Keep it coming lol. I totally misinterpreted the question about the sun and the earth. I thought he was asking about it from what science tells us, not a biblical perspective.

Really. You made the claim, you should be able to defend it.
What is your evidence that it is an illness?

Can you send me a vid of a species evolving, like actual proof? I need to see a species evolve right in front of me.

We common people* still speak in geocentric terms, when we say things like, "The sun will come up," or, "The sun will go down."
I'm sure Internet scientists use the same terminology with their families as well.
When a person says the earth rotates, he is speaking from the perspective of an observer outside of the earth, looking at it; but when a person speaks of the sun coming up or going down, he is speaking as an observer on the earth, looking outward at the sun.
* Mark 12:37b And the common people heard him gladly.

Don't tadpoles evolve into frogs, and caterpillars evolve into butterflies?

What else will you only believe if you see a video of it happening right in front of you? Your mother was born, one day some years ago, but you most certainly weren't there and I'm guessing you don't have a video of it. By the exact same logic you don't believe your own mother was born, despite evidence to the contrary (your existence).

Okay, then ... don't a whole species of caterpillars evolve into a whole species of butterflies?

You can't see a species evolving in front of you. The ones that evolve quickly enough live on a microscopic level and you are not educated enough to appreciate the changes they go through when they evolve.
You can look at the record of evolution. The fossil record is like a very jump incomplete record of the life on Earth. Especially for land based life there will be gaps in the record. When you look closely at the record you will see that it supports the theory of evolution gaps and all and does not support creationism.

You could always ask someone like Dr. Richard Lenski if they're looking for more grad students.

"to say, therefore, that the theory of evolution is scientific is to deprive the word scientific of its meaning, for scientific knowledge has to do with observation and experiment. So-called knowledge of a thing like evolution comes neither by observation or experiment and therefore can not be called scientific. Anyone who is not a fool should know this"

You should specify who you're quoting. It sounds like another person ignorant of science.

The genetic data is even more compelling - but that requires the effort of acquiring knowledge. Most creationists are too lazy to acquire the necessary grounding in biology.
