If we descended from Europeans, Africans and Asians, why are there still Europeans, Africans and Asians? You may wonder about such things, but there are more profitable things to wonder about. You may think common descent is a cop out, but it is supported by the same kind of DNA analysis that determines parentage in courts of law.
As for “how do they know how to acquire differences,” they don’t “know.” Nearly every individual has a few spontaneous copy errors in his genetic code. Most have no visible effect. Once in a while a difference adds or subtracts from an individual’s chances of reproducing.
Your opinion on whether skulls are human or primates is of little importance if you do not understand that humans are primates, and the skulls you question can be arranged in a sequence so that even creationists differ as to which are human and which are not.
Science cannot explain how life got started. True.
But you still haven’t explained what it means to be left behind by evolution’s train. Are you suggesting that monkeys haven’t changed since their lineage branched from their common ancestor with humans?
You realize, of course, that even critics of evolution like Behe (of Dover trial fame) accept common descent? If, by some chance, schools taught intelligent design, it would make things worse for young earth creationists, because it would become clear that even the critics of evolution accept the fact that it happens, and accept common descent.
Your arguments are weak at best. Common descent is present only because we have the same creator who “spoke” the creations into existance. Let’s go back to the explaining the start of life. This is important in that it seems the convoluted theory of Evolution wants to skip that and has effectively hijacked Gods creation to fit it’s own purposes for deception.
What you folks, don’t realize is that your hearts and minds are blinded by following a false God, an evil entity, and an agenda that will lose in the near term. Your very soul is at stake, this is no game nor is it a discussion on philosophy. If you were playing sports it would be like betting on a Pee Wee team that might have won some of their games with other Pee Wee teams, but the championship game will be against a Champion team from the NFL, and you are betting on the Pee Wee team because of their record in the Pee Wee league.....lolol...:) Seriously, I know that I shouldn’t make lite of your souls journey, but; you better take a second look at where your priorities lie. This goes for most that have rejected Jesus. We all have been on that journey. A prideful soul is one that will be blinded.....a soul that is humble and obedient will gain knowledge from discernment and blessings from God.
In any case, we shall then discuss and banter back and forth about Evolution....until one or both gets tired of it or just come to the “agree to disagree” mode. One thing to ponder, fooling folks into thinking that you are using Gods’ word to obsucate, will bring a lot of attention from the Spirit called God, for using his Holy Word to suit your purposes and with the intention to deceive. Better strap in for a rocky ride.
“If we descended from Europeans, Africans and Asians, why are there still Europeans, Africans and Asians? but there are more profitable things to wonder about.”
*** Naw....I think this is a good point to discuss. You don’t call the shots or change the rules of the game just because they didn’t teach you how to refute these issue in “Ewo School 101”.
To save time, lets throw the cards on the table and get it over with....:))

In order to be fair. This gives both the Pro-Evolutionist a fair shake and at the same time arms the Pro-Creationist a look at all the arguments to be prepared. Good idea you think? So, let the readers decide.
“Science cannot explain how life got started. True.
But you still haven’t explained what it means to be left behind by evolution’s train. Are you suggesting that monkeys haven’t changed since their lineage branched from their common ancestor with humans?”
*******lolol...good dodge, Evolution 102 course.
I figure this post will fuel some discussion....ya tink...
