I have no idea whether evolution caused the man to come about. I do know two things though, 1. The process of natural selection does occur (bacterial resistence duh..) 2. It is absurd to think the earth is 6000 years old.
Creationists would gain more converts if they could get past those two items.

If I may interject here. How do you KNOW how old the earth is? If you leave out the geologic column theory of age, could you honestly say you KNOW the earth is one age or another?

If I may further expound here. Natural selection meaning "naturally selected" to survive or become extinct is a fact. Our environment is ever changing and with those changes come other changes. I doubt that creationists deny that fact.
It is my understanding that the very root of the evolution theory begins with an explanation, any explanation of origins as long a God or a special creator is not in the picture. A Godless creation if you will.

You base this upon a geological column. You do not base it upon dating methods such as Carbon 14 or Potassium Argon because both do not work. The dates come from some man's theory and I don't care if you find it absurd, there is ample evidence that the earth is young. If you could get passed the geological column, then maybe you could see this.
