I have no idea where you get this.
Anyone who has taken a biology course knows that you are not using the definition of evolution that they learned in college.
Google the term. Evolution is change in the gene pool of a population over time. That includes bacteria becoming more resistant to drugs, weeds to weed-killers, etc.
Evolve:
Biology . to develop by a process of evolution to a different adaptive state or condition: The human species evolved from an ancestor that was probably arboreal.
In your world, humans ‘evolved’ from that which was not human. Whales ‘evolved’ from that which was not a whale.
In mine, there is adaptation - Dogs can change form (breeds) yet are STILL dogs. We were created, and can adapt, not evolve into something different.
And perhaps, since ‘evolution’ is not a truth, but a theory, reading Genesis may help you.
Genesis 1:20
“And God said, Let the waters move and bring forth the moving creature that hath life”
I think most Evolutionary Biologists would agree with that statement.
Nice cherry picking, lets look further.... shall we?
Genesis1:
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness
Notice it says thathe created (CREATED) each beast, after its kind. NOT that He cretaed something and said to reproduce into other kinds. And to top it off, He created man in His own image, not from a lemur.
“What ever happened to swine flu?”
It put me out of commission for a solid week. Sick as a dog.
Full recovery, I hope. When were you sick?
It was last year. I think summer; I can’t remember.
“Evolution is a change in form.”
That’s not the definition, actually.
(And no, I have no interest in a evolution debate.)
Only if you agree that the theory of evolution that claims all life on earth evolved from the very first single-celled form of life. If you don't, then my comment still stands. Call me when the bacteria turns into a cat or something.
I should have said, "Only if you DISagree with the theory of evolution that claims all life on earth evolved from the very first single-celled form of life."
