>>We cannot go back into time and see how the world was created. But scientific theories make predictions that can be verified. For example, the theory of evolution includes the observation that all life has descended from a common ancestor.<<

Yikes! That is not correct. It is an interpretation based on what is observed, not what is actually observed.

And here lies the root falacy of religious evolutionists.

When a kid takes a lego set and sets off to make toy insects, dogs, firemen and jet planes, they may "appear" to all have a common ancestor since they are all made of legos. But the only things they have in common is that the building material was the same and the designer was the same.

All living things were designed to live withing this particular ecosystem.

If life forms, like legos, did not reproduce, then you might have a point. As it is, however, this is a faulty analogy.

But what can I expect from someone who has pretty much made it known that they are willing to use lies to attack evolution?
