I don't find any thought threatening. I am completely secure in my beliefs, proven and unproven, and while I am no scientist (as I said before), I feel comfortably well-read all around. I'm familiar with evolution, young-earth creationism, progressive creationism, and basically everything in between.

I'll continue to disagree with you about adaptation being evolution, because I disagree that change within a species is evolution, and that's all adaptation is. I'll continue to disagree that the only difference between micro and macro is time because no one can prove that change from one species to another has ever happened, is happening or ever will happen, no matter what length of time is added to it.

And with regard to Darwin, I believe I said that I AGREE with what Darwin said about adaptation, but disagree with his further suppositions that became the theory of evolution.

I find it hard to believe that you can't find one bit of young earth evidence that looks at all compelling. If you are truly as opened minded as you indicate by saying anything's possible, then there has to be a point or two that seems plausible. The ONLY thing that really bothers me is the age of stars, and our ability to see so many light years away. Impossible to dismiss. But it is possible that there are time issues that we don't fully understand. Time doesn't always run the same, depending on where one is. It's a fascinating subject. But anyway...

As my husband likes to say, evolutionists have a problem with the idea that there is a designer, yet they want us to believe we came from a rock! :)

Thanks for the exchange. I don't usually post on the crevo threads because much of it is a bit too technical for me so I appreciate your responses. Have a good afternoon.

Ah, I'm sorry, I did miss your saying this.

I just find it so interesting that ya'll agree with the specifics of the theory, and only disagree when his theory contradicts you other beliefs.

I find it interesting your attempts to seperate 'micro' and 'macro' changes, as if big changes weren't related to little changes. Your experience proves this untrue in everything you observe. If you make a bunch of small changes to something, you will end up with a very different something.

As for the young Earth evidence, no, I'm afraid I haven't seen anything even the least little bit compelling. In fact what I read makes it clear we have two very different ideas about what "evidence" means. But I love reading the stuff. It makes for an awesome story, and would make a tremendous movie someday.

And anything is possible. I certainly could be wrong.
