More recent examples would be modern domestic animals and plants- some of them are truely seperate species from their wild kin. Corn definately is- its wild form is almost unrecognizable.

Evolution (as an agent of speciation) remains unproved

Would you be willing to accept that evolution occurs if there there were some examples of observed speciation?

Evolution has been shown to be valid repeatedly. Best example? Flu season. They can’t make a single vaccine to protect you because the flu mutates and evolves in less than a year!

There is also a huge fossil record for humans tracing back our origin to 200000 years ago and our break from the rest of the family 6 million years ago.

You stunning failure to understand evolution is also evident with your next statement.
1) Evolution is not about the origin of life.
2) Abiogenisis does not claim life came from dirt.
3) Life can’t possibly come from dirt due to the fact dirt is the remains of living creatures!
4) The current theories for the origins of life are 1 primordial soup, 2 volcanic vents and 3 trapped in the ice. They haven’t been shown to be valid yet… but so far they have been tested and NOT been shown to be wanting (except the organic soup model- it has some problems)

In short, don’t talk about things you fail to understand- you show your true colors as an idiot.

Evolution (as an agent of speciation) remains unproved; Darwin’s whimsey has been stuck on the same theoretical plateau for a hundred years because it cannot be duplicated (proven) in controlled experiments.

Likewise, science has yet to demonstrate, miuch less”prove,” how dirt can morph to life … regardless of how many eons are attached.

I’m not Voltaire- I won’t defend your right to believe anything. You must prove it. Otherwise it is just nonsense.

There wouldn’t be an atheist schizm. Atheism is the simple lack of belief. It is impossilbe for there to be a split. It would be like those who don’t believe in Santa to have a split.

A3 reminds me of Ms. Quan.

I think Ms. Quan is much cuter. :^D
