I was using the kitty cat as an absurd illustration of species jumping to species. I realize that Evolutionists look at something with a little tighter reign than that. However, DNA mutation is usually harmful to a species and does not result in its become an entirely different KIND of animal. Evolution believes we sprang from molten rock over millions of years of time. This is a hypothesis *defined : a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences. Science assumes billions of years. Science assumes evolution. It hypothesizes how this occurred and then looks for the evidence.

In a word, WRONG.

Science looks at the evidence it has collected, comes up with a hypothesis to fit the evidence, then looks for evidence that the hypothesis predicts.

When science indeed finds the evidence that the hypothesis predicts, the Hypothesis becomes a theory.

So, evolution was put together by scientists who were looking at evidence, then, once they had come up with the hypothesis, they looked for evidence that the theory predicted.

So far, evolution has passed EVERY muster, including every strawman that you have brought up throughout this thread.

Evolution makes predictions, until you can come up with SCIENTIFICALLY verifiable and repeatable evidence to prove it wrong, evolution will remain where it is.

So far, EVERY strawman that you have brought out has been blown to bits, you've got straw scattered all over the thread. I could layer a good sized barn with the amount of straw that has been shredded from your strawmen.

Codswallop. In the 19th century, it was believed that the Earth was no more than 30 million years old. The geological evidence that the Earth was several billion years old came as a bolt from the blue. Far from an assumption, the fact of Earth's enormous age obtruded itself in spite of what the theorists believed.
