The only argument is that there is a difference between micro/macro evolution...But this is like saying "I believe in days but not years."

This is what creationists would call "microevolution", something they are forced to accept because it is so obvious right in front of our faces. Microevolutionists claim that a species can change in small ways, but even if it changes in thousands of small ways so that it no longer has any resemblance whatsoever to the original form, it is still the same species. Which of course would mean that no new species have appeared since the original creation. Which of course is completely out of touch with reality.

Absolutely!! Isn't that a beautful thing?? I am a believer in Christ and still believe that evolution certainly occured and continues to occur. I think it's amazing. How that works. Very cool article.

Wait for it....a few Christians will now come here and claim that quick adaptation don't prove no God *insert quirky banjo music*
Creator: Made everything as is.
Evolution:: Adaptation.
How much easier could it be to understand?
Sadly, the God of Gaps will leap into action...

If pigs sprouted wings and began to fly you'd deny GOD ALMIGHTY THE ONE TRUE GOD, GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND OF ISAAC, AND OF JACOB, had anything to do with it. If the dead rose from their grave would you still deny it? Of course the dead have risen and appeared to many, and many have gone to HEAVEN to be with the LORD who rose from the grave to show is HE IS THE LORD! . ..
But now butterflies survive and you say it is more proof GOD doesn't have anything to do with CREATION?
Why do we not see that it is GOD saving the butterflies?
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

Since when does one butterfly develop characteristics from another butterfly, prove evolution?
Ans: It doesn't.
Now, if you would have shown be it turned into a bird, then you would have proven evolutuon.But no one has ever seen any such proof.
That's right no one.

This is selection from existing genetic information - not creating new information.
Like dog breeding - you can bread 2 wolves to eventually get dachsunds but you can never get wolves from dachsunds.
Information is lost in breeding.
Yes evolution but not in the way it is proposed by evolutionists.

We have no problem with evolutioin
We have problems with COMING FROM APES
And RANDOM CREATION
It's obvious from TV, Microwaves and IPODS
That INTELLEGENT DESIGN RULES
