Peace all,
Please people, i need more votes on this one. GOD Bless!

Salam. peace

Well, we can also say with certainty that 300 years ago a human being did not have the same air we breathe so therefore a human 300 years ago is probably different then human from our time.

Are there any experiments that prove macroevolution is a fact? Why have I not heards of anyone of them?

Peaced "god1quran1",

Are there any experiments that prove macroevolution is a fact? Why have I not heards of anyone of them?

JK- There is microbiological evidence for macroevolution. Pseudogenes are the most significant part. Did you know humans have genes which have no function, they are just there, and those same exact genes are also present in certain apes? There are also many other vestigial organs(organs of reduced function) in the human body which served greater function in our previous ancestors. If GOD created the human being independantly, why would these pseudogenes and vestigial organs would be there? Please read this

Just because a locked box cannot be opened does not mean there is nothing inside. A list consisting of more than 100 vestigial organs existed in the 19th century because the functions of those organs had not been discovered yet.
To understand the tricks the evolutionists play, one must have some understanding of probability and statistics. Also Mutations are NOT examples of macrorevolution!

The trick is to bog the opponent down in details when one cannot even defend simple questions like

Where are the transitional forms?
Which came first, the male or the female; How did the the penis evolve from the vagina or vice versa?
How does evolution account for sexual reproduction?
We need additional information to macroevolve to a more complex species. Like building a car from a bike. Where does this additional information comes from and how can "random selection" guide it?

From the Quran, we know satan has promised Allah that he will do whatever he can to decieve the human. One has to understand how he operates. Evolution is a dogmatic belief pushed by hardcore athiests onto the gullible public. The goal is to promote a false religion based on materialist philosophy!

thanks.

Peace "god1quran1",
The Quran is in favor of evolution. Please try to understand the verses correctly. GOD says tht He created humans in stages and that we were once things NOT WORTH TO BE MENTIONED. Dont get fooled by Biblical creationists. Macro evolution is the only means to prove that GOD is One in my opinion. It is because all living things are related and come from one unit that one cannot argue that someone or some animal was created by a sperate god. Now either all science is wrong and the Bible is right OR science is right and the Quran is right. I believe in the latter. Moreover i was talking about vestigial GENES, PSEUDOGENES. Those inevitably prove evolution. Your body and that of all humans contains genes which currently serve no function, none, they are there as stamps from GOD, IMO, to show common ancestry. This is well known amongst scientists and if you dont believe me go and ask the microbiologists who are working with this day and night and all come to the same conclusions independant of each other.

Unfortunately, the first sentence contradicts the last. Don't you understand there is no concept of creation in the minds of people who push the theory of evolution down our throats? The Evolution theory that you are defending discredits ALL FORMS OF CREATION. It has got nothing to do with "Quranic evolution", even if true.

Concerning pseudogenes, I gave the example of a locked box and its comparison to the vestigial organs. It took more than 100 years to realize that the vestigial organs do have functions. How long has it been since pseudogenes have been discovered? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I asked you some simple questions. Do evolutionists have a sensible answer to these questions? The books on evolution will never delve on the "how" like how the purported transition from water to land took place. Please show me a text book that intelligenly explains this!

You need to realize that evolutionists, the majority of whom are athiests, have some strong support from the friends of satan. All of the so called "reputed" scientific magazines and journals like Nature and National Geographic are controlled by the followers of satan that try to present this theory as a proven fact.

Evolution that you are supporting is based on a materialistic philosophy that REJECTS the notion of Allah.

JK- You seemed to be confused. Evolution can be mised by atheists, yes, just like Hitler misused religion to justify his brutal acts. Please read up on "theistic evolution" to see that evolution in essence by no means argues against GOD. Infact it proves GOD's Power even more.

