Mutations occur for all sorts of natural reasons. If they work, over time, they can become part of the genetic makeup of a species. If you want to call a mutation "God", OK, but science won't have anything to say about that....only that it occurs, and it helps stir adaptation and evolution. How can a man have evolved from a single cell organism? Um, isn't that just simple science? How does an oak tree grow from a single acorn? Evolution DOES answer the question that those things occur, they are true, the exist, they happen. Science is telling you the WHAT, and you are discounting it because you cannot reconcile the WHY. > Evolution doesn't seek to explain that. > > Then what does it seek to explain?

Then allow me to the be the first....a staunch evolutionist who believes God created life. I won't use evolution to refute your belief in a creator. If, however, you posit as proof of a creator that the world is, say, only 10,000 years old...then yes, I can easily refute that with simple scientific evidence. Your conclusion might not be invalid (There is a God), but that particular argument might be completely bogus. You want Evidence that supports creationism, it is very simple really. We > are here.

Science hasn't gotten me something from nothing yet....till then, that's my God. -- I knew the moment had arrived, for killing the past and coming back to life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
