Re: Macroevolution in my life
A typical hermit crab and a king crab are by no defintion the same 'kind'
Nice post but Faith will just hand wave it away. She's never been able to define "kind" and so will claim that you're wrong, that king and hermit crabs are the same "kind" (I imagine her logic will be along the lines of: They're both called crabs, how different can they be?) and that what you said was "macroevolution" was really "microevolution".

Re: When did it happen.
Why shouldn't there be similarities to the design characteristics of the animals on the taxonomic tree quite apart from any notion of descent?
Why should there be? Is this "God" fellow so limited that he has to copy parts of organisms and reuse them in others? Is he unable to create completely unique creatures?

"God" the slacker
And the variety is hardly lacking. Look around.
If there is so much variety then why do dogs, cats, humans and chimps (and all the other mammals) all have a four chambered heart? Why don't dog hearts have 3 chambers, cats 5, humans 16 and chimps 230? Why are design elements repeated throughout the various organisms?

Because he's rational and not an idiot
It sure looks like he lacks imagination and is a bit lazy, after all this supposedly all-powerful being created everything and then took a day off.
