In post #1202 you wrote "It must take place because mastidons became elephants. Everyone already knows that, so it doesn't have to be shown how, in a peer reviewed article with detailed studies."

I queried you on this in #1203, and in #1204 I provided a "hint," a nice diagram showing the development of the different elephant species. It shows that mastidons [sic] did not became elephants.

Your response to the diagram, "If the teachings of Evolutionists are based just on hints, it for sure requires a leap of faith to jump from one of those lines to the next" does not make sense.

Evolution relies on both facts and theories; there is no "leap of faith." That sounds more appropriate to a religion.

There has been, and still is, a lot of hard work going into all of the different fields of study that contribute to evolution. It is an exciting field, and producing some very interesting results. You really should look into it sometime.

The Apostle Paul defined Faith as hope in things not seen.

Your faith that the Theories will come to pass certainly is an expression of faith in the teachings of your anointed.

It certainly is not proven science.

Expressions of faith are OK. I don't critiscize anyone for that.
