Re: RE: The YECs continue

I am amazed that the creationists keep trying to divert attention away
from the plain evidence for evolutionary changes by crying out against the
power of mutations. Heck, if they want, then become theistic
evolutionists and believe that God guided each mutation, who cares? Not
very much work for God really, since all mammalian genomes contain so many
similar genes, even mice and humans. The creationists keep bringing up
"mutations" to divert attention away from the actual evidence for changes
over time of land animals into sea going critters, regardless of the exact
means by which it was accomplished. And that's the basic definition of
evolution, changes over time, diverging species. Darwinism is the only
means that we can actually study, like studying mutation rates and seeing
what little changes in the genome would have had to have taken place, and
comparing frequencies of reproduction in modern species. But agreeing
that Darwinism explains everything is not necessary in order to be an
evolutionist. Just ask Michael Denton, who panned "common descent" but
now accepts it, though his first book was titled, Evolution: A Theory in
Crisis.