JK- What do you say of animals like the "platypus" then, a clear intermediate between retiles and mammals? It lays eggs and suckles its young. Why do marine mammals have more similarities with other land mammals than with sharks and why do they swim using the up and down movement instead of ns the original fish movement sideways? The whale has a reduced functional pelvis which is homologous with certain land dwelling mammalian hind legs which certainly which used them for a more useful purpose. Then there is the mole. I quote from wikis "mole" article

The eyes of moles and of some burrowing rodents are rudimentary in size, and in some cases are quite covered by skin and fur. This state of the eyes is probably due to gradual reduction from disuse, but aided perhaps by natural selection. In South America, a burrowing rodent, the tuco-tuco, or Ctenomys, is even more subterranean in its habits than the mole; and I was assured by a Spaniard, who had often caught them, that they were frequently blind. One which I kept alive was certainly in this condition, the cause, as appeared on dissection, having been inflammation of the nictitating membrane. As frequent inflammation of the eyes must be injurious to any animal, and as eyes are certainly not necessary to animals having subterranean habits, a reduction in their size, with the adhesion of the eyelids and growth of fur over them, might in such case be an advantage; and if so, natural selection would aid the effects of disuse. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, Laws of Variation)

I asked you some simple questions. Do evolutionists have a sensible answer to these questions? The books on evolution will never delve on the "how" like how the purported transition from water to land took place. Please show me a text book that intelligenly explains this!

Perhaps you need clarify how your beliefs (theistic evolution) are different from the dogma that is called the "theory of evolution. Please don't post links as I want you to tell me your OWN beliefs.

An animal that lays eggs and suckles its young is a clear intermediate between reptiles and mammals????? Are you that naive? What scientific principles were used to draw this conclusion? A whale has a reduced pelvis so this proves it is a transitional form???? Please ...... This is not science. They are all highly developed animals with complete systems.

JK- Asexual to Sexual reproduction has indeed been a problem for evolution in Darwin's time but now scienists have good theories to explain it
Sexual reproduction evolved and led to what we think of it today; that is meiosis followed by fertilization. Gametes (i.e. meiosis products) are produced in the most primitive eukaryotes living today protists.

Organisms need to replicate their genetic material in an efficient and reliable manner. The necessity to repair genetic damage is one of the leading theories explaining the origin of sexual reproduction. Diploid individuals can repair a mutated section of its DNA via genetic recombination, since there are two copies of the gene in the cell and one copy is presumed to be undamaged. A mutation in an haploid individual, on the other hand, is more likely to become resident, as the DNA repair machinery has no way of knowing what the original undamaged sequence was. The most primative form of sex may have been one organism with damaged DNA replicating an undamaged strand from a similar organism in order to repair itself.

Another theory is that sexual reproduction originated from selfish parasitic genetic elements that exchange genetic material (that is copies of their own genome) for their transmission and propagation. In some organisms, sexual reproduction has been shown to enhance the spread of parasitic genetic elements (e.g. yeast, filamentous fungi). Bacterial conjugation, a form of genetic exchange that some sources describe as sex, is not a form of reproduction. However, it does support the selfish genetic element theory, as it is propagated through such a "selfish gene", the F-plasmid.

A third theory is that sex evolved as a form of cannibalism. One primative organism ate another one, but rather than completely digesting it, some of the 'eaten' organism's DNA was incorporated into the 'eater' organism.

My own theory regarding this issue is that GOD has put in nature a pairing process. This can be seen from the very start like atoms having proton and electron, then we have an anti particle for every particle. Hence whilst these evolved to the gene level, at some time in the macro output a split occured and it became a genetic pair also.

I am not sure how this answers my concerns in the earlier post. You cannot give me an example of a mosaic form with fully developed systems and then say that it is evidence of evolution. When I asked you to think through what you mean by macroevolution, I meant in terms of individual physiological systems. For example if mutation and natural selection are responsible for something as complex as the eye, how did evolution know which direction to go. Do you know the probability of taking the correct direction everytime keeping in view the number of subsystems an eye has ?
Without outside intervention how can there be gradual evolution that we end up extremely complex systems, like the nose, ear, the brain, etc, etc,??? To get to somewhere you need to know where you are going! Does evolution explain this. I think NOT.

Even if we are to believe in this absurd notion of " pattern of reduction and adaption where one exact same organ while used more efficiently in a previous ancestor is used less in the current one", the evolutionists need to explain how that organ developed in the first place!

