The original Question was: All apes, including humans, share some Endogenous Retrovirus (ERVs) in common that do not exist in any other mammals. So if you find a dog with an ape ERV you could falsify evolution. Have they found contradicting ERVs to this yet? Or is there some reason why they likely won’t find? […]
A reader has sent in links to two evolutionist sites listing examples of speciation, and asked us which are not real examples of speciation. The list includes the Hawthorn fly, Three-spined sticklebacks, Cichlid fishes in Lake Nagubago, Tennessee cave salamanders, Greenish Warbler, Ensatina salamanders, Larus gulls, Petroica multicolour, Drosophila (fruit flies), Mayr bird fauna, Finches, […]
The original question was: In a discussion with an atheist recently, he made the following claim: As for whether there could be an intermediate between bats as we know them today, and non-flying mammals, I will direct you to the Australian sugar glider; a nice example of how flight membranes could evolve from non-gliding animals, […]
The original question was: I heard on Discovery channel that the dewclaws that some dogs have are vestigial. I did research but can’t find a clear answer to why this is not so. Can you explain this, because especially dogs sometimes have dewclaws on their hind legs which serve no purpose because they don’t hit […]
Answer by Diane Eager First, a brief overview of human hair. The sparse short hair on our bodies and limbs is often used as evidence for evolution by claiming human body hair is vestigial, i.e. a useless leftover from when we were hairy apes. However, human hair is not useless. To understand this we must […]
Answer by Stu Kennedy Introduction In 1986, is his book The Blind Watchmaker, atheist Evolutionist and Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins referred to his WEASEL computer program, which was designed to demonstrate that the mechanism of Darwinian evolution was feasible. The WEASEL program he used has been widely copied in school biology programs as confirming the […]
The original question was: If man was separately created, how come apes have the same broken gene for making vitamin C as humans do? Surely this could only come about by man evolving from chimpanzees. To claim God made the same mutant in both stretches credulity. Answer by John Mackay To argue that the same […]
The original question was: Evolution is pure science, so how can it have anything to do with politics and morality? Why don’t you stop using red herrings to impose your religion onto the science classroom? Answer by Steve Stranghoener Let’s start by asking an American question; “Have All Men Evolved Equally”? and follow it by […]
Answer by Diane Eager Adaptation is any process that modifies the structure or function of a living thing so that it can cope with changes in its environment or changes in activity. Adaptations are occurring all the time in living organisms, including ourselves. A familiar example happens whenever we take up a new sport, or […]
Answer by Diane Eager and Ed Neeland School chaplains need to know that Biblical creation and evolution are mutually exclusive explanations, so let’s make a clear separation. The evolution model does not need to invoke God (ask any atheist). The Almighty God doesn’t need to use evolution. Combining the two is a desperate and unnecessary […]
