I need to say this as respectfully as possible. I don't believe you can prove nor disprove either evolution or creationism beyond a shadow of a doubt. Neither are fully testable, therefore, you can't call either a theory according to the description of what qualifies as a theory in this discussion.
When you make statements like this in a public forum, you are guaranteed to offend several people. May I suggest that you carefully consider your statements. Posting your opinion is fine, but be ready to prove it.
One example of proving a point:
Let's consider the clotting mechanism of the blood. What triggers it? What prevents it from triggering all the time? What tells it when to stop?
Evolution says this process had to develop over time. If that were true, no forms of warm blooded creatures could survive. Once the first cut occurred, the creature would bleed out.
Modifying this behavior, over time would not work, all creatures with blood would die. But, suppose clotting did develop, without the ability to stop the process, the entire bloodstream would clot. Again, the creature dies.
and no further progress is made on the clotting process. Lastly, the trigger mechanism shouldn't work unless needed otherwise the same result would occur, death.
One failure in any of these steps would have the same result. All three processes need to develop simultaneously and completely without failure. I just don't see evolution supporting this process.
Intelligent Design on the other hand.............
I'm not trying to flame you Joseph. I'm just expressing my opinion, and I believe there are more facts to support (I didn't say prove) my point of view than yours. This is just one. Nothing personal.