Yes evolutionists have all sorts of "Theories" with "may have", "could have" to explain their dogma. I can come up with any theory! Does'nt prove squat.

How about these truths.

Free-Minds And He is the One who created the pair, male and female. 5345

Free-Minds And We created you in pairs? 788

Free-Minds He created you from one person, then He made from it its mate. And He sent down to you eight pairs of the livestock. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, a creation after a creation in three darkness's. Such is God your Lord. To Him belongs the sovereignty. There is no god besides Him. How is it then you deviate? 396

There are many more .....

JK- Newer organs develop from previous existing material. You are ehaps referring to Behes irreducible complexity which is nonesnese. The human eye for example had parts which had some other purpose in the past and later became the eye. As to evoiution having no direction that is only seemingly so while scientists do agree that the whole universe is deterministic, though unpredictable, so yes ultimately it is determined that the human be here. Secondly what dio you mean by outside intervention? If you mean that GOD fixed the laws of the universe from the beginning and set the constant which allowed for all life to evolve then thats fine. If your saying that GOD intervened every now and then, changing His laws to create a new life form then that is nonsense and it degrades GOD in that He wouldnt know how to make things come into being by setting up a system at the beginning. Evolution is a much greater proof of GOD's awesome power. Dont confuse it with atheism.

Even if we are to believe in this absurd notion of " pattern of reduction and adaption where one exact same organ while used more efficiently in a previous ancestor is used less in the current one", the evolutionists need to explain how that organ developed in the first place!

JK- It developed because the environment asked for it according to the laws setup by GOD. There are mutations taking place in the DNA, termed as random because their variations are not yet completely understood, and those together with natural slection, whcih is also setup by GOD, allow these organs to evolve at their particular times. I dont see any problems here.

JK- The "may have could have" is only for those things which scientists are not yet sure about. However there are solid examples which prove evolution is true as ive mentioned and thje reduction and deduction is not part of speculation. It has been shown in whales, dolphins, moles, humans, ostrcihes, etc. In humans for example there are the wisdom teeth which are no longer needed as we got out of the wild and the appendix which although has now become part of the immune system is overall reduced in function as compared to herbivorous mammals. Maybe one day it will disappear entirely.

Can I ask you what scientific method did you use to come up with these conclusions? "this from that is not science"!

By the way you need to see the image and ask the priests of evolution if they have evidence of the monkey evolving into a human or is it just a figment of their imagination!

Unfortunately the evolutionist have theories that are backed by the controlled media that perpetuate their lies. The fraud initiated by Haeckel continues to this day!

What creationists have is a bit of common sense.

Ever seen a birth of a baby?
How does evolution explain the soul?
How does a seed sowed into the ground comes out as a plant the leaves of which then undergo the process of photosynthesis?

I can go on and on ....
Evolution that hides behind the mantra "incremental and gradual changes taking billions of years" cannot explain these dynamic events. The only other alternative is there exists an intelligent creator at work who has created everything in one go.

See, you yourself doesn't understand evolution. Evolution is not a purely random process. Mutation is random (in terms of fitness) but Natural Selection is not, it is a process that weeds out harmful/disadvantageous variations and preserves beneficial/advantageous variations.

"Apes possess an appendix but the lower apes do not. It then appears again in mammals such as the Oppussum. How can the evolutionists account for this?"
from
Biologist H. ENoch in Creation and Evolution 1966

Old source from 40 years ago? Do you actually know what Enoch mean by saying 'apes' and 'lower apes'? Btw the appendix is widespread in a lot of mammals. Cut open a guinea pig and you'll find a large, functional appendix that serves as a fermentation vat.

And why do you want the appendix to "disappear" when it is proven to be not a vestigial organ??? Again the use of "maybe" to promote a dogmatic belief!

Tell me, if it's not vestigial, why people that had their appendix removed stays healthy. The appendix does have some immunological functions but as far as I know it's not a very vital organ, most likely its functions are a remnant of something with more use in the past (for example, a fermentation vat like in guinea pigs).

I could not find anything except verses that clear use the word "Khalaq" (created) repeatedly!

