: Well, I will first start by saying that I do not believe in evolution if it means that all life on this planet came from the same original lifeform. All these arguments that I hear are of thing I classify as adaption. All things adapt to their enviroment and yes, some things do change slightly for the better, but the belief that we all came from a single cell lifeform, COME ON. Only the strong survive and that is why things change slightly as time goes on. If these things such as "evolution" did accur from a single cell organism, it would have taken literaly Trillions of years for all the diversified types of life forms today. Scientists have already said how old the world is, and it is NOT trillions of years old. Well my argument has come to a close.

: Phd. Biological Science, OSU
Since you imply that you have a PhD in Biological Studies from OSU, what was the subject of your thesis? The reason I ask is that it was always my understanding that the biological sciences were very intertwined with accepted theories of evolution. It is confusing to me how someone could continue through the biological science courses required for their PhD if they failed to accept some of its most fundamental ideas. I am also curious as to what OSU you attended. Which one was it?
