No, evolution didn't happen.

As Sherlock Holmes states - or is attributed to have said,
"After you eliminate the impossible whatever you are left with, however
improbable, must be the answer."

I'm not stating that Creation happened (not here, or now, at least) - but
rather that evolution didn't - and couldn't have been the cause of our
existance.

Just because we exist is no proof that evolution was the cause.

But, after you realize that evolution could not have been behind our existance,
then you'll begin to examine other explainations.

Please see my new thead.

Exactly!  And evolution is that force!

  More precisely, where are you getting those figures?  It differs • markedly
from the estimations for number of inhabitable planets in the galaxy, • much
less the universe.


(It's Friday, so I have time to do this :-))

Evolution is not a force - it's:
a) a theory, involving
b) random chance

Random chance cannot product life.

Prove it (what's that?  We've said time and time again you can't prove a • negative?)



the odds are just too far much.

And just EXACTLY where are you getting these odds?  Have you calculated • them?


Indeed
today's leading edge evolution scientists have either a) ceased • discussing
the
random chance and time tenants of evolution since they don't work out; or • b)
claim that because they don't, we must have come from an alien race • (another
intelligent life form)

We didn't even have to come from an INTELLIGENT life form. • Bacteria/viruses
in
extraterrestrial matter could have evolved into us IF we didn't evolve from • base
elements here.

(...) Sherlock is a fictional character, not a scientist (and I suppose I shouldn't mention Piltdown Man and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the same breath). :-O Bruce (23 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
