I think that you are making a huge mistake in simply asking for evidence against the theory of evolution and not evidence for some alternative. Because what the alternative is, will greatly affect what happens.
quote:
The point of the book is that when the ToE goes away, all that is left is God.
Then you will have to have the evidence specifically point to God. Because if the evidence supports some other view THAT will be left.
quote:
what happens when a society that says it believes in God overall, but doesn't believe in things like The Great Flood, the creation story of Genesis, etc has to re-examine those stories?
It doesn't. Those things are already adequately contradicted by the evidence, simply getting rid of evolution will do nothing to make them viable.
quote:
So special creation will be the theory of the day after my hypothetical fossil(s) are discovered.
I think that you will need a huge rewrite of the fossil record for that to be an option.
quote:
I do not have an agenda to try and promote either theory. I really just want to see what might happen.
Then it is very odd that your post seems to suggest that the only possible alternative to evolution is Creationism (and it even looks as if you mean Young Earth Creationism, at that). Why not consider other - more scientifically plausible - options ?
