Should evolution be taught in schools?

why do you avoid the issue?

why do perfectly formed eyes appear in the fossil record near the dawn of life?

Your explanation of evolution would suggest the evolution of a light patch over millions of year... the fossil record tells us this isn't the case.

Fossilisation of ANYTHING is fantastically rare.

fossil records aren't complete... snapshots they are

so you're suggesting that the animals of Ediacaran era had less evolved eyes?

are you sure that the Platynereis dumerilii has been found in the Ediacaran fossil record?

I missed out a word?

if eyes did not evolve where did they come from?

I dont know, I'm not saying they evolved or they didn't evolve... I'm merely saying that there is far to little evidence to use them as a "wicked example of evolution"

It would be a bit of a wasted trip without your opposable thumbs, you'd keep dropping the weights on your perfectly formed feet that are well made for running and such like.

andy french william brought up eyes and you went onto say "eyes were a wicked example of evolution"... I asked you to provide evidence for this claim stating that eyes appeared at around the same time as animals... To make a claim that eyes are a wicked example of evolution one would think you'd be able to supply the evidence.

Instead you provided a theory consisting entirely of guess work.....

isnt that what ure doing about the torah

i dont present the torah as fact, i present it as my faith

as if this is still going on!!!

but in reality, science isn't a faith, and don't you think todays theorists have a better understanding of how the world was created, than back in the day when they thought the world was flat?

todays theorists have no idea how the universe (not world) started and are actually stating the same thing that the jews were stating pre-flat world theory

we have no clue how the universe came into existence... its all speculation.

it's not true. there are clues. what there isn't is proof.

That's not exactly true. Haven't scientists pinpointed the beginning to within something like 0.0000000000000000000000001 seconds of it happening?

no where did you get this from?

all we know the universe is expanding, how on earth is that evidence of how it came into existence?

Thats like observing a ball rolling down the street... you can calculate all manner of things from direction to speed, what you cannot calculate is what made the ball roll in the first place.... y'get me?

Bill Bryson's 'A short History of Nearly Everything'.

actually, you can, radiation from the big bang. and frenchie is right.
