I agree with my colleague from Down Under. Evolution is real. Before you start burning me at the stake... I of course believe in Creation, and do not believe that evoultion theory is what created all the world's different "families". But to deny evolution is to deny our health. Natural selection takes place everyday with microorganisms such as bacteria, partly due to our overusage of antibiotics. This is why many antibiotics are no longer useful for bugs they were used for in the past, and why most antibiotic doses have increased.
This is the problem for us. I guess the way to fight such people is to show that the Earth is very young, and that 8000 years is not enough for inorganic chemicals to form the firct cell, then to form the first ape, then first human... After all, how in this secular world of ours, could life have just been impregnated into inorganic matter? And how could a few tiny microorganisms possibly have merged to form the first cell? That is if I would merge with a hippo, cat and bird to make a 'super cell' <!-- s
