Hi Linda, thanks.
Ok, about Flew? I can too say that the evolutionists would want us all to believe that he was incompetent and mentally deficient, so it was "forced" upon him. I don't buy into this either Linda. If you read the other link I gave, that has been spoken about already.
I believe in a creator being yes. I call this creator "God" and believe in the person of Jesus Christ. I certainly do NOT expect people do believe what I do. However, the bible is very clear too and Christ said "If they believe not Moses, how will they believe that one rose from the dead". The first part of the bible is actually crucial to the second. And this is referred to in the new testament a number of times, they all tie in. Christ did not die on the cross for evolved ape like creatures. He died because sin entered the world. This is the entire point of being a Christian and where original sin came from (first two parents). If you deny the first part of the bible, you automatically discredit the second. They both complement eachother. We also await the time where the earth will be renewed, similar to how it was in the beginning. This is one of the promises in the bible. God did not create a fallen world with death and suffering, we did through sin.
So that is the point I was making. I know full well there are many people out there that are Christians and believe in evolution. I admire their faith! But I do not admire their lack of trust in God's word in the first book of the bible. But that is their choice. Nowhere in the world around me do I observe any signs of evolution or feel any sway from the truths in the bible.
In fact Linda, evolutionists already fit the world into their pre-conceived idea. So your comments that fundamentalists do this, is once again turned back on the evolutionist who even though has not found a missing link, continues to say "it must be out there". He cannot and will not consider the idea of "perhaps it's not been found because they might not exist?". They have attempted to fit anything they can into their pre-conceived world view and this includes their dating methods (radio-metric dating etc), which are FAR from infallible. Snails etc - shells been dated at thousands of years old! Seals likewise and other creatures who have been grossly exaggerated showing serious faults with carbon dating. Radiometric dating is even worse for 3 reasons. Nobody knows what conditions were like at the beginning or during ageing and whether there were additional or subtracting factors which could also could seriously affect ageing. The greatest accelerent to carbon and radio metric dating is water! Stalactite and stalagmite formations have been shown to occur rapidly within decades in caves and elsewhere and not over thousands or milions of years! These are just some examples of commonly erroneous dating.
Dr Gary Parker an ex evolutionist said that as a student his professor admitted during lectures on dating that ALL dating methods had serious drawbacks which were frequently covered up. He said, if the creationists knew about this, they would have a field day. But, urged his evolutionist students to "Keep the faith". Thereby admitting that evolution had no scientific basis, but was in reality a belief.
Linda, what evidence does Loch Ness and Bigfoot have that a pterosaur doesn't have? Let me know....sightings? pictures? um....we do know they did exist right? So how is it totally impossible that there are NONE alive today? There are vast areas of our planet uninhabited by man, completely unexplored. There have indeed been sightings in these tropic/humid areas by people, but do we take notice? Or is it that the idea of any fossilised creatures being alive at all today just sounds "too weird" therefore it cannot be so? It's only weird because it's not commonly seen. I haven't seen one, I don't know it exists, but there are compelling sightings by seemingly sane people to make one think "it might be possible, we have the fossils, we know they "did" exist, could any still be alive today?".
Many animals have become extinct, but we have evidence they existed. Some are very rare and becoming extinct, and many more are continually be discovered. It's neverending.
However, in none of these discoveries has there been found yet a transitional form with one kind becoming another. Nothing. Every ancient fossil is in keeping with exactly what we see today. Granted, they've given it a good go with the false horse evolution theory, and ape to man theory, but they've yet to come up with any fossil proof and as of now? THe missing link, remains "missing".
