Avoiding the question
from Message 66

Thanks. I will answer your question as soon as I can
So I take it that we're still waiting for you to be able to answer the question? This doesn't come close.
quote:
The evolution of a large dog to a small dog is certainly change of a kind.
What, exactly is a kind? If you're going to use the term, please define it. How can we tell what two creatures are part of the same kind?
quote:
We dont observe life arising from non-life, evolving into multicellular life, evolving into fish, evolving into amphibians, evolving into reptiles, evolving into birds, evolving into mammals, evolving into humans. Nor will ever.
We don't observe wolves evolving into chihuahuas either but you believe it. Why? What's the difference? I'll bet you've never seen dachshunds evolve into greyhounds. Irrefutable evidence that selective breeding is an atheist plot, perhaps?
I'll bet you've ignored this before but the real fact of the matter is that we have evidence that supports that ...
modern fishes share a common ancestor with modern amphibians - they are all gnathostomes as they all have jaws in their skulls
modern amphibians share a common ancestor with reptile, birds and mammals - they are all tetrapods with four limbs
modern reptiles, birds and mammals all share a common ancestor - they are all amniotes which develop membranes around their embryos and thus bypass a larval stage
modern humans are just part of mammalia with all of the features which define the class.
It all fits the evidence and in a very real sense, we can see it just by looking most of the time. This is why you don't see furry lizards.

It's really just about recognising the patterns.

Ignorance is a Tragedy
Willful Ignorance is a Sin
