By all means let creation science be taught in schools. It should take all of about 10 minuets to teach it and then children can be allowed to make up their own minds in the face of the evidence. For children who study hard and keep an open mind it seems to me utterly inconceivable that they could conclude anything other than that evolution is true ~ Richard Dawkins

Which is the same mentality that most evos on this forum have.

It is simply beyond their comprehension that anyone would look at what they call the *preponderance of evidence* and decide that species to species evolution is not a fact and that variation within species has been grossly misinterpreted as macro-evolution.

And your mentality is the same that most creationuts on this forum have...that is, a total lack of any irrefutable, reproducible, peer-reviewable, independently-verifiable, scientific evidence of any so-called "intelligent design".

So, if you want to talk about preponderance of evidence, please feel free to present some first...

Microevolution is a term - when used by creationists - that is the evolutionary equivalent of the belief that the mechanism you use to walk from your bedroom to the kitchen is insufficient to get you from New York to Los Angeles.

Over the time frame from the late Hadean to the present, this becomes sufficient to explain both the diversity within and similarities between the forms of life observed on earth, including both living forms directly observed in the present, and extinct form indirectly observed from the fossil record.

I think the problem here is with the word species. Species is a MAN made label used for scientific classification.
A wolf and a domestic dog are both labeled as different species of the genus canis. However, they aren't different animals altogether. They are just variations of dogs. So is species to species (micro) evolution possible? Yes, a wolf can over time change into a domesticated dog. This is still consistent with reproducing after their own kind.

However, macroevolution is another problem altogether. A dog isn't going to change into a completely different kind of animal.

Just because people classify something as a different species doesn't make it a different animal. Humans are classified the same as apes all the way down to genus. This is a result of evolutionary indoctrination. All that classification does is group things that are similar together. Just because someone puts people in the same genus as an ape doesn't make us related either. IOW, taxonomy is a tool. However, we can't leave our senses behind when looking at the real world and say a wolf and a dog are different SPECIES so evolution is true. I hope this makes sense, I am sick today! LOL!
