that is, true vertical evolution, from simpler kind to some more complex kind. And as concerns the past, no one in 5,000 years of recorded history has ever recorded evolution.Therefore, Evolution is based on the philosophical premise of naturalism, not science.

Despite a cry of disbelief from the other side, there is in fact a huge body of scientists who have trouble with the theory of evolution. So much trouble, in fact, that they're signing a list and making their objections public. Check out the link below to find the names and credentials of these scientists. There's also a list of doctors and surgeons (about 17 or more pages long) who don't believe they evolved.

The evolutionists on the site will call these scientists every kind of foul name and imply that they all got their degrees from Nowhere University or a Christian college. Not true. They're from the finest universities in the world.

Err, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "vertical" evolution and how this might contrast with any other type. Is there a website that explains this concept or did you just invent it?

Is there a theory of "horizontal" or "diagonal" evolution?

According to the Creationists there were only about 16,000 "kinds" of animals on the ark. Conservative estimates of currently living known animal species are well over a million and probably in the 10s of millions.

This means that at the very least around 850,000 new animal species have evolved over the past few thousand years from common ancestors who stepped, flopped, flipped and flapped off the Ark - an average of several hundred and maybe several thousand new species a year (ignoring extinctions).

That's (ahem) a lot of speciation in such a short period, and an enormous amount of evolution over an incredibly short time. Of course evolving new species is not macroevolution, is it? Most evolutionists would find such a rate of speciation implausibly fast, given the scientific evidence of how fast evolution works.

So, are Creationists arguing that evolution is much faster, more dramtic and more radical than the scientists say is possible?

Define evidence.

True that no new major species has evolved within recorded history, but note that evolution works on a timescale of billions of years. Define evolution btw, for microevolution has certainly been observed. Currently, it is the fossil record that shows us thousands of small changes between species that supports evolution occurring in the past and now the same thing is happening presently and there is no reason to think that current microevolution will not lead to a new species.

True that evolution is a theory and macroevolution has not yet been observed, but it remains in the realm of science with the "theory" of relativity and the "theory" of gravity.

Now, has creationism ever been observed?

No, evolution is science, since addition of complexity has been observed, and there is evidence of increasing complexity in the fossil record.

How tall are you?
Did you start out that tall?
Did you feel yourself growing?
So, how did you know you grew?
Transposing that to evolution.
We don't know how we are evolving, so we can't measure a start point to see where we've got to.
i.e. no-one has recorded evolution because they don't know it's happening.

Microevolution, or variation within the species is well documented. But to suggest that we therefore know for certain that macroevolution also occurs is preposterous and not to mention unscientific. You will find that evolutionists instead of facing the facts will over and over again religiously defend their beliefs what clearly results in giving science a bad name.

I bet you can't give an educational citation to that can you?

That's because evolution is the biggest lie ever believed.
