DNA is passed on from a parent. It varies in its structure between the 2 parents. No youre not creating new DNA.

Alright, think about what you just said. All living cells have genetic material, aka DNA. Where did this "living cell nearby" come from then if DNA just spontaneously occured in nature? That made no sense at all.

No...I didnt deny its validity. I said earlier that amino acids had not even been synthesized in a lab, but my info mustve been outdated or something.
Check out pg 21 of "and thats it?". I didnt deny it, I just said I didnt know. But, even so. The conditions theyre generated in in a lab are still controlled carefull. Take a pretty big conincidence for that to happen in nature.

Youre confusing growth with evolution. 2 completely different things.

Cryptic, they should be everywhere! They think this takes however many odd billion years for these things to happen. And its common knowledge that "populations evolve, not individuals." There should be tons. Yet there are no lines that can be traced well enough to determine if they evolved or not. In fact, evolutionists love the whole evolution of a horse thing as it can be "easily traced" yet out in Oregon they found a 1 toed and a 3 toed horse buried in the same strata. These things shoudve been wayyyyyy far apart, yet they were found together.

And that helps your case how? It doesn't disprove anything. It just suggests that a different approach needs to be taken.

How does that help my case? The father of evolution admitted his theory was based on things they cant find. Thats how it helps my case.

Probably because when a mutation survives it's calle adaptation. Mutations are chemical imperfections, which is the opposite of evolution, so of course things are going to have a hard time evolving through mutations.

No. Mutations are random and by chance. That is not an adaptation.

Because after all animals don't migrate and would never walk there on their own.

And another response that makes absolutely no sense. What is your point? We're talking all 7 phylas in the same strata, and ancestors in the strata below that have little to no resemblance. Where did these things come from then, and why were they all inhabiting the same time period?

[QUOTE=Cryptic Excretions]
So essentially we should all be rocket scientists at birth and be complete morons without a developed bone structure in our later years. Y'know, if we start out as something complex and break down over time.

Once again, youre confusing growth with evolution. We as humans start as babies, grow, then die. We dont grow and grow and grow and grow. We hit a point then break down. Evolution is the theory that organsims are becoming more and more complex, when thats never found to be the case anywhere in nature.

To say that adaptation occurs? Adaptation isn't possible? Change your entire living environment to match that of the Amish lifestyle. Then live that way for a couple years. After a while it'll be like second nature. Why's that? Because you've changed your environment and you've adapted to it. How is it "just not possible" to say that two creatures procreate and their genetics go on to another creature who procreates with another creature thus creating a whole different mish-mash of genes and so on and so on?
