ID 'tards are an embarrassment to conservatism. They fit every stereotype the left paints of uneducated mouth-breathers.

While, ironically enough, Rev. Jesse Jackson is a creationist and gets a free pass from the media. I believe Rev. Al Sharpton is a creationist too, (he is a Pentecostal preacher), but I couldn't find any references on-line. There are a lot of creationists in the Dhimmie party: rather conservative, church going blacks.

But the light from those stars we capture and study is direct evidence. Observable, repeatable, quantifiable and thus theory's can be extrapolated and put forth to the world community to apply scientific process and put those theory's to the test.

The evidence alone separates it from faith.
And in my opinion the scientific process is the best tool humanity has in "knowing" and explaining about our world and everything around us and it. yes there are still mysteries. Faith and science both seek similar goals at times, to solve those mysteries.
But you must have faith to believe in any of earths thousands of current religions.

Theology and philosophy is a different study then science.
And rightly so. If someone finds faith through science good for them. If someone finds no evidence of the supernatural in all our scientific endeavors good for them too. It is a personal choice in the end. Both sides would serve them well to be more respective of the other, and most certinaly do I believe. I think it is a small number from both sides the stir the pot.

Whatever they are, you have a host of closely related animals ranging from zebras to quarter horses, and they can, to a degree, interbreed ~ but rarely do they have fertile offspring.

I would imagine early herdsmen attempted to interbreed every variety of goat to every variety of cow, or deer, or whathaveyou "just to see what happens".

Today, with modern science at our command, we will succeed in creating a kosher pig.

Sure it does ~ that's why they are a vanishing group. Due to their unwillingness to treat their women right and give them many sons, they will wither away and hide in corners.

It is a scientific field.

It's propaganda.

Evolution is a scientific field. Your misrepresentations will not change that.

Yes, your brain has sortation and filing capabilities so it does tend to categorize critters even if they're not different.

100 years from now 100 years from now, science will have progressed to such a point that gene therapy will provide cures to many forms of mysticism. (Imagine 1b muzzy savages becoming agnostics - LOL.) The chemical mechanisms that create such capabilities will most likely be redirected to entertainment & other forms of mental stimulation.

An excellent goal, imo. BTW, Marxists have a tenacious hold on irrationality almost equal to that of a Darwinist

Why do you think the article you linked to does not describe a transitional?

"Darwinism" teaches nothing of the sort. Evolution is an explanation of, to be brief, how we got here. It describes a theorized mechanism, one which is perfectly compatible with Christianity.

Let's see what Jesus Christ of "Christianity" said:

Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

This should impact the discussion.

Just in case someone wants to attribute this comment to "allegory" here is the supporting Scripture:

Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Gen 5:1 This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

Deu 4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth,

Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

New Testament references to Adam.

Luk 3:38 Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth, which was [the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God.

1Cr 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

Acts 17:26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

Other pertinent scriptures:

Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

Isa 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.

Isa 40:21-22
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

There are stories of this happening in the wild though. Then there's Ted, the rejected chimpanzee who had 47 chromosomes ~ somebody was doing some "testing" of the hypothesis with that little fellow.
