Who agrees that evolution is just a theory?

We did not come from monkeys. My degree was science/chemistry. Some scientist believe this junk theology…but many do not! It’s a theory….in other words…an idea which has never been proven or disproven…therefore it remains a theory.

Now a few examples of why I do not believe this theory:

Any animal that has evolved does not remain….yet the monkey is still with us…the average day monkey has not evolved into a man!

I believe many animals have adapted to their environment and thus their features change to meet their surrounding needs…thus adaptation! However, to evolve into something totally more advance such as monkey into man would mean that the monkey would no longer exist because man would take his place…why does the monkey still exist????

The same can be said for apes and all other animals someone could possibly say man evolved from! Why do they all still exist today?
Charles Darwin was a very smart man. His adaptation theory is quite genius and his studies were revolutionary and also opened the eyes of the scientific community…however his evolution theory lacks common sense from such a pioneer!

Even if you disagree with the above…how do you explain how any life began on earth? Life cannot just spring up…and Mathematically, it is inconceivable that anything as complex as a protein, let alone a living cell or a human, could spring up by chance.

Consider the following:

Nobody has ever seen a new species evolve.

Evolutionists cannot point to any transitional fossils–creatures that are half reptile and half bird, for instance. Where are all the transitional species. Really there should be a continuous line of transitional species, in the order of 1000’s of times more numerous than obviously distinct species, and yet we have a clumps of very distinct species. And no transitional forms….

Recent discoveries prove that even
Recent discoveries prove that even at the microscopic level, life has a quality of complexity that could not have come about through evolution.

Evolution is only a theory. It is not a fact or a scientific law.

1st law of thermodynamics states the energy(in this case life) cannot be created or destroyed! In other words life cannot just form…some form of energy must have been present! This is not a theory, it’s a law.

Law of biogenesis. People once believed that maggots were spontaneously generated from the flesh of dead animals. They thought life could come from non-life. Louis Pasteur proved beyond doubt that life cannot arise from non-life. This is not a scientific theory, but a law. Proponents of evolution contend that life did arise spontaneously from non-life at least once in the past, in other words, that this particular natural law was broken or nonexistent sometime in the past. Again this cannot happen as energy cannot be created or destroyed!!!
Evolution teaches that fish evolved from lower animals. How did they get fins? No evolutionist claims that fins came in one generation, but rather in many generations. In other words, the development of fins was a GRADUAL development. And from where did birds get their wings? No evolutionist claims that wings came in one generation, but rather in many generations. They claim that the development of wings was through a very slow, gradual process. Now when the process, let us say, was half way complete, the “fin” or the “wing,” as the case may be, would be useless — good for nothing — for a fish cannot swim with a part-fin nor can a bird fly with a part-wing! A part-fin or a part-wing, would be a monstrosity, not a perfect adaptation such as we see everywhere in nature. NOWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY CAN ONE FIND PARTLY DEVELOPED APPENDAGES OR ORGANS, but, rather, everywhere there is perfect adaptation, perfect development for its intended purpose.
NOWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY CAN ONE FIND PARTLY DEVELOPED APPENDAGES OR ORGANS, but, rather, everywhere there is perfect adaptation, perfect development for its intended purpose. That fact proves that EACH CREATURE, IN ALL ESSENTIAL FEATURES, HAS BEEN EXACTLY AS IT IS NOW, and was so created in the beginning.
Hugo de Vries aptly said, “Natural selection may explain the survival of the fittest, but it cannot explain the arrival of the fittest.”
Science has proven that chaos does not naturally and normally turn into order. Life can only come from life (law of biogenesis). Things dont improve naturally as a matter of course (entropy). Things improve because of intelligent input. For example, the technology we enjoy in the present age is a result of human intelligence, not random chance. Science has given us a great deal, but not everything that exists can be explained scientifically.
Prof. T. H. Morgan said, “Within the period of human history we do not know of a single instance of the transformation of one species into another.” (p. 43. “Evolution and Adaptation;” McMillan, 1903).
Another thought: If there is not supreme being that created heaven and earth and all creatures, then explain how the Earth and world is so organized and designed for life? How did our planet adapt to us???? If the oxygen mixture were more than it is we would die…proof of this is hospitals in earlier years were giving a little too much to preemie babies….they died! In the rest of the universe both WATER and OXYGEN are very scarce; in fact, hydrogen and helium make up 99% of all matter in the universe, yet our earth is designed for life…unexplained or superior design????
I realize what a theory is…this is all to start a debate!
And yes I do have a degree in Science/Chimistry…and I realize there would be those who go nuts of the mention that evolution is nonsense…thus my debate!!!
There are scores of other “laws” in the universe that are perfect and necessary to make up this vast universe. All students of astronomy are familiar with Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion. There are “laws” of motion, laws of heat, laws of light, laws of sound — and all are PERFECT, never-changing, never-failing. Rear Admiral D. V. Gallery (USN; writing in the Saturday Evening Post), said, “The stars. . . .in their orbits and velocities through the heavens faithfully obey a great code of LAW. Earth’s scientists can quote and explain this code in great detail, until you ask, “Where came these laws?”
Edwin B. Frost, at one time astronomer with the Yerkes Observatory, wrote: “Everything that we learn from the observational point of view in the study of astronomy seems to me to point precisely and always toward a purposeful operation in nature. . . . “I cannot imagine planets getting together and deciding under what law they should operate. NOR DO WE FIND ANYWHERE IN THE SOLAR OR STELLAR SYSTEM THE DEBRIS THAT WOULD NECESSARILY ACCUMULATE IF THE UNIVERSE HAD BEEN OPERATING AT RANDOM. . .
Proof that the Universe had a Beginning “to assume that the universe had no beginning . . . fails to account for the CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF RADIOACTIVITY.” (Scientific American).
Animals breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide; green plants (in sunlight) take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. Without plants in the world the time would soon come when all animals and all men would use up the available oxygen in the air and would perish.” * Who designed such a complex system??? * “Give the plants a free hand and the water would in time become so alkaline as to destroy them. Give the animals a free hand and they, in the end, would be killed by the acidity they themselves produced; but the two working against one another insure the maintenance of conditions vital to both. All life is like that: a thousand interacting and balanced forces, like the flying buttresses of a towering Gothic Cathedral; destroy one and the whole graceful fabric comes down in irreparable ruin.” (Creation’s Amazing Architect).
Flowers supply bees with nectar; bees in turn transfer pollen from one flower to another, thus preserving the life of the species. HMMMM??? These species formed a treaty all on their own?????? Is this their own plan or of a superior design?

