I've been asking this question of all the creationists on this topic.
Do you believe that all (and I mean ALL!) animals were created in their present form by God with absolutely no changes whatsoever to their physiology between the time they were created and now?
IOW, do you believe that animals do not evolve?
Did the chihuahua evolve into the mastiff or did the mastiff evolve into the chihuahua?
IOW, do you believe that animals do not evolve?
I'll bite Ol'Dan. I believe God created the universe and all that is in it between 11 and 15 billion years ago. He began the process of life on Earth after he created it about 4 billion years ago. When He began it I don't know. How He began it I don't know. I lean more toward Him creating many things much as they are and so I do not believe in macro evolution. I believe more in Him creating a variability within life to work with micro evolution. That is the variability within the species that allows for variances with breeding to change traits so that (for example) beak lengths of birds can change depending on their environment but the bird will not evolve into a duck because environmental changes would require it.
For instance when you discuss chihuahuas and mastiffs it is important to remember that they developed at the hands of an intelligent designer for our uses rather than as a result of natural selection.
So Ol' Dan, I'm not sure if that means I'm a creationist or an evolutionist or maybe you'd just call me confused.
