DNA does not improve or progess over time, it does the opposite. Hence, there can be no evolutionary change that could produce any new information that could produce a whale intermediary from a hippo.

You really have no clue do you. Are you actually saying that DNA gets worse over time? Then we should all be sludge by now.

What about answering my questions?

I don't even give a crap if he doesn't believe in evolution... as long as he stops trying to change those who do.

You, me, and the other six billion people on the earth, the animal kingdom, insect kingdom, and all other organisms subject to death. None of the above examples will progress into another species population. We remain the same kind getting closer to the grave.
We already have whales 😕
We have hippos and whales--both distinct kinds or species which is consistent with the Bible--but we do not have any hippo/whale intermediaries.

You don't see the contradictions?
Why force your beliefs on others? I'm technically a Hindu and your beliefs are irrelevant to me, can't you understand that?
God could not have been fabricated because there is a plethora of evidence in the world around us that point to the existence of God (i.e. natural laws, morality, conscience, order, design, mathematics, will, complex life, etc).
What contradictions? The only contradictions that exist are with the theory of evolution. Everything that I believe about the Bible and God I accept by faith just like you do with evolution. The only difference is that in the case of evolution, there is no proof that life could evolve from non-life.
What is your definition of forcing something on someone?
Originally posted by PrabhodhHe never will, if you stump him or give him enough crap he will eventually just ignore you like he does me. He will always try and convert people because that is the only way that he knows to be a "Good Christian", he really doesn't give a crap about anyone and has said so on many occasions. He wouldn't even help a stranger if it meant that it could cause him harm, what a way to follow in His footsteps. 😉

That just shows your poor understanding of the theory of evolution. It's not the individual that evolves over time. It's the population. Furthermore, I don't see how death is proof of anything other than the fact that lots of things have died.

Just what exactly do you mean by intermediaries? Because I've never heard that term used in a biological aspect, but I have in economics terminology, and I'm pretty sure that in your scenario it doesn't properly describe what you're trying to say.

I didn't say that it was the individual that evolved over time, and I did say population.

I mean transitional.
You have sex, produce another human. That human that you produced has evolved. Evolution is not a human event, it's a life event.
Humans have a tail bone, and have no tail. A six week old foetus can be seen to have a gill pouch, yet we don't have gills.
And just out of interest, what is your level of education? And how old are you?

Why are hippos so closely related to whales, even though they look nothing alike?
I was watching National Geographic recently, and scientists choose to lump whales and dolphins in the same order as split-hoof mammals (pigs, hippos, deer, cattle, goats) because they're so genetically similar.

Procreation is not evolution in the sense that you mean it, besides that is what is supposed to happen when a man and a woman copulate.
Tailbone is a misnomer. The correct term is coccyx and it has a purpose. It was never a tail and is not one now. Do your research.
I encourage you to study embryology, you will be educated on the latest developments concerning supposed gill slits in early fetal development.

Tail bone is not a misnomer. The coccyx is commonly referred to as a tail bone. It is the remnant of a vestigial tail. Meaning that it has lost most or all of its original function because of evolution. And I do know that it still serves some purpose.
I suggest you do your research.
Again, what is your level of education?

Hippos are not related to whales.
If your premise is that evolution is true then you will believe the propaganda concerning the supposed close relation between hippos and whales.
Disabuse your mind of evolution being a fact because it is nothing of the sort. Evolution is an uproven, unscientific, untestable hypothesis. Just mathematically speaking--not to mention biologically and chemically--evolution is impossible.

But similarity does not imply common ancestry. Have you ever seen a person that resembles someone else before? Just because you see a look-a-like that does not mean that those two individuals are related.

You are looking for something that isn't needed.
Here is a grayscale. Point out to me all the transitional colors of gray from black to white. How many are there?
Life is not fixed plateaus that stop at one state, and then transition to another. If you want to see transitional life forms, look around you. Everything that is alive right now is a transitional life form from what it used to be to what it will become.

Your point then is to simply disbelieve. Regardless of all the facts, if you do not believe, then you will see how evolution cannot be real. This has nothing to do with evolution. This is you simply making a choice to close you eyes and plug your ears. This is called blind faith. Why don't you just tell people that in the first place?

Tail bone in the sense of a vestigial tail/remnant is a misnomer. The coccyx has a definite purpose; hence, it is not nor ever was a tail.
Do you realize that there is no evidence that evolution has occurred? So how can the tailbone have lost function that it has never been proven to have had in the first place?
