Calm down. Getting angry and abusive won't make you more believable.
Nearly so. The observation of speciation has led to the acknowledgement of YEC groups that speciation is a fact:

Perhaps you don't know that Dawkins finally admitted that he can't disprove God. He became officially an agnostic.
Happens to a lot of young people when they discover that the creationist stories can't be true. If they have been taught that YEC is an essential part of Christian belief, they can lose their faith. This is the real damage that YEC does to God's church.
Oh my goodness. Richard Dawkins is agnostic now. Geez.
Yep. What we used to call a "fundy atheist." In his own way as bullheaded and ideologically-bound as any YEC.
I don't hate him. But I don't give him much respect as to telelogical issues.
For the reason you just made clear, he made it very difficult for many Christians to accept large parts of God's creation.
Richard Dawkins is no longer an atheist.
God doesn't have a nose or feet or earlobes. Jesus says that God is a spirit and He says a spirit has no body.
Early humans were a lot different than anatomically modern humans. Mostly in the skull, but also in other details. Would you like to learn about that?
I've seen way too much evidence to abandon reason for unorthodox YEC. Again, you've confused biological evolution, which we see happening constantly, with universal common descent, which is a conclusion from genetics.
Actually, they know the very individual it came from. You see, a polyploidy speciation happens in one generation.
One has twice the number of chromosomes of the species from which it came. That seems like a pretty substantial difference to me. But in the first individual of the new species, they were just two copies of the same chromosomes as the original species.
By definition. A transitional organism has the apomorphic features of two different groups. Would you like to review why Lucy is transitional between Homo and other apes?
You still haven't shown which of the four points of Darwinian theory have been shown to be false. Would you be able to do that, now?
Well, let's take a look...
Darwin was a Christian when he wrote his book. I took my first course in evolution from a Christian who was on his local vestry board. C'mon.
Seems unlikely that Christians want to pull people away from God.
Darwin's great discovery was that it isn't random. Do you see a pattern here? Much of what you don't like about evolutionary theory isn't even part of evolutionary theory.
Yes. The issue is that YECs don't approve of the way He did it.
And that is something creationists and evolutionists can agree on. Well said.
We were warned my friend . Not to be led astray with science falsely so called .
God doesn't have a nose or feet or earlobes. Jesus says that God is a spirit and He says a spirit has no body.
That's why it was necessary for God to incarnate our Savior by a woman. The image is in our minds and souls.

Well, let's take a look...
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.
Charles Darwin, last sentence of On the Origin of Species
I accept the evidence for a common ancestor of all living things on Earth, because genetics evidence shows this to be true. But not because Darwin said there could have been any number of original created organisms.

Exactly me friend.
That's your engineering, not evolutionary theory. Have you decided which of the four point of Darwinian theory have been refuted? Let us know when you think you have it.This is your theory.
Built on unfounded principles, assumptions and speculation
You seem to know more about him than I do. I'm just pointing out, as most Christian denominations do, that evolution is consistent with God's creation. It's no coincidence that both YECs and atheists seem to spend a lot of time trying to prove God is inconsistent with evolution.
If you considered God's creation to be Satan's lies, isn't that a clue for you?
Well, let's see what Darwin said in his book...
I'm just quoting what he wrote in his book. His expressed belief was that God could have created any number of original living things.
Actually, he wrote:
| "Therefore I should infer from analogy that probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form, into which life was first breathed by the Creator" P. 484 |
My God merely said that the Earth brought forth living things. He apparently didn't think it important to tell us how. Check Genesis; it's worth a look.
Sometimes, it's better to be careful about such things. You aren't the first person to be taken in by another's dishonesty. You trusted people who took advantage of that trust. Be more discerning.
Learn from this, and try to do better.
It's O.K. to be upset. As you learned, the excuses you've found are no more than someone's attempt to convert God's word to something acceptable to them. But they are still just man's revision of God's word that you have accepted.
It's a hard lesson to learn that people will sometimes lie to you. But as you have seen, people will edit the words of others to make it seem that they meant what they did not.
