Oh no, the DNA itself changes alright, but only the Designer can change it. May your double helix be touched by His Noodly Appendage.

“The “quote” had nothing to do with your argument. Therefore, strawman. You lose.”

Yeah right. I didn’t lose a thing.

Ad hominem (look it up) attacks on Christians is your motive, and it’s quite apparent.

Immature, bigoted posters like yourself have a tendency to flame out and get banned.

Bonus fortuna.

"Creationists don’t pretend to know exactly how God did it."

Then why are they so darned quick to say how He DIDN'T do it?

Because it is known that He could not have involved natural causes during the procedure. Nature is very dirty.

Interesting. Yet every show these days (about my whole lifetime) contiunues to tell us how exciting it is to see the birds outside our windows and know they really are dinosaurs. (They don’t seem to distinguish between birds and dinosaurs at all, which always seems a bit disingenuous to me.)

Good enough, thanks.

Were you damaged as a child or something?

I have nothing against Christians. I have a great deal against ignorant Luddites who insist on using junk science to prop up a fairytale.

Wake UP and check who you’re agruing with!

Cite the post where I used the term “rapidly”.

YOU specifically criticized me for citing the genetic process.
It’s not my fault you are incapable of staying on track.

Aside from that, the minor adaptations you cite, occur WITHIN a species, they do NOT add up to a NEW species!

You continue to bolster my argument that ad hominem attacks are your foundation.

Care to tell the owner of this website about the ‘Fairy Tale’ he believes in?

So you don't think that all terrestrial species that live upon this Earth descended from those that were taken upon the Ark? Do you suppose an example of EVERY species was taken on the Ark, or just primordial “kinds”? How did we get so many species from these “kinds” if there is no mechanism whereby a new species could form?

How do these “minor” adaptations arise? Are they not changes in DNA? Is not a change in the DNA within a population evolution by definition?

At least you have the “run to mommy” act down pat.

Can’t think for yourself?

And then we have ‘allmendream’ the low level lab technician/bottle washer that posts nothing but strawmen stuffed with faeces.

No wonder he’s such a malcontent!

I am the section head for a major pharmaceutical company, as such I design experiments, carry them out, and analyze the data.

Your grasp on reality is slipping e-s. No wonder you are a Geocentrist.

If you had any familiarity with God's word, you would know that he was good enough to tell us in numerous places that specifically no evolution happened.

He said plainly that all his creatures reproduced only after their own kind.

Certainly not intelligent enough to even understand what geocentricity even is, and constantly make a fool of yourself here by inventing nonsense that it clearly isn’t.

No wonder they keep you in the ‘head!’ (are you a P.L.O.?)

I know what geocentricity is, and I know that you say you are one. I do not need to know any more on the subject than that to know you are delusional.

It is obvious though that you have nothing but asinine and incorrect personal attacks to say about the post you responded to.

In that post I point out that it is Creationists who insist that evolution must take place at thousands of times the rate ever proposed by evolutionary biology such that every terrestrial species could arise from those primordial “kinds” that could fit within the known dimensions of the Ark a few thousand years ago. And yet somehow this explosion of variation stops at the “kind” level by some unexplained mechanism. While claiming all this Creationist all the while INSIST that variation arising within species, or species arising from other species is somehow simultaneously impossible.

That is the same sort of ludicrous position as insisting in a geocentric model.

You obviously know absolutely nothing about anything.

You prove that here daily.

I have plenty of familiarity with God's words in several languages. Perhaps you could share with us the actual etymology of the English phrase "their kinds". Maybe it isn't as plain as you claim.

The amazing thing that genetics study have been able to reveal is that in fact the new species which appear do in fact contain the DNA from both parents. The new species are very much “according to their kinds” and yet God has provided the mechanism for variation to occur on earth.

I was alive when Apollo 13 landed.

You can't even watch movies correctly! Apollo 11 was the first to land on the moon. Apollo 13 NEVER landed because of the explosion in the service module. Look at the Tom Hanks movie again. It is based on the true story. Were you even born in the 70s?
