Are amphibians the funnel which all evolution must pass through? If so are
you prepared to show evidence of all life with transitional fossils?

We are all sinners, my children are but I love them. It is easy for me to
understand how a loving God would love his creation. It is much more
difficult for me at least to understand how a loving God would put mankind
through the Hell that evolutionary mutation must cause. That would be a
legacy of death and horrible torture.

I guess I got a lot more from Jim's post that you did.
