>You mean aside from the fossil record<

LOL!

Yup, fossils of cats turning into dogs, seals & walrus turning into whales.

After millions of years cite mud fish and some toothy bird as "proof".
Ask them about mid-transition fossils and see the laughable examples they come up with.

I have asked these questions of a number of creationists, and I have yet to get any answers. Perhaps you will accommodate me.

(1) What is the goal when you (and I use "you" collectively here to denote creationists in general) fabricate a fictional attribute of evolutionary theory, and then dismiss the theory because the fictional attribute has not been, and indeed cannot be, supported by evidence?

(2) Do you think it would be appropriate to use this technique of fabricating non-existence attributes when teaching evolutionary theory in the classroom?

(3) If yes to (2), then how would you reconcile Biblical admonitions against dishonesty with a deliberate dissemination of false information to unsuspecting students?

Isn't it funny, too, when some crature that was thought to be extinct for 200 million years is caught in a fisherman's net that suddenly it becomes a "living fossil"? Also, notice how only SOME animals "evolve".

I don't understand your strawman. Has anyone ever suggested that cats have "turned" into dogs or seals into whales? I didn't think so. I posted, as one example, a summary of the evolution of bears and dogs from a common ancestor. Do you disagree with that evolutionary tree? If so, specifically how? Thanks for your input.
