Only problem is all the evidence points to Creationism as the better explanation. Not evolution. OEC covers the last 4.5 billion years, GAP covers the last 12982 years and YEC covers the last 5982 years. YEC does not explain GAP and GAP does not explain OEC. YEC is more of a history book then anything else. But YEC is very much common ancestor and decent from a common ancestor. The very foundation of evolutionary science. It's the modification part that is up for discussion. Esp when you look at something like the Cambrian radiation or explosion, where there is no modification. Between when the fossils first appear and when they go extinct, there is no change, they remain the same. 98% of the fossil record has come and gone with no modification and no change. Only the normal variation that we see in all species as they adapt or fine tune themselves with their biodiversity ecosystem.
Oh, Christians believe in modification as a result of the fallen condition that creation is in. When there is a new heaven and a new earth, there will be no more war and the species will not longer fight or consume each other.
having a hard time seeing the forest for the trees are we?
I could drop a logging truck worth of them on you, and you'd still deny it....how many times have even you yourself, conflated historical and operational evolution? (Hint: historical and operational are not remotely the same thing).CabVet said:How about you show me a tree? A single one? All I want is one example of a person, here or anywhere else, changing their definition of evolution during the course of a discussion.

You gave me a page talking about adaptation...did you even read their first argument? It stated that e-coli grown at 47c was better than the parent sample, and that grown at 32c was better than the parent sample, but that grown at 37c was basically the same as the parent sample...all this proves is that e-coli likes certain conditions for growth!
In fact it inadvertently proves that it may well have been designed that way.

You just failed to provide the name of a single person that changed the definition of evolution, three times in a row. I'll conclude from this that you are incapable of providing one.I could drop a logging truck worth of them on you, and you'd still deny it....how many times have even you yourself, conflated historical and operational evolution?

Yes, it would! Like I said, can't see the forest for the trees. Operational evolution is what we can see, test, demonstrate, and falsify. Historical (what you use to say everything came from a single cell) is untestable, undemonstrable, and cannot be falsified! Conflating the two is in fact changing your definition of evolution!
Nope, just the opposite. Don't worry, you will catch up to me in about 20 years. Maybe by then you will be 12 feet tall. I just have a kind of vision sometimes I can see where this is all going.Unless you're just that ignorant, which wouldn't surprise me.

We can add this post to the list of creationist lies as well.
Historical evolution is testable, demonstrable, and can be falsified:
