>Well, back in post 146 you said: It would be better if someone could prove it possible.... I knew that evidence of that actually happening wouldn't impress you.

I am impressed. Just not convinced. I realize that the whole issue of defining just what a new species would be is a very elusive task in itself, and so my challenge was, in a way, unfair.

I will certainly continue to consider every human equal, and believe this to be so. Evolutionists should not, and should hope to be in a superior race, else for the survival of the fittest should remove themselves. Evolutionists should also applaud any extinction as progress.

I also understand only slightly how amazingly animals are fit to flourish and even adapt through natural selection of traits already inherent.

In support of creation... I cite hybrid vigor to show that earlier gene pools had greater variation as well as more favorable phenotypes available for adaptation than pedigreed descendants.

If you're impressed now, just wait another 10 or 20 years. This technology is very new.

What in the world are you talking about?

Yes. And also through natural selection of any valuable mutations that may come along.

I don't think this is accurate. Early gene pools had much less material than at present. Otherwise we wouldn't have the abundance of species that now populate the world. Although it's true that an isolated group can suffer from inbreeding. This is not, however, any evidence of creationism. Rather, if creationism were a fact, every species would be perfectly vigorous, having been created by an infinitely wise deity.
