You're asking a lot there. Here, just stare at this chart and chant to yourself "I want to believe, I want to believe..."

Predation Did Not Come from Evolution
by Daniel Criswell, Ph.D.*
Although the origin of predation is poorly understood, it is incorrect to attribute to young-earth creation the assertion that predatory animals quickly and recently evolved the physical features necessary for predation. It is a common fallacy that carnivores evolved from a change in form and function. No physical evolution was required to change herbivores to predators--it was merely a change in behavior.
The view that an alteration of genomes and phenotypes, such as sharp teeth and claws, would have been required to supply the physical features for predation from herbivorous features common in plant-eating animals is not correct. The shape of the teeth, the ability to run fast for short distances, and all the other physical attributes given to predators can be used for acquiring plant food sources as well. A few examples of mammal diets will verify this quite well...

Gee, I'm sorry. I missed the part where the majority of Western civilization believed in science until 300 years ago (and that's a stretch.)
Primitive people need to be made to understand a message in a primitive manner. Too much for you to understand?
Its someone who faithfully believes in the failed teachings of a dropout pseudo scientist named Darwin, then professes that we evolved from a soup of scum.
I’m a commie???
“But they can’t you see...they demand evidence but give nothing but “God did it”’
So... I’m waiting. Where’s the evidence? You guys slam what we believe but it seems your beliefs take more faith than creation. Put up or shut up.
At least we admit we take the word of God in faith. You can’t even admit your beliefs are your religion and not based on fact.
Jeez, who are you? Frank Burns?
Stop acting like a DU caricature of Christianity.
That’s funny...If I have to be a commie to understand science and expect my son to learn the same things...then I’m a commie.
Wow way to alienate.
If I didn't know any better, I would think that the Young Earthers were militant atheists who were out to make Christians look silly. The bottom line is, YEC is just something to give "scientific" cover to dispensationalism. Many but not all dispensationalists teach that God will destroy this earth 7,000 years after creation, there will be a millennial kingdom before that, so therefore the earth must be around 6,000 years old. So it is ultimately about a particular view of eschatology and all the talk about "science" is smoke and mirrors.
“Some people think you have to go to some middle eastern hellhole to find ignorant religious zealonts that preach their way or the highway.”
Instead, all you have to do is look at the religious evolutionists on freerepublic... go figure?
LOL!
A cracker.
Made you say it...LOL
Context, Chachi... context.
Of course an evolutionist wouldn’t look into it that deeply apparently or they might find what they believe to be ignorance.
No, you’re not Frank Burns. You’re Colonel Flagg.
You'd rather buy from communist China, because it's cheaper than American made products that might be (gasp!) union.
Is that a commie? Is our President? Who the heck knows anymore.
Bingo, to your bingo, I grew up on a farm and have helped many a new born animal into the wold and each time I always have the amazing experience of wonder at the new life. I don't need a cartoon story!!
Dude, I was just kidding. Did you see the face I placed at the end of my little quip? Lighten up, Francis!
Isn’t a Union a commie concept???
“I think Genesis is a simplistic myth “
And the rest of scripture, devout Catholic/ Devoted Christian???
Excuse me? There are numerous scientific papers that back up Evolution.
Prove to me that your GOD did it and we will talk. The onus is on you to prove that...I don’t need to prove anything.
A belief is not science and stop trying to push that in my sons science class.
He gets GOD in Sunday school and science in class...stop trying to mix the two.
