What I think is even more pathetic is this apparent conclusion that a single or even a few instances of critters which go against Darwin's theory of Natural Selection invalidate it in it's entirety. It is still a "theory" is it not? There are millions of species of critters are there not? I suppose you may think all psychology is bunk too cause only god can know what is truly going on inside our head. I know darwin's theory isn't perfect. Doesn't mean there isn't truth to it. Creationists appear to taken the entire realm of life, existance, evolution, etc and put up a wall claiming it to be their territory alone. I personally seek the truth. Not some idea based on faith in a book. The second you attribute any single characteristic to your god, you've cheated. Who can "know" god? And those who claim to. Prove it. :)
Why isn't the theory of natural selection considered another one of gods creations?

They might not be that old. Ya ever think of that?

Because the only reliable message we have from the Creator of the universe precludes it.

I'm with you. I alkso think that it is entirely possible that nature rediscovered one of its forms. Why not?

"Why isn't the theory of natural selection considered another one of gods creations?"Actually, it is. The Catholic Church's official view is that the Church doesn't care how God (capital G) formed the world and that Darwinism does not neccessarily conflict with Christianity at all. "To God, a day is like 100 years and 100 years is like a day." Millions of years to us is a day to God. Yes, there are Christians who don't buy that, but not all don't. Darwin was a devout Christian, not a devout atheist.
Keep in mind, science can never prove, or DISPROVE the existance of God. It's strictly a mater of faith, either way.

Prove it. :) Why isn't the theory of natural selection considered another one of gods creations?God has revealed Himself to us through his holy prophets and through the living word. The radically changed natures of all those who come into contact with them and believe as well as live the new life, is the proof.
If God had created the world through evolution, he would have said so. The truth is, he says differently and man, as the created thing, as a pot in relation to the potter, is in no place to dispute him. It is the height of pride and arrogance to claim to have more knowledge than the Creator. Most of mankind has no difficulty in assuming that position, but a true believer will not.
