your statement:

"Evolution theory also requires that the species improve, or add characteristics."

this is false. The theory of evolution does not *require* that species *improve* OR *add* characteristics.

The theory of evolution explains how some species, through mutation and selection, become better adapted to their changing environments as well as how other species, through mutation and selection, become MALADAPTED to their changing environments.
The theory of evolution explains how some species, through mutation and selection, add characteristics as well as how other species, through mutation and selection, LOSE chartacteristics.

for more detail, I now turn you over to Ichneumon's care.

OK, SOME are theorized to do this or that.

Again, there has never been found any fossil evidence to support this theory, and there never will be, because dinosaurs were always dinosaurs which died off and became extinct. Birds were always birds and still are birds. Apes were always apes and still are apes, and man was and is still man.
This is all supported by fossil evidence, while evolution is not.

Think carefully now, How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? And what evidence is there of this? (none!)

Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occ urred if evolution were true?

When, where, why, and how did:
* Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two and three-celled intermediates?)
* Single-celled animals evolve?
* Fish change to amphibians?
* Amphibians change to reptiles?
* Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)
* How did the intermediate forms live?
Which evolved first (how, and how long; did it work without the others)?
* The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?

* The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
* The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
* DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
* The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
* The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
* The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?

* The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?

* The immune system or the need for it?
How would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?

When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would never evolve in the theory of evolution.

*How did photosynthesis evolve?

*How did thought evolve?


*How did flowering plants evolve, and from that?

After you have answered the preceding questions, please look carefully at your answers and thoughtfully consider the following questions.

1. Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scientifically provable, or do you just believe that it may have happened the way you have answered? (Do these answers reflect your religion or your science?)

2. Do your answers show more or less faith than the person who says, "God must have designed it"?

Look at the word itself: 'e' means out of. 'volve' means turn. Evolve means turn out, as in bread dough during kneading. It's the same bread dough all the time, just fresh surfaces being exposed. All that was already in there. For what it's worth.
