Will you concede that domestic animals evolve through selective breeding? A poodle never existed in nature. It was bred into existence by people. Why is it such a stretch of the imagination to suppose that such a thing can happen randomly in nature?
What I belive is that God gave the canine all the genes to make the diffrent breeds, it was by selective breeding that we were able to bring out the breed of the poodle. How does breeding explain evolution though?
"Why is it such a stretch of the imagination to suppose that such a thing can happen randomly in nature?"
While animals such as the poodle could evolve randomly, you have to admit that while wildly different from your average mutt, the poodle is not a different species from that mutt. To prove evolution, you must show evidence of an entirely new species being created by natural selection.

You can listen every day to their radio broadcasts on creation and intelligent design. I've always loved their short spots on the radio.
Variation is observed. Evolution is not. It is a leap of faith to say that because variation happens, evolution happens. You may as well say that because Chevys have different models, they must have trains and planes too.