And your understanding of khalaq is how? God magically poofing species into existence one by one? In the Qur'an Khalaq refers to natural processes.

By the way you need to see the image and ask the priests of evolution if they have evidence of the monkey evolving into a human or is it just a figment of their imagination!

Will you consider your position yourself? There are fossils that show the intermediate forms between man and ancient apes. That's evidence. Or you have something in your mind that tells you you mustn't look at evidence?

Unfortunately the evolutionist have theories that are backed by the controlled media that perpetuate their lies. The fraud initiated by Haeckel continues to this day!

No, in fact Haeckel's embryos has been replaced by photographs of comparative embryology, which basically shows the same thing (minus exaggerations).

What creationists have is a bit of common sense.

Not common sense, but an unwillingness to see and consider the evidence.

Ever seen a birth of a baby?

Um, yes, in a film... But what does this has to do with evolution?

How does evolution explain the soul?

It doesn't. Evolution doesn't need to explain the soul because it's not evolution material. It's philosophical and theological material.

How does a seed sowed into the ground comes out as a plant the leaves of which then undergo the process of photosynthesis?

Get a course in Plant Physiology--it will tell you how a seed grow.

Peace "god1quran1",
I think bro "Andya" did a marvellous job answering many of your assertions. Id also like to answer some. First regarding the vestigial organs. Vestigial doesnt mean "completely useless" and that is the faulty assumption many creationists have in mind. I think i explained this before. Vestigial means "reduced function". Ofcourse it may be possible for the appendix to becomes smaller in some mammals and popup bigger oin others again but thus would merely indicate a reactivation of certian pseudogenes which i also talked about in another article. Now you asked

Ever seen a birth of a baby?

JK- Yes it is a marvellous process indeed. Neither bro Andya or myself nor any other theistic evolutionist, infact not even an atheistic evolutionist would doubt that. The only difference is how did it get to this stage, by GOD tweeking the system and creating it piece by piece or thorugh a, in my opinion, marvellous process of evolution over the ages controlled by natural selection acting upon "random" mutations and i explained to you clearly that random here simpyl means that one doesnt know why the variations move in such and such a way. I believe ofcourse there is a law why they do so and the apparent chaos/chaotic variations in DNA is merely an illusion. Same goes for quantum mechnics. We just dont understand it yet. Once this law is found evolution will become more marvellous than ever before.

How does evolution explain the soul?

JK- Taking evolution in general, hence out of biology, the soul too could have evolved in another dimension/universe. My current theory or rather hypotheis is that the human brain evolved so that it can now connect to the dimnension which contains the souls through wormholes but this is at the time only a hypothesis.

How does a seed sowed into the ground comes out as a plant the leaves of which then undergo the process of photosynthesis

JK- Same as above. The system evolved by mutations and natural selection all controlled by GOD and then you get the marveloous plant and its seeds which allow it to reproduce till this day. GOD Bless!

god1quran1

See, you yourself doesn't understand evolution.

I was responding to JK's assertion when he claimed that evolution is somehow a deterministic process. By all means jump into the debate but atleast you must have the courtesy to read the earlier posts!

Is Evolution deterministic?

Evolution is not a purely random process.

I said mutation is a random process. Why are you saying things I never said!
And whether it is "pure" or "impure" does not change the fact that it is a random. That means we are talking probabilities now where there is a possibility of failure
So for example prob of success is a generous 0.99 and in a billion years of "incremental and gradual change" evolution goes though 10000 ( a very small number) steps the probability of success is

P = 0.99^10000 = 2.2488^-44

Is the absurdity of evolution theory becoming evident to you or have you made up your mind?
Note The prob of success initially would be very low initially considering that the theory of evolution makes the claim that we started from a single cell, an absurd claim in itself, for it is now clear that the complex molecules have to coexist simultaneously in order for life to exist at all!

Mutation is random (in terms of fitness) but Natural Selection is not, it is a process that weeds out harmful/disadvantageous variations and preserves beneficial/advantageous variations.

The question is what guides natural selection? Does it have a consciousness of its own? How does evolution know that a eye or a ear or a heart needs to be "evolved into". How do you even begin to go somewhere when you do not know where to go. These are extremely simple questions yet impossible for the evolutionists to answer. They will always avoid the "how".

