I posted those because a friend of mine had emailed them over to me. I'm sorry if they're plagiarized. I'll ask her next time we talk about it. I personally do not think that evolution does not exist. However, I believed it would be appropriate and relevant to bring up those facts as another side of the argument. I do believe though that God created this beautiful earth; just as we grow each day closer and closer to the so-called "end times", our earth evolves to fit God's plan. I do propose a question. Many of my friends who are Christians can't stand the fact that I give evolution some merit. They argue that all things were in its final form for example, when the Great Flood occurred. Changes then can be cited to variants of genetic alleles ,they say. I reply with facts that species behaviorally adapt according to their environment, etc. What else could I say to that claim?

Unfortunately "facts" that don't fit the evidence (or are outright lies) are not exactly a good argument for the opposite side.
I do believe though that God created this beautiful earth;
Evolution does not deny this (nor supports it either). Evolution is a scientific theory.
just as we grow each day closer and closer to the so-called "end times", our earth evolves to fit God's plan.
Not to get into a theological argument with you, however, the "end times" have been imminent for the last 2000 years.

Again I suggest starting with TO (the link I provided earlier). Good stuff there. :-)

"However, I believed it would be appropriate and relevant to bring up those facts as another side of the argument."
But those *facts* are wrong. I showed you why one of them was; the link I provided showed in detail why the calculation about population growth was wildly off. Others here have provided refutations of the other claims. It's not just that the claims are recycled, it's that they are wrong.
