Elizabeth C. Turner is an Earth Science professor at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. She is a geologist and paleobiologist. In a recent article, she asked the question, “Ever wonder how and when animals swanned onto the evolutionary stage?” You can read the article for yourself at: https://theconversation.com/a-new-fossil-discovery-may-add-hundreds-of-millions-of-years-to-the-evolutionary-history-of-animals-167945)
Well, to begin with, she has made a MASSIVE assumption that she has no way to support – the assumption that naturalistic evolution actually explains reality. She is, obviously, totally committed to her belief that it does, but she must do it without evidence. It is her religious belief. Look at some of the comments she actually makes in the article:
Good grief! All of the assumptions and speculation in this article was beginning to make my head spin.
I have read tons of articles where evolutionary scientists have put forth their ideas about how the life forms that currently exist on earth got here, and they all do the same thing this writer has done. First, they assume, without any hard scientific evidence, that naturalistic evolution is true. Then, based on that assumption, they begin speculating about what “may have” happened.
What you need to know is that there is not one bit of science to be seen. These “scientists” gather all kinds of data (fossils, anatomical studies, DNA sequences, etc.) for their studies. But data is not science. Data is data. It has to be interpreted through some philosophical lens. So what do these folks do? They pick the naturalistic lens, then begin trying to figure out how the data can support their beliefs. Did you notice? They don’t start with science. They start with their assumption that evolution is true. The truth is, though, there is no actual science that shows naturalistic evolution is even possible. There is no science able to demonstrate that less complex life forms can naturally evolve to more complex forms. It is assumed to be true, then the speculation begins as they try to figure out how it might be possible. What you are looking at here is religion, not science.
Honestly, it is easy to get intimidated by all of these academics with their advanced degrees – especially when they start blasting away at those who don’t believe in Naturalism. They are convinced that people who don’t believe like they do are ignorant oafs – and they are not shy about talking down to the “peons.”
But don’t be intimidated! When they do that, they are not sharing science, they are sharing their religious beliefs – and those beliefs are simply false. Before you allow yourself to be intimidated like that, make them show you the actual science that shows naturalistic evolution is even possible. Push back on them as hard as they push on you and make them show you the science. If you do that, they will eventually just walk away. They will walk away because there is no science to show.

Great job of showing how SCIENCE twists things to make it fit their agenda and theory!
