Oh boy, your "car" reply is even stronger evidence that you've been getting your information from creationist websites and not even thinking through their propositions before regurgitating them here. Do cars compete for mates, or food? Do they have offspring, some of whom will survive and some who won't? You have drunk deeply of Satan's koolaid; Morton's demon is perched on your shoulder preventing you from using the brain God gave you. You claim there is evidence all around for your case. So far, all you've done is make assertions and post deceitful quotes. If that's all you've got, you don't have a dog in this hunt.

As far as I recall, I had never visited a creationist website (except for one about dinosaurs once a year or so ago by some guy who I think said he was making a "creation" theme park or some such stuff) until you turned me on to the Answers in Genesis site the other day. My thoughts on this matter began to be formed during high school when I was clearly a believer in evolution (my teachers would never be wrong, would they?) and things started not adding up to me. I read books and magazines (The internet was not the burgeoning monster it is today, but merely a collection of .mil and .edu addresses with some BBS's spattered in there for porn freaks and hackers to play with) What I discovered was that there appeared to be a gross contradiction in what my teachers in high school and later my professors in college were teaching me. Rules of evidence and standards of proof for evolution were clearly not the same as for other areas of science.

Anyway, I suppose all the information you have about the debate is derived first hand ... traveling the world, digging up fossils and looking at layers upon layers of strata. On a ship called the Beagle II, no doubt.

You claim there is evidence all around for your case. So far, all you've done is make assertions and post deceitful quotes...

As I said before, the quote was meant to be amusing, as it is to me, not deceitful. The graphic with text was even take from a pro-evolution power point presentation which goes on to draw the same flimsy conclusions you all point to here.

I've posted my "evidence" on the matter. although again I will be sure to say that my "evidence" relies mostly on faith. I, at least, can be genuine about that matter; I have yet to meet an evolutionist who will admit that his is a religion more than a science.

You stoop to name calling and personal attacks because you have reached a point where you are out of "evidence" and all your previous evidence has been nothing of the sort. I'm still looking for a post showing the evolution of one kind to another (You won't post that, because there is none) but instead you bore me with the tired argument that because speciation is possible, a greater evolution must be possible, too, even though we cannot observe it, test it, or recreate it. Junk science at it's best.
