Oh, goodness me, abelcainsbrother, what an extraordinary post. What on earth makes you think you have explained that evolution is a myth? Anybody coming to this forum in any kind of uncertainty could only lean further and further towards evolution after reading your comments. I'm not sure whom this inquiry is aimed at - presumably not, me, Audie or neo-x, whom you have already dismissed as incorrigible, but surely even convinced creationists wince at the thought of having you on their side!
I guess I could drive my point home better if I actually posted links showing how the evidence in evolution science does not back up what they explain and shows that there is only variability amongst the populations and from this everything else about evolution is assumed.
Yup. Provided it does actually do that, rather than merely make vague biblical assertions.
I've still got a few questions for evolutionists to answer and they are how could Pakicetus evolve into a whale based on the evidence
You've got plenty of questions, but don't seem to be interested in the answers. Still, hope springing eternal in the human breast, here we go...
1) From a comparison of their DNA, the closest non-marine species related to whales today is the hippopotamus. If the time-clock derived from the known rate of mutations is accurate, these two should have shared a common ancestor about 50 million years ago.
2) From the fossil record, there is no evidence of either hippos or whales 50 million years ago, but there is evidence of para-aquatic mammalian quadrupeds, with some of the characteristics of both hippos and whales. The earliest of these are found in the western Himalayas.
3) From the evidence of plate tectonics, the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian plate at around this time, gradually squeezing the Tethys Ocean between them. The environmental changes caused by this meant that animals perfectly adapted to earlier environments were no longer so well adapted.
4) From successive fossil evidence, the common ancestor diversified in two main varieties, one more terrestrial, and one more aquatic. The terrestrial one roamed Eurasia, North America and Africa (then all joined together), while the semi-aquatic one become gradually more aquatic, eventually escaping from the Tethys sea westwards.
5) From genetic studies, it can be observed that mutations can suppress, enhance and reposition physiological features.
These observations all support the hypothesis that whales and hippos had a common ancestor about 50 million years ago. They do not demonstrate that the hyopothesis is true, and they certainly do not prove it. However we have yet to find any evidence that weakens it, which is encouraging.
science that shows viruses remain viruses,bacteria remains bacteria,fruit flies remain fruit flies,salamanders remain salamanders,etc with only normal variation?
This is untrue.
My other question is when it comes to speciation,why is it so important in evolution science whether or not a certian kind of life can breed or not?
No, this is not another question. It is the same question as you asked in your previous post, to which I have already replied.
Because it makes no difference if it can or cannot breed it is still going to lead to the same kind of life,with only normal variability amongst that population.
That rather depends on what you mean by another "kind of life". I wonder if readers of this forum would care to list some, as the term "kind" always seems a bit vague to me.
It could not lead to another kind of life no matter how much variation there can be.
Unsupported and unjustified assertion.
Just think of all of the different dog breeds that have been produced,I mean different shapes and sizes and all from wolves but they are all still dogs and always will be and not all dogs can breed.
Are hyaenas dogs, or cats, or are they a different "kind" altogether?
