Hi Pwcca, welcome back.
The genetics in offspring, as you know, is inherited from a gene pool of information from both parents/families/ancestors. Information that already exists. This is observable, it's common sense.....
I would like to know how any process of evolution is involved? Since this is caused by the inheritance of already available information down through the parents....and only reproduction can produce anything! whatever traits there are, are inherited.
This is not in conflict with creation, but is exactly what creation has taught. It's not time that has produced this
as such, or a process over time, but the event of reproduction (which takes time, but time itself produces nothing). Reproducing after ones own kind, just as the bible has preached all along - with a gene pool of information within that person's family. It is no wonder that children have such interesting similarities and differences. So far the outcome for every creature is the same. They reproduce after their own kind and continue to produce exactly that.
If you can explain this by any other process? I'd like to hear it. Since this is basic biology, basic common sense and an observable fact.
For me, what I have seen is - If evolution can get one to agree/admit to any changes in populations/living systems, which is an observable fact, they can then state things like -
"Ahh, so you agree then that evolution is happening?". But if you look at this more clearly - we are talking here about people who believe in a process of evolution responsible for our world, ourselves and the outcome. What creationists are talking about is the inheritance of information passed down through our ancestors - human beings.
Starting with human beings and continuing with human beings. And the same with every other creature.
If evolutionists can put across basic biological fact, whilst side-stepping the molecules-to-man idea (at first), then hopefully they'll have a person considering they've been mistaken and
"perhaps evolution really is true afterall". Just part of the same process right? WRONG!
Since it is denied that evolution is an atheistic belief system, then would you please let me know of ONE textbook that attributes any such beginnings to the possibility of a creator of any kind? Let's be fair here. We didn't observe the beginnings either way and a theory of a designer is certainly no worse or more unbelieveable than the theories to explain the wonders of the universe and mathmatical precision and perfection. Since other theories of our beginnings are suggested without evidence/observance, why then is God not mentioned in textbooks also as a possible theory/explanation? Or is it too religious an idea to ever suggest such a possibility?
Let me know if I'm mistaken and you can point me to one that does. I will apologise if that is the case. I am not saying that evolution prevents people taking onboard a religious belief of any kind - but I am talking about the belief system of evolution itself as a theory.
It is interesting to note that one of the most well known atheistic evolutionists's, has indeed climbed right down of the idea of there being no designer. But here is what he said once: Taken from:
AN ATTEMPTED ATHEISTIC SNOW JOB ON BELIEVERS The fable of the Gardener by atheist philosopher Anthony Flew. Two people had a disagreement as to whether a gardener had been tilling a given plot of land. When it became obvious that there was no evidence of the garden being cultivated in any way, the proponent suggested that perhaps it was a gardener doing the work incognito. The antagonist then correctly pointed out that an "incognito gardener" is, for all essential purposes, identical to a nonexistent gardener.
So it is with an "incognito creator" ostensibly hiding behind a purposeless evolutionary process. Again, stress the fact that NO form of evolutionary theory finds ANY need for ANY kind of external being involved in the process, not even an "incognito creator". So, for those who imagine that God could be an "incognito creator" within the evolutionary process, point out that AN "INCOGNITO CREATOR" IS ESSENTIALLY NO DIFFERENT FROM A NONEXISTENT CREATOR. As a result, this brings the truth back to the surface: the inescapably and inherently atheistic nature of evolution--something which again the evolutionists are trying to cover up with their chicanery.
