Is this satire? You have the Evolution did it group and the God did it group. Either way it is case closed and end of discussion?

No, it is because the genetic material of a tadpole is identical to the frog it grows to be. Just as the DNA of a baby is the same as that of the adult it grows into, or caterpillar/butterfly, take your pick.
Evolution is any change across successive generations in the inherited characteristics of biological populations.
Development is the series of changes which organisms undergo in their passage from the embryonic state to maturity.
P.S. I seriously cannot believe I am having this discussion with someone that is trying to debate evolution versus creationism.

Do you honestly believe he's trying to "debate"? People like this are either trying to convince themselves, or others. This guy isn't "debating"; he just needs to feel like he's right.

Oh, I agree, I might have expressed myself wrong. I do think he is trying to feel like he is "right", and I even admit I might be doing the same. The difference (and what I don't understand) is that I actually read the other side of the story before I try to enter in an argument so I can properly provide answers, but he seems to have absolutely no clue of what evolution is. The theological equivalent of saying that a tadpole transforming into a frog is evolution would be saying that Eve was created before Adam, and that Moses was their father.

Yes. I was lightheartedly poking fun at AV's catchphrase, "The Bible says it, that settles it", or something to that effect.

Why indeed. However, our fused chromosome is not the sole genetic difference between us and the great apes. I'm not sure what, if anything this fusion did to human phylogeny, but there is evidence that human intelligence is related to that particular chromosome. Coincidence? Serendipity? Who knows...

Must be a layman's theory, yeah, 'cause I'm not a full-on scientist 'cause I don't get paid to be one. Darwin was a layman, wasn't he? Wasn't he trained to be a pastor, but couldn't get a job so he set sail on a ship using his Daddy's money?

I've heard rumors that Mr. Darwin wasn't saved, but that he got saved on his deathbed.
Wouldn't that be nice if you and I saw Mr. Darwin in Heaven?

You could go now; Why wait, after all you are going there anyway!
God doesn't want me there yet. I think He's putting off, perhaps to the last minute.
Also, he wants me to tell people about Jesus and stuff. But actually, he's never asked me to refute evolution theories.
So world, you're stuck with me! For now.
