Creationist have to tell untruths about scientific findings. Re: seven "assumptions"
Creationists have to tell untruths about scientific findings. That's all they have. CRR, the first forms of life as we know life were prokaryotes.

Re: seven "assumptions"
I love it when creationists quote-mine Gould. I'll do it, too:
​
Stephen Jay Gould writes:
​
Since we proposed punctuated equilibria to explain trends, it is infuriating to be quoted again and again by creationistswhether through design or stupidity, I do not knowas admitting that the fossil record includes no transitional forms. Transitional forms are generally lacking at the species level, but they are abundant between larger groups.
​
So, Dredge, did you quote Gould because of your stupidity?

Re: five reasons
So, in the end Dredge is basically insane in him/her quote-mining Gould for YEC creationism. That's what I thought.

Re: seven "assumptions"
So, you didn't quote from the original work? All hearsay? You quoted from a book you didn't read yourself? No wonder you're a creationist.

Good point, but I trust the judgement of Phillip Johnson. He's formidably intelligennt and, I believe, very honest.
Bad point you have. Read the originals before quoting.
