and it is a common knowledge that a heart "beat" is what is keeping us alive in this frequency of reality.

[shiftas2]

judging from what i read from both sides i wouldn't rule either out, correct me if i am wrong, the bible says "god said let their be light and there was light" if this is correct then it would be safe to say god was sound, and my basic understanding of science is that vibrational frequency holds a structure together. and there is a theory and experiments out there in which a structure will instantly be altered when the frequency is altered.

Listen to what you're saying... First we are talking about evolution, now we are talking about origins. Organize your thoughts first, and then speak. What is it that you have a problem with? The evidence for evolution or origins? Maybe thats why you think the observations are absurd, bc you're conflating everything. Its not absurd, its very rational to conclude that based on observations in the genome, we unarguably share a common ancestor with the great apes and were descended from primates.

[VTVSD]

Yes but that's simple lab processes made through observation. No one argues with the science. My issue is when we make the leap from simple observation to total (and absurd) assumptions about our origins. This is the area where preconceptions skew the data.

[VTVSD]

Not at all. The premise is that things were created at the beginning. For me, I'm okay with the premise that if someone or something ordered these original types into being and then time and other various factors caused variations in the species, then evolution had nothing to do with it. I guess it all depends how people choose to define evolution at the moment. It tends to change from time to time.

[shiftas2]

ok i got you there but if evolution is about new species evolving from others and creationism is about The belief that the universe and living organisms originate from god, then how was it achieved in the first place without evolution? isn't that alone not an example of evolution if every living species in the universe originate from the same source?

[John Fulton]

When you say interpretation of data depends on the observer's preconception and motivation, you're wrong. If people have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs, that observation is just the way it is without any preconception or motivation. The discovery of 48 pairs in the great apes is also non bias.The fusion of our chromosome number 2 that remains separate in primates, again unmotivated, but rather telling that when this fusion took place an evolutionary shift did as well. Or talking snake theory works too

[VTVSD]

not really. Genetic encoding assures that we will move from sperm to human. Tadpoles are not the best example because they are simply at a specific stage of development. Same with caterpillars, and Joeys.

[VTVSD]

The "evidence" is always subjective on the evolutionary side. Interpretation of the data depends on the observer's preconception and motivation. Sure there is data that supports changes in the species but that's a far cry from total species transformation. I can easily turn the point around and claim that evolution theory seeks to rule out a Creator, and hides it's true motivation behind the guise of scientific processes and reasoning. In the end, it's God thing for me.

[shiftas2]

lol evolution must play some role in human creation other wise we would all still be sperm... clear observations are the tadpole and the caterpillar
