You evolutionist guys have a real problem. Your teaching methods, as I have been exposed to them in the past, suck! What you say certainly makes sense, and while I do understand that mutations occur all the time, I was unclear on the possibilities that you outlined. On the surface, it seems plausible, but I will withhold judgment personally, because there are others more capable than myself to challenge it.

The 'good' news, ovrtaxt says sarcastically, is that true Christianity is being taught about as effectively in America, if "christian" television is any indication. haha

Thanks for the info, really. I still believe exactly what the Bible says, because Jesus has never lied to me yet, and I speak with Him all the time.

But assuming that your info is also true, and they can coexist with no contradiction, it doesn't challenge my faith in the least. God never said that species don't mutate. If that's how He set it up, cool.

Science is a wonderful thing, truly understood, and scientists owe a debt of gratitude to Christianity for injecting intellectual honesty into a largely superstitious and fearful religious worldview 2000 years ago-- the religious control freaks in the dark ages notwithstanding.

By the same token, Christianity owes a debt of gratitude to science, because without guys like Copernicus and Galileo, where would we get guys like Tyndale and Luther? Or Columbus? Same spirit of challenging the artificial order of man in the name of God.

Right after I posted that, I found these articles.

Science or Miracle?

World's Tiniest Baby

Like I said, we all owe a debt of gratitude.
