As you probably got this from a creationist website I did the opposite and googled an evolution website. How about Antillean Piculet (no hammering), wrynecks (lack tailfeathers) and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers (no long tongue) or Bathoceleus hyphalus (probable ancient woodpecker) as transitional species ?

@scrap222666 I came up with this on my own while I was... you know. Critically thinking. Like Atheists tell me to do. I guess I'm not allowed to think on my own if I question THEM, too.

Those are all living species... Aren't they supposed to be, you know, DEAD and replaced by woodpeckers? Like what humans and chimps did with our "common ancestor"?

If we're using living species as examples, then I could probably show you how chimps COULD evolve into butterflies.

You should call into the Atheist Experience, really. And present them with this 'argument.' It'd be fun to watch...

[RocknForJesus]

@TimGBone You know. I would, but I've seen enough talk shows to know that A) They'll talk their way out of it, just as I've seen them do before, or B) There'd be no point. I'm not going to revolutionize the "scientific" Atheist community by using this Evolution of the Gaps I discovered them using.

"Evolution revolves around survival." Haa! In a universe destined to die, according to science? Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense, right?

Not only this, but if the universe (or multiverse) has the ability to create itself from nothing, then why would the matter within it care about surviving?

Cuckoo!

@RocknForJesus A) They don't just talk, they use this nifty cool thing called reason and B) I think the fact that you might learn something about reality constitutes a reasonable point

@TheSquirrel8485 His arguments against evolution are very weak, actually. You don't need to give him any ground at all by saying "at least evolution has some evidence". It does yes, but he doesn't understand what a gap in knowledge means, he doesn't understand what a theory is at all. Read my comments on this page.

[TheSquirrel8485]

At least evolution has some evidence. there isn't any good evidence that i know of that god exists. Why dont you make some videos explaining what convinced you there is a god instead of stereotyping atheists and trying to find small loopholes in there theory. A old book filled with bizarre stories without any evidence they happened isn't enough for me to believe in god it seems to me it was used as propaganda for war a long time ago, and now to comfort people so they dont feel bad about death

[GospelRevolution1]

I've happenstantially fallen upon your videos. I did comment on an earlier video of yours, but this is probably a good introduction of the Gospel here. This video expresses an "us and them" doctrine. "We Christians" and you. That is not the doctrine of the scriptures. In Genesis 5 we see that all of the "generations" of man (all of us - NO "them") had a name, "and their name was called ADAM". And as in the FIRST ADAM, all died, in the LAST ADAM, all are made alive! Please come up for air!

@1GodOnlyOne Intelligent design has evidence? When have you seen anything biological designed or created? Or is it just the gap deal? It's so complex, it must've been designed by an intelligent creator.

[kainedamo]

Religion is not held to anything even resembling the same standard to what scientific theories are held to.

[kainedamo]

There is no double standard. You just don't understand the scientific method. Religious faith is not based on any kind of empirical evidence that is subject to principles of reasoning. "I don't want your theories", not even the theory of gravity? Theories are used to create the technology that you're sitting there using to make the video. A theory is subject to the highest standards of peer review and testing - scientists go out of their way to prove theories wrong.

[kainedamo]

When does a Christian say "I don't know" ? A Christian beliefs God exists. A Christian beliefs that this God created the Earth, and created human beings. They state these things as though they are absolute facts.

When humans did not know what lightning was, they made up a God named Zeus to explain it. When a scientist does not know the answer to something, the scientist says "let's find the answer", rather than throwing their hands up and saying "God did it".