IF THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WERE INCREASED, THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT WOULD SOON BE RUINED BY MOLDS! Who keeps these in check???? By chance they sustain??? Not probable!!!
The earth is just THE RIGHT DISTANCE from the sun, relative to the amount of heat and light the sun pours into space. If the earth were much closer, it would be too hot; If it were much farther away, it would be too cold. Dr. William J. Humphreys, formerly with the United States weather bureau told the American Meteorological Society that if the average temperature of the earth were raised but two or three degrees “you could bid goodbye to all the big cities of the earth,”
Blind evolution is helpless to produce such endless intricacies of design and adaptation. Why - how -could chance evolution, by “random changes,” produce an intricate, living, workable mechanism like the examples described above?

Our world was designed for us to live in…everything designed for a reason. The food chain for example is a complex design of energy passed on…who designed such a plan???
I Got my Degree from The University of KY if you must know!

I knew I’d get a stir from everyone on this topic. People get so cruel when it comes to such a subject as evolution! I don’t mind people bashing me! I only put this together to start a debate…and that’s what I accomplished!

If you throw in a few off beat phrases or words it’s nice to see who catches the bait. I’m giving the 10 points to the one who catches the biggest wrong in this thread!! Let’s see who is really a science expert?

What are the differenced between felt fabrics?

sharonlb27 asked:


What is the difference between synthetic felts (I know about WOOL felt)? It seems the stuff that you buy from the craft store pills up so easily and is not as tightly woven as some I’ve seen on finished felt products I’ve seen in the stores. I’ve looked on craft blogs and can see in close-up pictures that their felt looks smoother than craft-store felt. Any input would be great!

Sewing Enthusiast asked:


I am a sewing enthusiast. I have fabrics in all sorts: silks, wools, cottons, leather, jersey, etc. I now have it in boxes. When I need to find any particular one, I go through dozens of boxes and it is driving me crazy. It is especially exhausting when some boxes are in my apartment and some are in the garage. As space is at a premium, I don’t have the luxury of sorting and placing one major type of fabrics in one box. Thanks.

I have found that some of my sheets get those little bumps on them called piling and some don’t. Is it the fabric quality? Is it the way the fabric is washed?

Thanks

tajboyd asked:


I am in the process of making a quilt and I didn’t pre-wash the fabric’s before cutting, so I was wanting to know the safest way to wash them once I have completed the quilt. The fabric’s and thread are all 100% cotton and the colors are creams, browns and reds. I know it would have been better to pre-wash first so please don’t tell me that… but I started cutting the fabric’s in a hurry.

angeldevoid71 asked:


I have a latch hook pattern that is on paper, but small size. I need to draw it out onto the latch hook fabric. It contains lots of detail, so I cannot do it free hand. Is there an easy way of enlarging it to actual size (copy machine, etc) to trace it onto the fabric? What would be the process on how to do it with a copy machine?
