: : : : : I'm curious as to what you have read on evolution that makes you think that there is no evidence.
: : : : Please read my reply on late Sunday to Xavier. I will zoom through the site you gave and the site Xavier gave (already been reading).

: : : (Xavier) I may be wrong, but I am making the assumption that you believe in the "Great Flood" (please correct me if I'm in error). If Noah did not take ALL species aboard, but took only "kinds" of animals, then how did the millions of species we now see, get here? If he brought aboard two "dog-like" creatures, then all foxes, coyotes, wolves, etc., must have EVOLVED from the animals Noah brought with him. Therefore, even Young earth Creationists would have to accept the idea of evolution in order to explain their "great flood" ideas.
: : I don't think that you'll find a creationist who disagrees with the fact that microevolution occurred. If 2 "dog-like" creatures on the ark spawned all the "dog-like" creatures that we see today, I don't have a problem with that at all. It's when those 2 "dog-like" creatures are said to have spawned bears and those bears eventually spawned horses and horses spawned cows and so on and so on.
: (Xavier) First off, I know of no evolutionary scientists who follow the line of reasoning concerning evolution that you speak of. If you do believe in microevolution (small changes over time), why can't you believe that numurous small changes over long periods of time can lead to big changes, where the initial organism is far different from the one that has evolved over millions of years. Also, what scientific proof have you seen that shows you that all foxes, wolves, coyotes, etc. have evolved from a single species over less than 4000 years? These changes in such a short span of time would be phenomenal!
(John)The example was not meant to be taken as how I think evolutionists believe cows got here. I was just trying to make a clear distinction of the difference between macro and micro evolution. I also never said that I believed that all dog-like creatures were spawned from a single species of dog-like creatures. I said I didn't have a problem with it if it were so. Dogs, wolves, and foxes may have all been on the ark. Just like all living things MAY have evolved from single celled organisms floating in the ocean billions of years ago. There's no proof of either.
Also, I have added another response on the creation/evolution site where we have been corresponding before. Check it out.
