Evolution vs Creationism

I have a question regarding evolution and creationism and wanted to share it with others. It is a proposal for the reassessment of both ideas.

Please share your thoughts - I try to reply to all comments.

the extinction event that wipped all large animals of the face of the earth. as for the whole confusing early man thing well dint many aspects of the bible confuse early man aswell? oh wait they were to stupid to think about it and they accepted it on blind faith no matter the amazingly impossible events it claimed. aswell intelligence isnt a the single skill that makes a species successful the T-rex dint need amazing intelligence because it was huge and went after large unintelligent prey.

the theory of evolution describes all of these vestigal organs on dino's such as the giant fins which arent vestigal they actually help heat up the animal in the early hours of the day. also the same dino's werent around for the enterity of 160,000,000 years they continued to evolve. also there was a direct correlation to brain size to mass when it came to dino's the larger ones had smaller brain's and the smaller ones had larger brain's which explains why there ancestors survived the cont:

@GOODTHOUGHTSUK Punctuated equilibrium (not sure of the spelling there :) ) explains why evolution start and stops and starts again over and over again. In crocodiles IQ wont get passed on because its not a skill that the females like, the want big sexy claws and fangs and then they are happy. so that is why tho crocodile most like will not get smarter no matter how much evolution works on them.

In the history of life on earth, extinction is the most common fate of all species. The evolution of our level of intelligence has happened...well, once as far as I know, and it's still not understood exactly how. It is a misconception that greater intelligence is an obvious "goal" of evolution. Evolution doesn't have goals. Having our level and type of intelligence is a rare and unnecessary oddity.

None of the examples of dinosaurs were inconsistent with evolution. It's hard to be sure why some seemingly useless feature evolved millions of years ago, but that doesn't mean there isn't a simple explanation. Deer antlers seem pretty strange and useless until you realize that they are just a result of mating behavior. The spines too weak for defense could have other benefits: it could be a bluff to appear larger or more dangerous. It could be a sort of radiator for hot climates, etc.

Evolution is seperate from creation/ the big bang.

1:57 those large sails were used to collect heat and warm the dinosaur's blood

@thetrazor But in your answer you agree that intelligence would have some evolutionarily relevant influence and so surely if it had even a tiny effect wouldn't it grow over millions of years? There are quite a few theories that we've had for a long time that are now falling down under closer examination. I think this has always been reasonable but limited in how it explains the great diversity we see.

@GOODTHOUGHTSUK There is lots of subspeices on crocodiles...

C. niloticus

C. acutus

C. intermedius

C. rhombifer

C. moreletii

To just name a few... then there is also alligators and kaimans who are closely related...

and its not all about intelligence a crocodile that is stronger, faster and more "stealthy" then a more intelligent one would prob survive better then a slightly more intelligent one...

Evolution have never stopped and it do fit the observed result perfectly...

@GOODTHOUGHTSUK Look up species of crocodiles or any other animal
