Just by reciting a dictionary has not demonstrated you even understand scientific theories, let alone evolution. You are doing what many creationist-types are guilty of. Deliberately misleading people as to what a scientific theory is by twisting it into what a lay person would see.

And the way you obtained evidence of how inextensive my investigation of the subject is ... ?

I have done much more than read the dictionary on this. I have studied the topic, including some of Darwin's own works. If you are willing to do the research on a different POV, I recommend Tornado in a Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism, by James Perloff He makes his argument using science and quotes many other scientific sources.

For all who come after this post and would take shots at my purported idiocy, I want to state that living things in the world do mutate or evolve. That doesn't explain the origin of life.

I have other things to do today and had no idea my post would stir up so much vitriol and personal attack, which I'm not interested in responding to, so some people's posts to me on this thread may go unanswered.

Now I am going to write something that will really stir some people's hornets' nests. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. God created life on Earth in a perfect form: as He is, so once was His creation. Man sinned, corruption and death entered into the world. Things got broken -- such as the land in earthquakes and floods -- and defective genes -- mutations -- became commonplace. God had the answer to bring all creation back to perfection, back to full relationship with Himself. That answer is Jesus Christ and all who believe in Him as Savior will inherit eternal life and receive the joy of knowing Him on this earth. All who don't, suffer the consequences now and ever after. Therefore, choose life, that you and your descendants may live.

I like this crevo-Threads. Especially then people try to avoid to answer the last question.

Switch to another topic:
"I have studied the topic, including some of Darwin's own works. "GretchenM

and finally the try to stir some hornets: "Things got broken -- such as the land in earthquakes and floods -- and defective genes -- mutations -- became commonplace. God had the answer to bring all creation back to perfection, back to full relationship with Himself."GretchenM


Well, that are your believes GretchenM. But should this taught in a science class? What can you derive of ID except that ODIN exists? Please, mind the gaps! It's not scientific to say "RA is the answer" instead of saying "Well, at the monument we have really no idea why that happened but will search for an answer."
