are evolutionists theories changing?

[apothanein kerdos]

The OP is dealing with astronomy and not biological evolution. Of course every scientific theory will change if new evidence is presented that challenges the status quo. This is a good thing.

Exactly. Biological evolution and cosmic evolution are completely different things. And progress comes from revision and observation, it isn't a bad thing that scientists rework their theorys and ideas when trying to find truth.

I'd like a Christian to answer my question: Why do we have organs in our bodies that are no longer of use to us? Like, the appendix, the coccyx bone, etc. I am a Christian, but I don't have enough information to support a complete creationist point of view. We were talking about organ removal at our ladies fellowship, and when I think of that conversation, it would seem that I have only evolutionary views on the subject.

Very interesting article. Thanks!

All of our organs have a function, it's just we can live without some organs. This shows more design than anything else. We have organs that, when working properly, allow for optimal function within humans. However, if some of them were to shut down, we could still live. That is the beauty of a designed system. It's like if the radio in your car breaks - your car will still run, but you've lost a luxury.

It's interesting, but as usual with AiG, it's just plain wrong. It claims 180 vestigial organs have become zero. That's simply nonsense. Where did that figure of 180 come from? I've never heard any such claim, nor indeed anything near it. To be sure we now know what the pineal gland does, etc etc, but the coccyx is still useless to us and has no function. Maybe HorizonEast can tell us what exactly he does with his? Interestingly, the human embryo does form a full tail, with about 10 vertebrae, most of which die off later in development. If they didn't die, we would all have short, waggable tails. Maybe HorizonEast has a recessive gene which gives him one?

The appendix has no use to the human body with our current diet. It is a vestigial organ that used to be used for digestion of cellulose from rough vegetation. Yes, it does have antibody protection mechanisms, but they are secondary to its original use. These antibodies are not required - we also have them elsewhere in the gut.

Another vestigial leftover is body hair, which has no function. Most of us just have very light hair, and when we get cold we get 'goose-bumps', whose function is to keep us warm by standing our hair on end. Very useful if you are a hairy mammal, a waste of effort for humans.

I really don't see the need for the personal attacks that are getting more and more frequent here at Worthy. Like the one above. It would seem that one who cannot debate throws insults.

I think you're being far too sensitive, Glory2000. It had a smiley after the comment, indicating humour. No offence was intended.

THE FAITH OF EVOLUTION

.....what I learned here.....

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1 Timothy 4:1-2

A careful examination of the changing reasoning and the twisting apologetics of the evolutionist at Worthy leads me to form a few Evolutionary Facts and Theories of my own.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Galatians 6:7-8)

A pattern quickly emerged from within these misty boards of elucidate hyperbole.

The learned defenders of an absurd tale of men losing tails and scales and puppy dog nails still gleefully ignore factual science.

No excuse for people who's vocation is science.

Mixing their precisely measured work with science-fiction seems silly but there you are!

Some even resort to childish jeers and sneers and making sophomoric anatomical jokes about a fellow's gene count to further explain their "weird science" called evolution.

In their defense, this may be the very same humor they use with their friends and family.

Although this did seem to happen just as young Christians were receiving a proper scientific education with correct scientific facts to discredit the fairy tales of evolution.

Hummmm!

Wonder if this was a random happy accident.

Some evolutionary zealots even use $10 dollar words to evangelize 10
