That's fine, but you came out guns blazing to the very first post.
let me guess god did it.
Look, evolution doesn't mean there's not God.

You don't even seem to realize what a theory is. Just because something is a theory does not mean it is not true. It means it cannot be 100% proven beyond any shadow of any doubt.

Oh, great find. *yawn* I could have told you there would be some evolutionary evidence in that instance. You have just proved that animals can change over time to adapt to their environments.

Actully they have plenty of fossil evidence to show the process of speciation which leads to the differences you are talking about. Whether you accept that evidence leads to proof is up to you; however, it is exceedingly close-minded and ignorant of you to say there is no evidence at all.

SIGH!!! That IS evolution.
OK lets compromise... I am willing to conceed that you funnymentalists haven't evolved if you are willing admit that the rest of us have.

I just went back and looked over my initial post on this thread. Perhaps you are right that I came out with 'guns blazing'.

There is no evidence -- I repeat, no evidence -- against evolution.
Not.

So, does the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and the Son, or from the Father through the Son? An empire broke asunder over this question.

Here is a question I've always wondered about. Why if bacteria can "evolve" so quickly doesn't it ever turn into anything other than bacteria? I would like some sources that account for those issues.

In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise verified through empirical observation.

I also believe in micro-evolution (duh), but NOT macro-evolution. The reason for that being the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record.
My reasoning goes like this:
Evolutionists say (I think) that fish evolved into birds over millions of years. Therefore you have the following occuring over millions of years:
1. You have a fish
2. You have a fish with some bird-like features still with gills and breathing in water.
3. You have a fish with some bird-like features, lungs and gills and which are amphibean
4 to x. Fish evolving into bird.
x + 1. You have a bird.
With the 100s of 1000s of species currently occupying our planet there should be millions of fossils of transitional forms, i.e. a LOT more than fully formed fossils. Is this the case? I'm sure EVERYONE here will agree with me that it is not the case.
If I've got this wrong please forgive my ignorance and correct me where I'm wrong.
