Before we get too deep into this discussion, I need to know if you believe in a New Earth or Old Earth - if you believe in a New Earth, then there is not much room for discussion. Do you believe that everything was created exactly as it is in 7 days within the last 10-100,000 years? If so, how do you explain the various forms of finding the age of items (fossils, rocks, etc) using radio-active half-life?

There are several links on transitional fossils in the Evolution section at the bottom of this thread: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/...m/841006407831

Here are a couple of examples which i believe proves the drastic changes which have lead to braching of new species.
Pelvis girdle in whales when they have no use and no legs - Obviously left from when they were land mammals
The appendix in the human - Left from when we were more herbivorous
Wings on ostriches and other birds - they must have been able to fly at some point in history
Why would such a perfect and divine creator place useless part on animals. Common people.

good answer. Maybe he gets a kick out of us trying to figure out if evolution is true so he throws in few curve balls like fingers in a whale.
No, but seriously, evolution is the final answer.

All humans probably have a common human ansistor too, but that doesn't prove or disprove the theory of evolution. Human life probably started somewhere in Africa and spread around the globe from there. Same thing happened to those octopuses. Now, if scientists could some how PROVE that the original octopuse evolved from something else, then that would be an earth-shattering story.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I detect that AIA is evolving. She's obviously well educated and thoughtful, if a little too harsh for my taste, but she's learned too hold back on the anger a bit, and seldom rises to the trolls any more. A worthy opponent is emerging.
