Yes. If evolution is bunk, then all creatures today existed in the same form hundreds of millions of years ago.

What do you mean by evolution? Animals absolutely change. The question is to what degree. For instance, should one insist that all life descended from a single cell? How about solely via random mutation and recombination, and natural selection?

Well I seemed to have been involved in two arguments. One is evolution doesn't exist at all. The second one is what we think of as evolution is really a designer making changes over time. Am I phrasing these properly? If so... then I have been arguing against both.

should one insist that all life descended from a single cell?

Well...is that so hard to believe given we all individually start out conceived as a single cell when a sperm and egg meet?
