I think you are a Jewish man...I am a Catholic girl....I believe that God created everything just the way he wanted it...he made NO mistakes....and besides, there is NO evidence of the process of evolving....anywhere.

IF there was evolution there would be a CLEAR process that could be shown in any and every Natural History Museum. I have been to many and haven't seen such things.

I think you are a Jewish man...

As an unreconstructed Judeophile, I thank you kindly and sincerely, but I'm not equal to the honor, being Pennsylvania Dutch in ancestry, Moravian by upbringing, and a Deist by faith.

I believe that God created everything just the way he wanted it...he made NO mistakes....

I agree completely. (That's the essence of Deism, by the way.) Because God created the universe exactly right from the very first instant (i.e. at the Big Bang), He has had no need to interfere or adjust its workings at any time. Therefore, some sort of materialistic, automatic process must have generated the species we see today. If not Darwinism, then something else (Lamarckism, Lysenkoism, what have you). To believe otherwise is to demand divine tinkering, which is another word for correction, which can only imply mistakes.

I've been to many, and I've seen them bursting with such things.

"...and besides, there is NO evidence of the process of evolving....anywhere."

I do think that is inaccurate, and at the same time presumptuous. There is evidence, and that is what should be disputed if you want to prove a point.

Perhaps one might begin by defining what the word "evidence" means. I think that many here might disagree on the different meanings of a word which is not really that controversial most of the time.

and besides, there is NO evidence of the process of evolving....anywhere.

False. The example of flu virus mutations was given in the post before yours. Are you going to graciously accept last year's flu shot, or the one from the year before because you don't believe anything evolves?

Then there is this: This is a transitional. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center). Evolution occurred between these various species. You may not believe it, but scientists do and it is their opinions which count.

Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)
