having a common ancestor to which they descended is not example of evolution, but the variety of encoded genetics within each animal (that is already there...case: dog varieties)

How do you know this? Has anyone found the genetic code already present in a wolf that can create a chihuahua? This isn't the first time I've heard this particular creationist claim, and it's always seemed to me that creation scientists should be working to isolate all that pre-existing genetic code, if only to see what new dog varieties might already be encoded for. As far as I know, no one's pursuing that tack. By contrast, scientists have found the differences in genetic code that determine, say, whether a dog is in a large breed or a small breed. That actually fits the evolution model quite well.

Regarding your quote: the idea that most people can be wrong is always a good thing to keep in mind, but it's in no way an argument that you're right. It's the reason scientists keep checking and rechecking the theory, trying to poke holes in it.

So exactly where does all the genetic information come from in your evolution model? It exists prior to large dogs and small dogs. When old Mendal worked with peas he didn’t make new information, he sorted out some existing information.

I am more of a believer in devolution where we are losing genetic information. Can you even imagine the genetic information “programed” in earlier times we have lost. Some will argue with me and say it is not lost, only hidden. They might be right.

Do you get up in the morning look at your computer and say, Man, I’m glad that computer evolved for me. Get a thinking cap.

Evolutionist Gordon Ratray Taylor wrote: “In all the thousands of fly-breeding experiments carried out all over the world for more than fifty years, a distinct new species has never been seen to emerge...” (1983, p. 34).
