The only problem with your argument is that micro-evolution fails to explain macro-evolution. Also many many discoveries since Darwin cause his theory to completely fall apart.

But I’ll give you/evolution the benefit of the doubt if you can please explain in simple terms the following:

Polystrate fossils

Haldane Dilemmna

Rings of Saturn

Thousands upon thousand of still missing transitional fossils (per Darwin’s own words).

How the unique information encoded in the DNA of each unique type of organism originated (DNA is roughly 3 billion quadrenary-coded statements so it should not be that tough - ehh?).

I could go on but that’s enough for now since some claim evolution has been proven...

Polystrate fossils

This is not a geology term, but a creationist term for what geologists call "upright fossils" or "in situ trees." The issue was explained as long ago as 1868. To simplify immensely - sometimes an event (volcano lava, flood, repetitive floods in a basin or marsh) will partially or totally bury a tree. In situ trees are clearly rooted in a particular strata. In some cases the top has rotted away, but certain conditions mean that the tree won't rot or only very slowly, and another layer or layers may be deposited in a flood plain before that can happen.

Haldane dilemma

This one was dealt with years ago. Haldane himself said ""I am quite aware that my conclusions will probably need drastic revision." Since then, it was found he made inaccurate assumptions.

Rings of Saturn

Ok, now you lost me. The rings are geological feature of another planet, and I can't see what they have to do with biology on earth.

I have noticed that evolutionary religious zealots have started to bend the dialogue (much like their global warming religious zealots - or, maybe they're one and the saem). It used to be that small changes within species, which are easily observable and part of their design, was called adaption. They are now trying to call such changes "evolution" in an attempt to "prove" the theory of evolution. It might work on some mind-numbed parrots, which is what they're counting on, but the vast majority of intelligent people see through the smoke.

I posted the following on March 1:

A quick test for evolutionary religious zealots:

- How many DNA pairs are in the human genome?
- How many of those human DNA pairs differ from those of a chimp?
- How long would it take for a human to evolve from a chimp, assuming the necessary DNA mutations take place in exactly the right sequence, without any mistakes, and at the rate that is survivable.

Still not a single response!