"Apes possess an appendix but the lower apes do not. It then appears again in mammals such as the Oppussum. How can the evolutionists account for this?"

Old source from 40 years ago? Do you actually know what Enoch mean by saying 'apes' and 'lower apes'? Btw the appendix is widespread in a lot of mammals. Cut open a guinea pig and you'll find a large, functional appendix that serves as a fermentation vat.

Tell me, if it's not vestigial, why people that had their appendix removed stays healthy. The appendix does have some immunological functions but as far as I know it's not a very vital organ, most likely its functions are a remnant of something with more use in the past (for example, a fermentation vat like in guinea pigs).

Before speculating on the usefulness of a particular organ (which evolutionists have a habit of doing) tell me how an appendix is a vestigial organ when according to your own admission it serves "some immunological functions".

I know. When the list of "vestigial organs" has been reduced from more than 100 to zero over the last 150 years, the evolutionists found it easier to simply change the definition of vestigial organs so from

"An organ that is functionless and generally reduced in size but bears some resemblance to the corresponding fully functioning organs found in related organisms"

they revised it to something like

"Any part of an organism that has diminished in size during its evolution because the function it served decreased in importance or became totally unnecessary. Examples are the human appendix and the wings of the ostrich"

And the guinea pig is NOT our immediate ancestor (according to the theory of evolution). The evolutionists use lots of speculation and fables when explaining macroevolution of organs from the bone fossils remain of our "alleged ancestors."

And your understanding of khalaq is how? God magically poofing species into existence one by one? In the Qur'an Khalaq refers to natural processes.

Khalaq means to create. The theory of evolution rejects creationism. Life is too complex to have been evolved by undergoing "natural processes" and this complexity exists at every level of design. From the sytems level to the molecular level. The timescales at which our physiological systems operate cannot be explained by the evolution nonsense of "incremental, gradual changes taking billions of years."

Will you consider your position yourself? There are fossils that show the intermediate forms between man and ancient apes. That's evidence. Or you have something in your mind that tells you you mustn't look at evidence?

Are you talking about the forgeries, like the Nebraska man, or the piltdown man. The very old history of modern man nullifies the imaginary family tree of evolution theory. The fossils presented as transitional links are either that of humans or apes. The manner in which evolutionists depict drawings of neanderthals from bone fossil remains as half human-half ape is truly amazing! I never knew we could predict the amount of body hair from a few bones.

No, in fact Haeckel's embryos has been replaced by photographs of comparative embryology, which basically shows the same thing (minus exaggerations).

Does it? If they show the "same things", why was there a need to exaggerate in the first place?
I think you are deceiving yourself by being an evolution apologist.

Not common sense, but an unwillingness to see and consider the evidence.

Um, yes, in a film... But what does this has to do with evolution?

Yes I know evolutionists have a propensity to avoid simple questions concerning extremely complex occurrences in nature.

It doesn't. Evolution doesn't need to explain the soul because it's not evolution material. It's philosophical and theological material.

Again avoiding simple question that are impossible to answer using the theory of evolution. Let me rephrase. At what point in the imaginary world of evolution did the animal made a conscious decision?

Get a course in Plant Physiology--it will tell you how a seed grow.

Will it tell me how did natural selection inform the first plant coming out of the soil that its leaves will be the primary site of photosynthesis?

peace.

A response picked right out the evolution textbook! Now can we get to the "how" part please.

peace.

Peace "god1quran1",

Is Evolution deterministic?

JK- Since the whole universe and its particles are so is evolution in the broad sense. But it is impossible for any human to accurately measure where evolution is gonna go. That is why we say that its relatively indeterminable. GOD Bless!

I am not sure why you continue to mix biological evolution, whose followers follow little to no scientific procedures to validate their theories, with such sciences as cosmology where scientists rountinely use or have used mathematical equations to validate their theories.

JK- This is EXACTLY the same case with biological evolution. Plz bro, talk to and discuss with some reknown microbiologists or other scientists who have studied the subject before making such statements. GOD Bless!
