Why couldn't God, whom I believe created all life and sent His Son to be a sacrifice for human sin, have had His hand in the development of these animals' "armor, wings, poison glands, or whatever" over a long period of time?

Once you bring God into it, anything is possible -- even evolution. I just don't think it's likely much less beyond criticism.

And God made fossils to help us find oil deposits.

No, God didn't design the human eye. It evolved. No Almighty God would have been so stupid as to come up with this design.

Why are you so compelled to be blindly ignorant of the fact of evolution?

Thank you for your reply. It was well said and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I just find that both sides of the argument have supporters that can be a bit overzealous in their defense of their positions. Whenever I find someone who gets so emotional about an issue, I wonder what exactly their motivation is.

It is also "God created man in His own image and man returns the favor."

When did I ever say I disagreed with evolution?

militant? What have I ever said in this thread to earn the militant status? Just because I'm not falling for the evoultion hoax does not mean I am ignorant. Darwin came up with a theory and the scientific community has spent the last 150 years gleaning information in a bias attempt to support it. Maybe those who fall for hoaxes are merely open-minded and not dupes.

The Bible doesn't say how old the Earth is. That was a miscalculation by Bishop Ussher.

My point was that the church told us the earth is 6000 years old for 1500 years, then once science proves them wrong, they start trying to show how the bible actually says the earth is billions of years old. I'm just showing how ridiculous after the fact predictions are.

Well if you agree, why are you nitpicking about links?

Anyway, I can't stand people who don't make their position clear and then debate anyway.

But since you seem to be a Navy vet, I forgive you.

I know. Your point is wrong. Bishop Ussher's estimate was only accepted by certain sects and then became really popular about 100 years ago when the fundamentalists dreamed up this nonsense against evolution.

How about some facts refuting evolution instead of petulant scoffing?

It's not a matter of me refuting it, it's a matter of you supporting it.

Now do you believe that all life came from a single cell?

Probably. It might have come from two cells or more. I don't know.

It IS a matter of you refuting it. Science accepts evolution as fact (as close as science comes, since science is always ready to drop something if refuted).

Creationists have no evidence to support their positions. All they do is create strawman arguments and baffle rubes with Bravo Sierra.

"Darwin came up with a theory and the scientific community has spent the last 150 years gleaning information in a bias attempt to support it. "

LOL Yeah, it is much better to go a 150 years and develop no evidence to support creationism in a biased attempt to support silly nonsense and Bible misinterpretation.

Separate cells or a multi-celled creature?

I repeatedly asked because I never recieved an answer. Since your answer is that the wolf and dog are 2 seperate species, are you implying that mankind created a new species of animal? Oh, I'm 49 going on 12.

I never said I agree with evolution either. I'm nitpicking about links because I thought the guy should get off his high horse. Too bad you can't stand me. I am a ten year Submarine Vet. I haven't sought your forgiveness, nor do I think I need it. It is the overzealousness on both sides that I question, including your own.

Yeah I mispelled monkeys. Does that bother you enough call me illiterate? Did I spell that right, teacher? I wouldn't call you a name unless we were face to face so you could demand satisfaction, doubt that would though.
