To: Westbrook; Revolting cat!
Why are there no replies to # 68 by Westbrook? Curiouser. Makes too much sense? Hits a raw nerve?

I'll take a shot. Perhaps you both could answer my question?

I was once an atheist and an evolutionist.

You write that you used to be an evolutionist? Does this mean that you no longer believe that evolution is valid?

If so, do you believe that all (and I mean ALL) animals were created by God in their present form with absolutely no changes whatsoever between the time they were created and now?

IOW, do you believe that animals do not evolve?

I no longer have Faith in such fanciful delusions as birds evolving from reptiles and bats evolving from shrews. It's every bit as silly as proposing that dogs evolved from cats.

Creatures do adapt to their surroundings according to the range of adaptations provided for them in their DNA; i.e. Peppered Moths can be selected for color by environmental pressures. They remained Peppered Moths and could only breed with other peppered moths.

If I remember correctly, even this evolutionist "study" was recently exposed as a hoax.

You did not address any of the other points I raised in my post, such as, how can you be an "Objectivist" when you must base your worldview upon the subjective assumptions I enumerated?

Nor did you address how we can trust our randomly "evolved" randomly functioning logic to create "law" that has any objective meaning.

I believe that God created just as He said He did in the Bible.

It's every bit as valid a Faith as yours is, and perhaps even moreso, given the implications of your Faith in my previous note.
