Dear Paul, One of the recent young age of dinosaurs was the discovery of the soft tissue of a T'Rex complete with DNA. I would certainly be at odds with Philip over millions of years. Philip seems to have forgotten that modern research has shown that radiometric dating is seriously flawed.

Archaeopteryx had feathers and wings, but it also had teeth and a skeleton similar to a small carnivorous dinosaur; therefore, it had both bird and theropod dinosaur features. Similar in size and shape to a European Magpie, it bore broad, rounded wings and a long tail. Do they then have photos, or perhaps an original in deep freeze? Do you believe then that Dinosaurs are reptilian.. ? Why? because thats what we have been told for centuries? Are you forgetting that speculation (and fraud) clothed these monster skeletons. ? Do you know that doubt has been cast on this speculation by more recent DNA tests that show these to be mammal rather than reptile.. also the dating method has been turned upside down by serious new evidence.. What reason other than faith in evolution would cause scientists to get angry at these new research data? The point is that the fossils are not true evidence of anything other than that there are/were extinct animal types... Please do not put me down on the claim that this is a creationist make believe outburst.. I have already put on the record that God created an old universe, His Garden had very old plants and trees that had never seen the light of more than one day. And also a well worn river that had never seen a flood. I would not be surprised at millions of years old fossils that had never ever experienced life on earth. This I not only concede, but expect to be likely. God created an evolved world, according to natural law. That He bypassed this process; such is His mystery of creation, and a test for those whom he wants to call His own, as to whether they believe in Him and His word, or reject Him. Physical evidence of evolution could never be a PROOF against creation. Foolish proud and rebellious man. Lazarus was already corrupt and stinketh, yet He raised him back to life.. That was re- creation... not evolution. Nevertheless I will not accept as fact the subjective speculation surrounding the science of the fossil records, as proof of any cross species evolution in that process, not even that dinosaurs were reptiles will I accept. It is speculation with presumption and you know it. The modern science of genetic modification, where genes of a species of fish are combined with or added to a tomatoe plant or the proposed experiments to prooduce Chimeras, are proof positive, due to the extremely "opposed to nature" methods used, that such cross breeding between species is contrary to the natural Law. I am certain, that had He allowed nature to take its course over billions of years, (He certainly had the time) then beginning with just energy of perhaps positive and negative charges, one must go back further than a sea of soup, TRUE science would favour the proposition that evolution began in SEVERAL diverse orders, and with the developement of each species SEPARATELY..according to natural laws.

It wouldn't matter how many transitional fossils are found in this series, the creationists will simply repeat the exercise in ever smaller increments. Yes Apo A-I Milano is microevolution and it is an enhancement. And lots of these in succession and in isolation eventually become a new species -- macroevolution. Since no creationist to the best of my knowledge, has ever given a definition of 'kind', I doubt that you would break the mould but we live in hope. Are you prepared to offer such a definition? If you are, (or even if you're not) which Arkian 'kind' is the ancestor (by microevolution of course!) of the kangaroo? Or of the lemur? Or of the hawaiian carnivorous caterpillar as per the snippet below? I also have an historical perspective on the subject of evolution from the creationist point of view. Are you interested? Might give you some ideas. Paul D Snippet from http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/acad/CTAHRInAction/Dec_05/caterpillar.asp. Our state is home to 350 known species of Hyposmocoma. Most of these species are endemic to a single island. Since first identifying the Maui caterpillar, Rubinoff and Haines have found different species of snail-eating Hyposmocoma on Molokai, Kauai, and the Big Island, revealing how our islands are hotbeds of evolution in which new organisms and survival strategies arise at a remarkable rate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sick of deleting your inbox?
