Isn't it strange that creationist accuse science of saying that species "poofed" into existence.
Evolution says no such thing, evolution says that species gradually evolved from earlier ancestral species, on the other hand creationists like yourself require exactly this!! |
Evolution doesn't say that all...Darwinism does...evolution is only a change in the gene pool of a population over time.
But can you see why some view this 'species morphing from that one'; and 'this other one spewing out of this one'; as "poofs"? At the least there seems magic involved...there is certainly nothing in science that would foster this notion.
It all sounds like something out of Aesop's Fables to an independant observer. That's why no one buys it it but a select few of the very gullible and those pushing a religious agenda.

Jerry in your idea, species poof into existence, they don't evolve from ancestral lines! |
It's true that they don't evolve from ancestral lines, but there is no poofing involved. I know that they were designed.
Lawn Mowers are designed too by design engineers, do you think they ALSO just poof into existence? If you do, we have some discussions awaiting us...

This is what you need to prove, independently of who or what the "intelligent agent" is or how he goes about his work. Not only this, you need to prove that large populations were poofed into existence (creating one t-rex won't help, you need to create a viable genetic population spread across a specific geographic area so hundreds of adult specimens). Never mind a lowly 500bt chain of amino acids. Your theory requires whole adult populations to be poofed in! This is your claim...right? |
First, science doesn't prove anything, it foments theories which will stand until they are falsified or another, better theoiry comes along to replace it.
And I agree that I would need to show populations coming into existence all at once...but I ALREADY have that evidence. It's in the fossil record...You seem like an educated man, do I really need to walk you through the Cambrian Explosion?

Just out of curiosity according to your theory, when the t-rex's were "poofed in" were they "poffed in" as eggs which needed to hatch (were the nests also provide in the poofing?) or as adults? |
So this is the old which came first, the T-Rex or the egg conundrum?..... 
| Quote | | Lastly please describe the last poofing event in detail, where, when, how etc...? (Please note that speciation, in quite a few species, is being currently studied, so you can indicate the poofing event/s in those studies). |
This isn't clear...What "last" poofing event...you mean in Darwinism?
