Let's just say God transforms species then, O.K? Oh Ye of little

started selectively breeding coyotes and wildcats. Send me one of
their puppies and I will cross-breed it with my little Dahshound (sp?)
You will witness a micro example of natural selection in action.
Pigeon breeders in England invent new forms of life all the time.
Birds with feathers on their feet etc. Evolution, my good Christian
is all around you, but you are bound and determined to convince us
that it is a simple tree you are embracing and not the first leg of a
much much more complex giant elephant. ;-)


Two things...

One - you're saying that intelligent control and manipulation of
species can beget new species. I think you agree with the bible then.
The only thing you have wrong about evolution is you think it's
random.

Two - the examples you give are clearly NOT evolution. They're
adaptation and selective breeding.

What's unclear (and Darwin hisownself even admitted he didn't have a
clue why) is why there aren't fossils or other records of all the
transitional life forms between the species we DO know about. And do
you ever wonder why there is SO much proof of species coming and going
at a frantic pace even as recently as the last ice ages, but that
nowhere in the history of mankind has there ever been any observed
evidence of evolution?

Kind of a conundrum - if it happens really fast, we'd see it. If it
happens really slow, we'd see the fossil evidence.

Think about a bat. Evolutionists claim it all started when a rat got
into homebuilding (rah content). Thing is, you'd end up with
thousands of generations that couldn't walk very well and couldn't fly
very well in between (kind of like some of the rah regulars).

Heh.
