  What The Fossils Say

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  the old creation book had a lot to say about the fossil record.

  if i remember correctly it was some lie about all the fossils ever found would fit on a single table.

  the reality is that there is an embarrassment of riches illustrating the evolution of life.

  So far at least 3 evolutionists on this thread have claimed that 99 percent of species have gone extinct. One even claimed that this is the reason that they were “convinced” of evolution.

  I asked “What is the direct evidence for this claim”

  It’s very clear what I was specifically referring to.

  I stated it multiple times.

  I did NOT ask “What do evolutionists claim about mass extinctions, Permian extinctions etc. (Cofty kept posting evolutionist claims about this).

  I then specifically asked Cofty:
  

  “Why don’t you tell us the estimated number of living species and the number of extant fossil species? Then, if the number of extant fossil species is not 99 times the number of living species, please explain how the 99 % figure is obtained. Or just admit that you don’t know how it is obtained.”

  His response post NEVER gave the number of fossil species.

  Maybe because it’s embarrassing to his case (as it’s only commonly cited as 250,000).

  So let’s say for simplicity sake that there are 5 million living species.
  

  In order for there to have been a “99 percent” extinction rate, then 495 million species would have had to have gone extinct.

  Yet the number of fossil species is only 1/4 of 1 million.

  Which means that evolutionists are claiming almost 2,000 extinct species for each known fossil species!

  (Not a population of 2,000 of each species, - but 2,000 additional species per each known fossil species!).

  “99.9” percent extinction rate would be a whopping 20,000 claimed extinct species for EACH KNOWN fossil species.

  So as I said before, If the number of extant fossil species is not 99 times the number of living species please explain how the 99% figure is obtained.?

  Or just admit you don’t know how it’s obtained.

  The problem for the evolutionist claim “of 99 % of all species have gone extinct” is that the estimated number of living species vastly EXCEEDS the number of extant fossil species (by 20 times!).

  So evolutionists would have to be employing a considerable amount of assumptions.

  I asked for direct evidence For the claim that 99 % of all animal species to ever walk the earth have disappeared.

  What convinced me of evolution is that 99% of all animal species to ever walk the earth have disappeared.

  What is the direct evidence for this claim?

  'Evolution' definition can include 'origin of life'

  the popular berkeley evolution site (while responding to the misconception that evolution is just "a theory about the origin of life" does state:.

  "evolutionary theory does encompass ideas and evidence regarding life's origins (e.g., whether or not it happened near a deep-sea vent, which organic molecules came first, etc.

  ), but this is not the central focus of evolutionary theory.

Most of evolutionary biology deals with how life changed after its origin. Regardless of how life started, afterwards it branched and diversified, and most studies of evolution are focused on those processes."
  

  Note the words again:

  "Evolutionary theory does encompass ideas and evidence regarding life's origins"

  Evolution or Creation Poll

  evolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..

  Evolution is NOT atheism.

  Without Evolution what are atheists left with to “explain” biological design, and complexity?

  I have posted 40 threads of evidence for evolution, every one of them entirely in my own words based on countless hours of research and backed up by peer-reviewed papers.

  Its interesting how much your early threads parallel articles from the “talk origins” pro evolution site. You never credit talk origins in your opening thread posts.

  http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/section4.html#protein_redundancy
  

  Even some of the titles and order are similar:

  “Protein functional redundancy” talk origins

  (“Protein Finctional Redundancy”) Cofty

  ”DNA coding redundancy” talk origins

  (“DNA Functional Redundancy”) Cofty

  Your diagram for your ERV thread looks lifted from the talk origins article too.

  No credit sited.
