Jon,
Sorry, what I posted was all I know on that particular subject.
>> There is a difference between the limited variation found in the genetic
pool of any given species and the kind of changes envisioned by the theory of
evolution. Creationists have no argument with the kind of limited change that
takes place from generation to generation within a species. <<
Maybe you can answer me a question. What is the difference between
microevolution and macroevolution, such that you can accept one but not the
other? Why is it impossible for evolution to change, say, saltwater lobsters
into sweetwater crayfish? Why couldn't mutation and natural selection modify a
lizard into a snake? What unbridgeable gap is there between a savannah monitor
and a Komodo dragon?
