Default A big problem for evolutionists (xpost from politards)

You wake up tomorrow morning and find a HUGE ASTEROID hurtling into earth, causing a catastrophic impact, plunging the world into a nuclear-winter-type scenario.

What species will survive? What adaptations, mutations, etc will we see? What will be the dominant species on earth 10,000 years from now? 1 million years from now?

Is the failure to provide specific, exact answers to these questions indicative of a fatal flaw in the theory of evolution?

Of course not. Evolution only states that mutation and selection happens. It doesn't say that we can predict it in advance.

When fatalists stop using the Earth as a catcher's mitt, we'll all be the better for it.

Actually the flaw is in the theory of weather. IF we could predict the exact weather on each square inch of earth for the 500 years following the impact then we'd have a decent backdrop to make evolutionary predictions. Until they fix up their blasted Theory of Weather, we'll have to be happy with witnessing evolution unfold for the most part.

There is no predictive theory of future evolution from previous evolution; for the same reason that there is no predictive theory of human culture, politics, and diplomacy from history.

And I thought it was going to be cockroaches!

To the OP, really poor choice of subject. It seems you don't know much about evolution at all! No problems for evolutionists, big problem for creationists unless they attribute the meteor to the creator too who then becomes destructr. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyway the two, evolution and creation, should not be mentionned in the same sentence, one is science the other in bunkum. It sounds like a crosspost from retards to me.
