Often, natural selection is brought into the evolution vs intelligent design discussion with no real understanding of why. If natural selection is the key driving point to the "theory" of evolution, it would simply result in the strongest or most suited individuals of one TYPE of creature passing their genes to the next generation. What results is more of the same TYPE of creature. How does natural selection turn a fish into a frog? Here's another bit of food for thought: how do you account for the "unlucky" chaps that just happen to fall prey to predition even though they may be the best suited of the bunch? What I'm asking is, Is it possible for the fastest, strongest, most dominant, and most superior specimen of any given animal to get eaten, ill, struck by a freak lightning bolt, run over by a car, knocked off a high place and dashed upon jagged rocks? How do THESE occurances turn a fish to a frog, lizard to a dog, or cow to a whale?
Another idea brough to bear is mutation. Please, someone show me how mutations bring about new types of creatures and not just variation within a species. Creationism does not deny or even contend against the idea of variation within a species. What we, the kooky, Bible-thumping, religious zealot Creationists want to know is: when (where's the proof) does mutation (which BTW are more often than not, neutral or detrimental to the individual) turn one type of creature into a different creature? The only thing proven by mutations is that the second law of thermodynamics is true. It states (I'm paraphrasing) that all matter, over time, goes from an ordered state into a progressively more disorderly state. In a word, atrophy!
The genetic code DNA within any give species is fixed. It has not been proven that this in any way, changes.
Someone earlier (seesaw), mentioned that there are many proofs of evolution. I'd like that same individual to answer just this one question with real, qualifiable, quantifiable, undeniable, recreatable, and scientific PROOF!
Before we get to the question, let me kill one of your most likely, and unfortunately, already proven false replies: archeopterix.
Here's the question...When, where, why and how did: Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes,reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)
I look forward to you providing the evidence that hundreds of University-trained, published, and highly acclaimed evolutionists have as of yet been unable to provide.
