How does he explain the drawings of people looking creatures with spikes in their heads and webbed feet?

WW-I era German frogmen.

You evolutionists are supposed to have all the answers... why didn't you have that one?

So when, precisely, did God appoint you His spokesman?

Personally, I think it's arrogant to decide for God how He created the universe. The best we can do is hope to understand it. If God chose evolution as the mechanism by which He created life, how would He explain the process to a primitive pastoral tribe in the Mideast, who knew nothing of genes or science or mathematics? Perhaps as an allegory?

What you're requiring is that the means by which God created Man be intelligible in literal terms to a primitive, barely literate tribe of humans. Now why would an Omnipotent Being do that? If you were going to write an operating system, would you insist that everthing you did be readily explainable to a three-year old?

By the way, I'm conservative, Catholic and am quite convinced to the truth of evolution. And I am not impressed by your attempts to dictate who can or can't be a conservative.

No, it must mean there existed a version of the satyr just wioth webbed feet. The drawings must be accurate on all counts.

The usual evolutionary argument seems to be that if the woman's pelvis were wider, then walking would be a challange, as it would present biomechanical difficulties.

The problem is that most woman can deliver a baby naturally [w/o c-section] and have no difficulty walking. This leaves the question as to why hasn't the allele for the narrow child-delivery restricting pelvis, been eliminated via natural selection?

I know many professionals and academics who are basically supportive of the principles of American conservatism. However, this flat-earth idiocy is probably the most important reason that keeps them from actually voting conservative.

Does that mean that depictions of humans and animals that we know to exist arn't real?

Satyrs have two horns. You want one spike and webbed feet, you're talking about a German frogman with flippers and a pickelhaube on.

Indeed it would be, and that is what evolutionists do. They deny the Word of God. They tell us how God should have made the world, man, the universe and everything. Of course, they could not have done better themselves but they nevertheless arrogantly tell us how he should have done things. The Bible, the Word of God, tells us that man and all life were specifically created by him. It is not I, it is not 'creationists' who say that. It is He who says it.

The slowest gazelle will get eaten. The fastest will not. But a gazelle that runs fast enough will still pass his genes.

We're caught in a trap,
Can't walk out,
Till I mark my place, baby...
