Indeed much has changed. The 'facts' are no longer facts, are they? Even from, oh, say, 70 years ago?

The science my father was taught in medical school (taught as fact) in the 1930's is laughable now.

What is it that gives you the confidence that in another 70 years (or less), the things you believe are 'facts' won't be laughed at by those who now have 'new' information?

Science is supposedly based on empirical evidence and study. What empirical evidence do you have to support ANY of the things you believe about evolution? (Answer.....none). You are taking it on faith, based on the deductions of others, who continue to be proven wrong.

I prefer to put my faith in something more consistent.........in Someone who is immutable.

You can put your faith wherever you choose, regardless of how weak and changing the basis of your faith may be. Your Creator has endowed you with the right to reject Him.

Well said.

What evolutionists are claiming as lack of evidence on the Creationists side, they don't have themselves. Yet they ardently and FAITHFULLY believe in evolution and ridicule those that believe differently.

They have a bunch of bones and say they have evidence. If I had a bag full of parts from a 2003 Corvette and a bag full of parts from a 2006 Corvette and reconstructed it; can I now claim that the 2006 version evolved (on its own) from the 2003 version because they have commonality? When in reality, both versions share a common creator/design team.

God may be immutable and consistent. But man's ideas about God are not. Indeed, very few groups on earth agree on exactly what God is saying in the Bible, even though they live at the same time. Then study the history of Christian theology, what Christians believed prior to the Civil War, the reformation, on and on. Nothing is consistent about what man believes about God.

I believe that God is consistent. But to think that what you believe about God is consistent with anyone around you, or any time in history is delusional.

My ideas about evolution, and that it does not conflict with Genesis were taught me at a church youth camp by a deacon in the Southern Baptist Church. His day job was a science professor, and the church had no problem with what he taught. My children now attend in the same general congregation, but now they preach Darwin hate and ID. They don't believe me that I wasn't taught the same thing.

God is immutable. Your belief is not.

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. Using modern DNA sequencing techniques, we can now read and compare the DNA of short-lived simple organisms such as bacteria in near real time. We can observe genetic markers move from generation to generation in a predicable manner. This means we can now directly measure the rate of change in the genomes that occurs over time. This is the very definition of evolution, and moves microevolution from the theoretical to the empirical.
