledge base, so if you would like more evidence, pick anything from the list so far.

There is no shame in admitting you haven't kept up with genetic studies over the last few decades, it is just beneficial to conversation to be realistic about it. If you want to learn more, I'd be willing to help you. I'm not as interested in just arguing for the sake of argument.

That is certainly an opinion some have. Did you know that young earth creationist scientists even admit that there is substantial evidence supporting evolution?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
