User:PhilipN/Essay:Questions to evolutionists

Question 1: How can a major mutation happen while transitional states are not viable ?

While eyes or wings are undoubtedly advantages, those evolutions did not happen in 1 generation. And, as it is often quoted, Evolution is blind. How 10% of an eye or 10% of a could have been be useful ?

The transitional states ARE viable, and the eye is a very good example of that. The first "eye" was just a primitive patch of photosensitive cells on a creature's head that could tell light from dark. This became more complex, becoming a concave eye cup capable of telling the direction of light. Eventually, a clear covering for the eye cup developed to protect it. That clear coating played the role of a lens soon enough, and the eye became capable for the first time of resolving images.

The question should not be "What would you do with 10% of an eye?" Instead, ask "What would you do with an eye 10% as good as the one you've got! RachelW 08:37, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Question 2: How can speciation happen without geographic separation ?

Geographic separation is the best way to get two groups of the same species to evolve differently from one another. However, any phenomenon which causes two groups to stop interbreeding can cause speciation.

Question 3: Who was the first Homo Sapiens ?

Was his father a homo sapiens as well ?

There was no "first" Homo sapiens. Evolution does not work like that. Evolution works through gradual changes within a population over generations. The "boundary" of speciation is not a defined threshold. Rather, speciation occurs gradually as allele frequency and genomic structure changes subtly, within a population, from one generation to the next. --JHunter 00:01, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Question 4: How would an evolutionist define a specie ?

Is it even possible to do so ?

Question 5: How is Evolution more scientific than Creation ?

How isn't it a question of faith ?

Question 6: Is evolution a science ?

As defined by wikipedia, Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Is is testable ? Can we do predictions over millions of years ? And finally, could the falsehood of the theory be proven ?

Question 7: Some great advantages are not very often seen

Why is that we do not see many big-brain species, it seems to be a pretty good strategy.

Question 11: How would you explain self-destructive behavior ?

Smokers, drug addicts, alcohol drinkers should not survive and should not attract the opposite sex.

Question related to Evolution but not challenging the theory

Question A: According to Evolution, degrading biodiversity does not matter

According to evolutionists, there has already been many great extinction followed by explosion of diversity. If so, It does not really matter if we degrade biodiversity, it will be fixed by itself.

Question B: According to Evolution, a human is not more important than a cockroach

So why should we kill cockroaches and not humans ?

Question C: Is Evolution compatible with the Soul ?

If yes, how did it begin ? Did homo habilis have a soul ?
