Re: definition of evolution
However, where is the line drawn?
Evolution has been taking place since life arose.

Re: definition of evolution
What about when life was created by a creator
What about it? Evolution is not about How we get life just what happens afterwards.
​
"evolution" is just a variation within a kind.
Please do what no other creationist has done and define "kind" in a biologically usefull manner.

Re: definition of evolution
why it isn't useful to identify birds as things in the sky
Cause not all birds fly, and not all flying animals are birds.
​
fish as things in the sea
Cause not everything in the sea is a fish.
​
animals as things on the land
Cause animals don't exist only on land.
​
Quantifying it anymore seems a waste of time.
Yes, cause science is best when its really really really vague and inaccurate.
​
I am ready to change my opinion if you can supply me with a reason to believe the Linnean model is "biologically useful."
It allows us to classify living organisms and show how they are related to each other.
