What Catholics Believe

[cheka.]

evolution is another (lie)

devolution is reality. earth's biota is in a steady unchecked decline of complexity

a simple test to prove it -- are more species being created or being eliminated? pick any time frame - it all points in same direction

the jew tries to conflate evolution with natural selection

natural selection is so simplistic and obvious that it is not worth mentioning, ever - yet it is often used as 'proof' of evolution by the liars and their dupes

left undisturbed, things lose complexity, not gain it....ie, randomness does not build complexity --- their key argument is that it does

if you ask 'how' does this happen -- they say 'time'. millions, billions, trillions of years -- whatever number it takes to sound convincing

"evolution is another (lie)"

Lies involve a jump to judgment.

People discuss theories all the time. That doesn't make them liars.

A case in point is thermodynamics. Before the steam engine nobody cares about the properties of water above the boiling point. They needed to invent thermodynamics to learn how to optimize the steam engine.

Before the steam engine if you discussed the properties of water in it's steam phase likely you would have been judged a witch and burned at the stake.

I find current era concern with such arguments seem a little like being on the Titanic and arguing about how the deck chairs were prototyped.
No offence or insult meant to the animals.



theguardian.com: Humanity has wiped out 60% of animal populations since 1970 (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/30/humanity-wiped-out-animals-since-1970-major-report-finds)

Humanity has wiped out 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970, leading the world’s foremost experts to warn that the annihilation of wildlife is now an emergency that threatens civilisation.

The new estimate of the massacre of wildlife is made in a major report produced by WWF and involving 59 scientists from across the globe. It finds that the vast and growing consumption of food and resources by the global population is destroying the web of life, billions of years in the making, upon which human society ultimately depends for clean air, water and everything else.

un.org: UN Report: Nature’s Dangerous Decline ‘Unprecedented’; Species Extinction Rates ‘Accelerating’ (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2019/05/nature-decline-unprecedented-report/)

The Report finds that around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history...

More than 40% of amphibian species, almost 33% of reef-forming corals and more than a third of all marine mammals are threatened. The picture is less clear for insect species, but available evidence supports a tentative estimate of 10% being threatened. At least 680 vertebrate species had been driven to extinction since the 16th century and more than 9% of all domesticated breeds of mammals used for food and agriculture had become extinct by 2016, with at least 1,000 more breeds still threatened.

ec.europa.eu: eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Fertility_statistics (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Fertility_statistics)

1.53 live births per woman in the EU in 2019

A total fertility rate of around 2.1 live births per woman is considered to be the replacement level in developed countries: in other words, the average number of live births per woman required to keep the population size constant in the absence of migration.

I don't believe in evolution. James Perloff has a good book on why evolution is BS.

Also, if you look into the pre-history, it looks like we have been devolving--there's lots of evidence that the ancients had more advanced technology than we have today.
