Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Leave it to AIG to redefine what evolution is. "Natural selection is not evolution and evolution is not a change in gene frequency in a population" (paraphrased). A typical creationist way of winning an argument... redefine all the terms to your liking. Oh by the way, natural selection works on populations, not species (so much for the button analogy).

Yes, actually I do, and I am amazed that I ever bought into it (go figure, I was young and gullible)  |

Well it really doesn't look like you really understand what "evolution" is.

We don't need to believe anything. If you know so much about evolution why don't you act like it?
