But still there are no Precambrian rabbits. Why would God create an earth that abounds with evidence of evolution over billions of years and it not be true? Just playing a dirty trick perhaps.

Evolution runs on so many gaps (missing links), you could drive a universe through it.

Could you provide a specific example of a scientific fact that YEC's feel threatened by?
So, believing in the wind constitutes faith?Hebrews 11:1 teaches that faith is not believing without evidence but believing without seeing.
Cabvet,

And why does this threaten science? It's something we freely admit - modern scientific knowledge can always be refined and improved upon.
Unsupported absurd claims by people outside of whatever professional expertise they may have about science is not a threat to science. It is a threat to the credibility of all Christianity by association. I think it is really sad that there is are few organizations and groups of people who seem to take pride in deliberately misrepresenting many different fields of science for their own personal satisfaction and gain. They have strayed far from the path that Jesus put us on.
Tell me why do they survive and thrive?
Are you saying the general American are stupid enough so they are not seeing what you see?
The God of the gaps argument might be old, but you gotta admit; many religious people still seem to use it.

So, believing in the wind constitutes faith?
Nice argument from silence!!!! Isnt that like God of the Gaps?
Where, exactly?
Throughout!! From the universe's very existence along with all it laws, the goldilocks enigma of our planet, the improbablity of complex life forms, symbiotic relationships, ecosystems of earth and how life sculpts its environment and the environment takes care of the life, the organs within life forms, the preservation of the genomes, the list goes on.
No, it is a shortcut way of pointing out that no contradictory evidence to the theory of evolution has been found.
How does that proclaim God's existence? You're not making a 'god of the gaps' argument, surely?Throughout!! From the universe's very existence
How do they proclaim God's existence?along with all it laws,
What enigma? There are billions of galaxies with billions of stars, and a good percentage of those have Earth-like planets. Odds are, in all the universe, at least one such planet has the conditions necessary for life to develop.the goldilocks enigma of our planet,
What improbability? Can you walk me through the mathematical derivation of this conclusion? Don't be afraid, I can handle the mathsthe improbablity of complex life forms,
How do they proclaim God's existence?symbiotic relationships,
How do they proclaim God's existence?ecosystems of earth and how life sculpts its environment and the environment takes care of the life,
How do they proclaim God's existence?the organs within life forms,
What preservation? Mutations by definition disprove that notion.the preservation of the genomes,
Perhaps, but I'm at a loss as to how any of these phenomena proclaim God's existence, and I'm dubious some of them are even real.the list goes on.
How are any of these things evidence against evolution? Stasis and living fossils don't contradict evolutionary theory, they simply show that not all species are constantly changing their phylogeny - if there's no selection pressures, then there's not going to be much morphological change. Evolution doesn't require change in any and all circumstances, indeed, it demands stasis if that is the most effective thing to do.Except for...abiogenesis...stasis in fossil record...living fossils...and what else?
Arguments from ignorance. What is your point?Except for...abiogenesis...stasis in fossil record...living fossils...and what else?
Arguments from ignorance. What is your point?
There are periods of very slow evolution and rapid evolution. Evolution is usually the result of a changing environment. If an environment does not change there is no much pressure to evolve.
"Living fossils" are different from older examples.
From what I gather, radiometric dating methods are inconclusive.
Your example about the wind provides a good analogy.
