1 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 9077 | ||
Brandi, indeed you're right in assuming that my original question regarding evolution really pertained to macro-, not microevolution. And I certainly concur that "horizontal" adaptions, i.e., so-called microevolution, are scientifically substantiated and consistent with the creation account of Genesis. Some creationists are perhaps conditioned to respond negatively to any process of nature that contains the word "evolution." But breeds of dogs, for example, represent variations within the species, or microevolution. But a dog remains a dog nonetheless, be it Great Dane or Toy Poodle. If a German Shepherd is mated to a Collie, the offspring is neither a German Shepherd nor a Collie, but a mixed breed of dog and still very much a dog, not some other animal. You made an interesting post and I appreciate your calling attention to the significant differences between the evolution that is called macroevolution, which I believe no strict creationist can accept with comfort, and microevolution, which most can. An interesting website that offers much information on this subject is icr.org (Institute for Creation Reseearch) --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! I was chatting with a friend of mine about this issue the other night at work. He studied biology in college. During our conversation, I thought crossed my mind. How many species go extinct every year? How many new species appear each year? I am always reading about hundreds of species that go extinct every year, but I never hear about new species appearing. If macro-evolution were true, wouldn't there at least be a balance between these two numbers, rather than a net loss? I appreciated your comments and links! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
