Why the burden of proof lies with creationists

Or, what creationists would have to prove to be taken seriously.

I made a mistake in the very first sentence of this video. It should of course be "living things", not simply "things".
Oh well, I hope the point comes across clearly anyway.

LOL! At 1:06 you ask if there is any kind empirical evidence that there is a limit to evolution. How about the fact that "macro" evolution is yet to be observed? Seems to me that if YOU believe it then it is you who needs to come up with the evidence. NOT speculation, or extrapolation, but evidence. Show ONE transitional form. Show just ONE example of small changes making a totally new creature (i.e. lizard to bird like your illustration). Just ONE would do & you could shut us up forever.

Apparently not, because we have found hundreds. Also, whoops, guess you forgot to read the channel rules.

Blocked.

"How about the fact that "macro" evolution is yet to be observed?" - as micro and macro evolution are part of the same process (evolution) and the only difference is the ACCUMULATION of changes overtime, unless u can find a mechanism to prevent the accumulation of changes then you cant disprove it.

to say micro happens and macro doesnt is the same as saying you can walk a metre but u cant walk a mile.

"Show ONE transitional form" -

archyopterix (reptile-bird)

Study anthropology you'll quickly discover the flood "myth" doesnt just come from the bible. It is in fact root of 230 cultures.

science has not proven anything like evolution occured. but that is the nature of religious dogma. isn't it? next the burden of proof will alway lay with those who claim theirs to a SCIENTIFIC position. christians who are honest only ever claim to have a religious position based on their own faith. as a believer in science one must provide proof for their claims, like evolving genomes. natural selection? of what? prexisting genetic traits. face it you disbelieve because you are free to do so

Apparently creationists missed the grain of sand example in college.

@TREACLE97

Because saying "it was the MagicMan wot dun it" is obviously very scientific.

[StupidCreationist]

@TREACLE97 I agree with you. Evolution is the Devil's lie because we can't possibly be related to primates, that's absurd. It's more probable and much more scientific to believe that early humans actually evolved from dirt and a rib bone, and that every living organism today is a product of incest. It clearly says so in God's Holy Scripture. I believe it, so it must be true.

[TREACLE97]

'Science has proven that things evolved' - is that a scientific thing, because it sounds like a bullshit intro to me...not very scientific at all because it is untrue.

[00kelevra00]

Funny how Noah took only two of every animal onto his boat and yet there was no incest? Same thing with Adam and Eve. Religion is the root of all evil.

@aThinkingChristian Ok, Dr. what is the truth? I'd also like the evidence for your argument. If it can not stand over above the mountain of evidence for evolution, you must admit you are wrong, and that evolution is more likely to be true than any theistic myth. Or you are a liar. Intellectual dishonesty is the same as telling bald-faced lies. Also, where did you get your doctorate in biology? Seeing as how you know more about it than biologists.

@badpanda84 grand scale evolutionary theory says fishes to amphibians, amphibians to reptiles, reptiles to birds and mammals.

[badpanda84]

@aThinkingChristian So what do you belive- that everything was created at the same time. that dinosaur were created at the same time as humans Then explain why we dont see dinosaur fossil next to human fossils.

Also for natural selection =/= random chance.

The only reason people are agaist evoultoin is because they belive it goes agaist the relgious beliefs.
