Evolution did not happen at all.

I respect your straightforward ignorance.

I do know what I am arguing against. I am arguing against those that would try to discredit the Bible based on an unproven theory.

If you can find the part of evolutionary theory that mentions the Bible or God or really any religious text or deity, I'll never bother you again. Furthermore, no theory is "proven." Mountains of evidence are collected and a theory is derived from that evidence. If you are hiding a taller mountain of evidence for your hypothesis, please do share it and from that, perhaps a better theory can be derived. Until then, you have nothing.

Creation happened, not evolution.

Yeah, you already said that. I'm sure you have some brilliant revelation as to why you say this...

Dogs make dogs, and regardless of the time allowed, dogs will not ‘evolve’ to birds.

*Knock me over with a feather!*

Let me get on the phone with Nature. You have upended 160 years of biology, paleontology, botany and geology with that sentence! Oh wait... No scientist has ever said that dogs "evolved" into birds. In fact, they would also all agree that "dogs make dogs."

Since you are well-versed in dogs, here's a simple quiz:

What's this?
And this?
And this?
And this?

And those are all living today. Imagine the variety of all those extinct animals!

The convoluted ‘faith’ required to believe in increasing complexity and life changing basic forms over time.

Are you talking at yourself? I'm sure you proudly proclaim your faith. And you have faith that the Bronze Age goat herders whose borrowed creation myth trumps 160 years of evolutionary science.

Evolutionary ‘THEORY’ runs counter to the creation account in the Bible. It is therefore a tool being used to attempt to discredit the Bible. IF Genesis can be ‘shown’ to be false then the rest can follow.

After all, ‘science’ says that the creation account is false. Therefore, we can also use ‘science’ to show that just about anything else God-related in the Bible is false.

The Red Sea splitting? That would be false, as ‘science’ says that is not possible. The three Hebrew children thrown in the fire? False, ‘science’ would say that their fate would be to burn, no survivors there. And finally, Jesus rising on the third day? Forget it, ‘science’ has PROVEN, the dead are dead, especially after 3 days.

Be a ‘tool’ if you wish. I will stand on the Bible as truth.

Choose whatever life form you wish to ‘transform’ via ‘evolution’ No animal changes over time into something other than itself. Yet that is the claim. A common ancestor the ‘splits off’, continues to change, fish from non-fish, mammals from non-mammals, human from non-human. And dogs from non-dogs.

See, you just cannot resist the ridicule part of your argument. For me, “It is better to put trust in the Lord, than have confidence in man”.

What is it you hope to prove by showing photos of the variety of animals that are presnet? Besides showing an example of the creative perfection of the Lord. They do nothing to prove anything of the process you seem to have faith in.

Or what about this? Most likely extinct, but...
