Hi, all...
Before we get started on this newer forum, I would like to state my beliefs and presuppositions as to allow yourselves to fully understand where I am coming from.
* I am a devout Christian who believes the Bible to be 100% accurate
* I believe in micro- but not macro- evolution
* I am interested in recieving information which might serve to either prove or disprove evolution on the topic being presented.
---Now that that's all over, to the question. I understand that there are several other strands and forums discussing relatively the same topic, however, upon review of such forums, have become frustrated due to the elusions of the persons involved to procure any substantial evidence beyond that which they heard from somebody who was quoting someone else at the time. I understand that at times generalizations of such topics are required, but come on people!! Present at least a few decent facts or links to factual, studied evidence before pouring out your heart into an area you haven't even taken to research for yourself...
Anyways, I present this question to any interested in reading and replying to my forum... If, as "assumed" by evolutionary scientists, the world is some billion years old and we, as non-designated species are in constant transition, with projected THOUSANDS of stages within our develpement, with a fossil record beyond belief to "supposedly" support such and ideal, are we unable, or incapable of presenting ANY SIGNIFICANT finds which would SCIENTIFICALLY prove that belief? And even if we do have a few scraps, why, if we are in constant transition, including the staggering collection of fossils stated earlier, are there so few in contrast? Shouldn't there be THOUSANDS of such fossils, just, if not better preserved than their respective ancestors and decendants?
-I am avidly awaiting responses from ANY view-points, not simply limited to a biased view of either solely evolutionist or creationist (although stating your position in the beginning would be deeply helpful in allowing a more informed interpretation of what you might state).
Thanks again,
Michah

I can release this if you can remove the portions that don't directly address your topic. That would be the parts requesting good-faith debate and to stay on topic. These are moderator responsibilities. Members do not moderate their own threads.
