"People don't just pull those numbers out of hats."

Yes they do just pull numbers out of the air with no factual basis. People lie all of the time to support something they really want to fly. Just like some people have read the quran with all its text about killing all unbelievers or enslaving them and witnessed first hand the actions of islamofascist terrorists and still come to the conclusion that islam is the "religion of peace".

You are truly blinded if you can honestly believe people don't just make up facts to support their particular idea. I consider evolution impossible to have happened, in spite of all of the so-called evidence. First of all, why would evolution just suddenly begin, then stop never to happen again? Lets face it, evolution, if it ever happened, is not happening now. Why aren't there species alive today with both human and ape characteristics, or any other species that show characteristics of evolving from one species to another? This idea of conditions just happened to be right for it then but not now is a giant leap from here to there. I think it takes far greater faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe an Almighty God created all life on Earth.

Yes they do just pull numbers out of the air with no factual basis. People lie all of the time to support something they really want to fly.

Indeed.

First of all, why would evolution just suddenly begin, then stop never to happen again? Lets face it, evolution, if it ever happened, is not happening now.

What makes you think evolution isn't occuring now?

Why aren't there species alive today with both human and ape characteristics

Huh? There used to be a variety of hominids wandering around, even as recently as 26,000 years ago or so (Neanderthals), but they've all been replaced by homo sapiens. Do you really expect ape-men to be running around?

First of all, why would evolution just suddenly begin, then stop never to happen again?

WHAT!?

It's STOPPED???

How do we explain all off these uncompleted things that are observed on all species of critters?

Things that aren't quite functional yet, as the last puzzle piece hasn't 'evolved' and fallen into place.

(This IS the way 'e' is explained nowadays, isn't it?)

When have evolutin stopped? If you wish to see evolution on quick scale, simply look to bacterias and virus...maybe you recall Sars, new virus arise that not exist before or when strain of animal virus mutate and able to leap species. As for animal evolution, insects good to look at on short time...or wait, you demand proof by seeing whole new species in your short lifespan....that is right, you demand to see what God sees on scale of your life, rather then His existance...now if that is arragance,what else is?
