Re: Neither Intelligent nor Designed


 John you are not holding science to its own standard.  All the scientists in other fields of study who accept evolution as fact are doing so.  I think you are the false impression that the discoveries in physics or chemistry are somehow different than those of evolution.  Before you start with the whole “scientific community conspiracy”, you should know that aside from discovering or proposing a new idea,  nothing can bring a researcher as much prestige as ripping and demolishing the work of someone else.

 If you study further into the nature of physics and chemistry you will find all the theories are based on what you term circumstantial evidence.   Neutrinos, gravity waves, bond theory, spin, string theory, standard model, fluid dynamic, electricity, you are not holding out judgment on electricity are you?

Not too long ago I posted a parody article from the Onion on Intelligent Falling as an alternative to the Theory of Gravity.  Using your own standards you also do not believe in the Theory of Gravity because it too is based on circumstantial evidence.   No one has ever captured a gravity particle or hanged 10 on a gravity wave.

You again are wrong about cats, dogs and others, if you go back far back enough there are no cats and dogs, if you go back further there were no mammals.  So from the fossil evidence we have enough information to conclusively say that these families evolved.  Just as we  we would say about the theory of gravity even though we have never seen gravity.   I already provided you with examples to illustrate the evolution of whales, so I won’t address that again.   The evolution of horses is also clearly illustrated, they don’t just show up on earth out of the blue.  The same for all your other examples, we have various degrees of evidence.  Most of us are reasonable enough to conclude that if the evidence points to the fact that evolution is a fact for humans, dogs, cats, horses, camels, whales, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, then it is probably true for the red winged boola boola monster, even if I’ve never seen a boola boola moster.

The fossils already prove what you claim has not been proven.  All your other questions have partial, yet compelling answers when looked in perspective of the big picture.  This is why people like Michal Shermer write that evolution is not written in a single fossil, layer of sediment, protein or  molecular clock; it is the convergence of all of these small, independently discovered pieces of evidence that lead one to one conclusion:  Evolution is real.

Like I wrote you are not using the same standards for all sciences.  If you were, then you should reject all science, and then I would at least have respect for your opinion (Please don’t confuse you with your position) because it would at least be consistent.
