Quote:I will deal specifically with #2, “back-to-front retinas”. This is so wrong I shake my head in disbelief at the stupidity of the argument. The saying ‘eagle eyes’ refers to someone with keen eyesight. Eagles have the same ‘bad’ eye design as we do! That alone should give cause to question this nonsense from the ‘professor’.
Quote:However, the claim is a denial of the fact that the human body works magnificently well, incredibly better than any machine that humans have invented. Those who claim bad-design do not appreciate what they have. Consider our ability to walk, run, bend, swim, lift, see, hear, reproduce, heal, speak, touch, think, create, invent, and build, to name a few. Sometimes it is only when we lose these abilities through sickness or injury that we appreciate what we had.
The claim of bad design also comes from inexperience of what is involved in designing and making something. Design always involves trade-offs to achieve the design objective. Some of the claims of bad design turn out, upon thoughtful investigation, to be incredibly brilliant design

Evolutionary theory IS legit. WE evolved from apes.

Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years

It even has the name LUCA, for Last Universal Common Ancestor. But even evolutionists say that LUCA was anything but simple. Research from 2024 argues that LUCA had 2.5 million DNA ‘letters’ coding for 2,600 proteins.[color=oklch(0.21 0.034 264.665)]2[/color][/font][/color]

Some of our Creation Talk videos explain CRISPR as the basis for “one of gene technology’s sharpest tools”—to quote the Nobel Prize website about the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

However, deep time ‘dating’ puts them at 215 million years ago, over 60 million years older than the oldest bird fossil (Archaeopteryx, 150 Ma).[color=oklch(0.21 0.034 264.665)]1[/color][/font][/color]

Quote:[font=Inter, 'Inter Fallback: Arial', 'Inter fallback', ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji']If chimps are our distant cousins, could they not be raised together as if they were siblings? Read about a disturbing experiment, inspired by evolution.
Gua wore baby clothes, slept in a bed, and sat in a highchair during meals. She was able to master using a spoon and drinking from a glass.
However, the Kelloggs also forced Donald and Gua to undergo a series of comparison tests which they documented on film. The footage is disturbing. In one case, Donald’s mother called him to herself, only to block his access to her at the last moment. In another instance, Donald was spun around in a seat until in tears. Another involved firing a revolver within close proximity, causing distress in Gua; no report about any hearing damage for Donald. The couple even reported that they hit the two youngsters on the head with spoons to listen for differences in their skulls.
Instead of Gua becoming more human, Donald started to exhibit animal behaviour. [/font]

It is well known that the major way in which evolutionists have grouped living creatures has been according to their anatomical similarities. This, in turn, feeds into arguments about homology. Evolutionary scientists usually start with the assumption that ‘homology is similarity due to common ancestry’. That’s their definition, but it is problematic when they then point to anatomical similarities and argue that these are evidence for common ancestry. Such arguments for homology are blatantly circular (thus are explanation-free) because they are attempts to prove what had already been assumed!3

For example, according to research published in 2004, a morphological family tree of mammals has the Xenarthra (creatures like sloths, anteaters, and armadillos) as a very ‘early’ branch of the placental mammals. However, a molecular family tree of the same creatures positions the Xenarthra as having evolved ‘much later’, after a group called the ‘Afrotheria’—which includes elephants, tenrecs, golden moles, elephant shrews, hyraxes, aardvarks, and sea cows.4[/font][/color]

As well as analyzing the evolutionary trees of 48 groups of animals and plants (comparing morphological family trees with molecular trees), Matthew Wills and colleagues also cross-referenced the data to each creature’s geographical location.2 Nobody had done this before. To their great surprise, “animals grouped together by molecular trees lived more closely together geographically than the animals grouped using the morphological trees[/font][/color]

do you really think anyone reads this?
do you think even if they read it they find it significant?

yes, it was all just chance
