I don't find that surprising since everything under the sun support evolution which mean it explains absolutely nothing. Of course evolutionist has to explain away why the fossil record doesn't support the theory.

Gould claim up with "punctuated equilibrium" try to come up for an excuse why the fossil record didn't Darwin's theory.
We know for a fact that the fossil record is incomplete... Darwin noted this in his book. We also know for a fact that evolution does not proceed in a steady fashion at a fixed rate. In many cases, punctuated equilibrium explains what we find in the fossil record, and the explanation makes perfect sense. What does creationism explain?

What does creationism explain?
In the beginning ... what was done, where it was done, Who did it, when He did it, how He did it, what order He did it in, how long it took Him to do it, why it took Him that long, and who the eyewitnesses were.

Those are very general questions. How about some of these:
Why are there unique species found no where else on isolated island chains?
Why doesn't the panda have an opposable thumb (like primates) to grasp, instead of a elongated hand bone?
Why is whale DNA more similar to cows than to seals?
Why do I have an appendix?
Why do I hiccup?
Why do I get goosebumps?
Why do some whales grow rear legs?
Why do birds have the ability to grow teeth?
Why are there so many extinct species?
etc., etc.

Why those all look like perfectly logical things that a loving creator would do just to fool everybody into believing in evolution. [emoji48]

Ah, but He didn't fool you guys, did He?

No, sir.

He didn't count on people wondering why we hiccup, did He?

No you haven't. Dolphins and bats shared genes that not doesn't fit the evolution myth.(not the result of common ancestry)

Yes, they do fit.

"Indeed, the same misplacement of dolphin is observed in the Prestin tree reconstructed with only nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions (Figure S1B); but, when only synonymous substitutions are used, dolphin and cow are correctly grouped with 100% bootstrap support (Figure S1C)."
http://cst.yale.edu/sites/default/f...ticle, current biology, west coast 2013_0.pdf

Mammals inherit DNA, not proteins. The predicted phylogenies are for DNA. When the DNA between these species is compared, it produces the expected tree. You only see deviations when comparing specific sections of proteins due to convergent evolution for the protein sequence. The real question for ID/creationists is why the designer would go to the trouble of change the DNA sequence to produce the expected phylogeny for proteins that share the same amino acids. Why?

Man was created directly by God who is ,as my TED video mention, a million times smarter than man.

Evidence?

Why would anyone look at that evidence and come to the conclusion that life was created 6,000 years ago by a deity?

Good question.

Why would anyone look at the evidence, when Paul warns that physical evidence can lead one astray?[VERSE=Colossians 2:8,KJV]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.[/VERSE]But they do it anyway, then end up making spaghetti out of Genesis 1 and asking us to sort it out while they ridicule.

Good question.

One you don't seem to have an answer to.

It looks like we are back to God the deceiver.
