I think I just gave them.
We all have our beliefs and I don`t wish to anger or offend anyone.
Any time I have discussed evolution with someone they have to inevitably admit that they don`t know all the process that evolution has taken, but they still believe it to be true and all will be discovered someday.
That is fine and I can claim no more in believing in creation.I can not irrefutably prove that creation is the truth.

I do not know where you stand as such but I am satisfied in a faith in creation.Most evolutionists feel the need to state that evolution is a proven fact which it is not.

I agree with you. It takes much more faith to believe in evolution. I place my faith in Intelligent Design (God).

I think you would be more intellectually honest to say right out front that you don't really understand the theory of evolution, and don't intend to try, because you are satisfied with your "faith in creation", by which you mean a faith that Genesis is literally true, e.g., the Universe was created in seven days that were 24 hours long, approximately 6000 - 10000 years ago.

Just tell the truth. You don't know enough about evolution to refute it, and you have no motivation to try. Just give you that Old Time Religion, it's good enough for you.

You are mistaken. You made a few straw-man broadsides which showed that you actually know very little about evolution (and what you think you know is incorrect).

You stated your belief as, "That is why when [evolution is] challenged on the merits no rational argument is presented" -- but I'm afraid that making a few misrepresentations about evolution (or themodynamics) is hardly "challenging evolution on the merits".

Would you care to try again?
