Barbarian regarding evolved lizards:

Just evolved to adapt to their new environment.   Adaptations include stronger jaws, a new digestive organ, and behavioral changes (no longer territorial, because there's no need for it in herbivores).  That's what evolution is.

If they are still lizards they did not evolve.  That is not what e4volution is.  

Yes, that's what evolution is.   Remember, it's a "change in allele frequency in a population over time."   Which is what we see here.   The evolution of a new digestive organ in such a short time is remarkable.

If you use and incorrect definition it isn't real biology.  It became necessary for evolution to invent a new definition because he real one didn't work for them.

The old one is "descent with modification" (Darwin's term).   It's still right,but after the rediscovery of genetics, the current scientific definition is more specific.   Even creationist organizations admit that species change and new ones appear.

Some may, most do not. 

I notice that the Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis, the two largest creationist organizations, admit the fact of speciation.   No point in denying it,since it's directly observed.

As creationists, we must frequently remind detractors that we do not deny that species vary, change, and even appear over time

Answers in Genesis

Of course a species will change because of  dominant genes, but they only changes traits.  It does not change the species.

As you now realize, your fellow creationists disagree with you.   They admit the fact of speciation.

1 hour ago, omega2xx said:

Take your own advice and try and post some evidence to support you lack of knowledge.  For example the one I ask and said you will not answer---What causes a change in an allele frequency. 

You have been repeatedly reminded what does that.   Mutation, recombination by sexual reproduction, and natural selection are major causes of changes in allele frequencies.

You have to go back to Gen 1:21,although that verse may be  limited to  water creatures and birds.  However since there was no cattle, beast or creeping things, the had to be created ex nihilo.

As you learned, God rejects the YE creationist belief of life ex nihilo, telling you that life was brought forth by the Earth.   No point in denying His word.

Yes. And you are the only one here claiming that this isn't evolution. Let me help define evolution for you. Since you do not trust my qualified opinion,

 

I am going to copy definitions from several different sources so you can see that I'm not making up an inaccurate definition.

In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection.

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

Biological evolution is the change in inherited traits over successive generations in populations of organisms.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/biological-evolution

evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/evolution.htm

Quote

Biological evolution is defined as any genetic change in a population that is inherited over several generations.

https://www.thoughtco.com/biological-evolution-373416

To put it simply, the actual definition of evolution does not require a change in species. Now, virtually all biologists agree that evolution commonly leads to the development of new species, but this is not a requirement.

3 hours ago, omega2xx said:

Yes, interbreeding can lead to sterility effects. It does not, however, lead to speciation.

Speciaetion   DOES NOT change the species.  Therefore it does not support evolution.

Again, since you won't take my word for it, let me try to use someone else's words to try to make the point clear to you.

Defining speciation

Speciation is a lineage-splitting event that produces two or more separate species.

 

https://www.thoughtco.com/biological-evolution-373416

Speciation does indeed make new species. The two (or more) new species may look the same, but they are indeed new species.

I provided evidence for evolution in the lizards. Salamanders and gulls do not have anything to do with the example that clearly shows verifiable evidence.

Unless you can understand that to suppoort evolution, the species must change, you will never understand evolution.  You need to get out of the box Darwin and his evangelist have put you in.

I provided verifiable evidence for evolution when you claimed there was none. This has nothing to do with salamanders, gulls, boxes, or evangelists. I gave you facts. You don't seem interested in facts.

3 hours ago, omega2xx said:

We can observe it during the process before two distinct species are formed.

Not only can you not, you can't give me an example of a species EVOLVING into 2 distinct species

I gave you examples. You didn't look at them. I cannot control what you read and don't read. Insisting that I can't give you examples when I absolutely gave you examples is reminiscent of a 4 year-old child that closes his eyes and covers his ears when confronted with something he doesn't want to admit.

3 hours ago, omega2xx said:

"After their kind" does no such thing. Progeny are always the same kind as their parents, even if they differ slightly in their traits.

Yes that is true and it refutes evolution.  If the progeny is ALWAYS  thee same species, and it is, as you just stated,  evolution has not happened.

As changes accumulate over time, then it is possible for speciation to occur. A portion of a population can accumulate changes to the point that the particular portion can become an entirely new species. I have given you examples of this and you won't look at them.

3 hours ago, omega2xx said:

You have repeatedly demonstrate a lack of understanding of basic science. I don't think you are a fair judge of what definition is used by the scientific community.

I know you have demonstrated a lack of basic knowledge  of genetics. 

You are funny, I'll give you that.

3 hours ago, omega2xx said:

You have been indoctrinated with false definition and the strange idea that evolution can be  supported by the species remaining the same.  That is contradictory.

You are missing the obvious because you won't stop and think a little bit. Small, incremental changes in portions of a population can lead to the development of a new species that is slightly different from the rest of the population.

Show me one of your assertions that you HAVE supported with evidence. That would be manageable. The list of things you can't or won't support isn't manageable.

The fact that the digestive system changes in such a short time also indicates a mutation.  I said you would not explain how an allele frequency can change, and I was right.  Want to give it a shot or would you rather I keep reminding you of something you can't do?

If  it was specific, you would have so fact supporting  it.  you don't have any.   I challenge you to poss where a creationists organization has said species change.  Another thing you can't do.

I notice that the Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis, the two largest creationist organizations, admit the fact of speciation.   No point in denying it,since it's directly observed.

Speciation does happen in accordance with evolution's man-made definition, but it does not =change the species. 

As creationists, we must frequently remind detractors that we do not deny that species vary, change, and even appear over time

You have been repeatedly reminded what does that.   Mutation, recombination by sexual reproduction, and natural selection are major causes of changes in allele frequencies.

Your usual MO, talk and no evidence.  Thanks for verifying something I already knew You don't understand mutations., and you can't prove natural selection.  You have accepted a false statmenet by faith alone.

Love, peace, joy

How can He reject YE when He doesn't even mention the age  for the earth?  He doesn't.  You just don't like the idea,so you make up something not covered in God's inspired and inerrant word.  Tell me what does "created" means in Hebrew?  If there is no universe one minute and there is one the next minute., and there was nothing to created it from, what is that called?

No point in reading God's word if you aren't going to study it.

Making up definition is easy.  Proving them is a different matter.  That you can't do.  Let me give you something to think about a lot:  All offspring are slightly different based on the dominant and recessive gene pool of the parents, but they NEVER result in a change of the species of their parents and they will only produce offspring of the same, exact species as they are, their parents are and their grand  parents are all the way back to Adam and Eve.  To get a new species the gene pool  of the parents would have to acquire at least one gene it did not have and probably several it did not have.  There  is no way that can happen.

Allele frequencies can change, sure. New mutations can also occur. New combinations of alleles can also enter the picture due to recombination from mitosis. New genes can be introduced by horizontal gene transfer. New genes can actually form from non-coding DNA. Genomes change over time due to a wide variety of different causes.

But... as you have been shown, sometimes those changes do lead to different species. The change usually takes many generations and the resulting new species is different in small ways from a previous species. You have also been shown evidence of errors in gamete generation that can lead to a completely new species in the next generation.

I understand that it is difficult to reconsider what you assume to be true, but it is even harder when you won't even look at the evidence.

    • 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.
