is this a trick question?
I know about small changes in animals through time working usually in deterioration of the animal and beneficial in a restricted environment. I know about breeding and I know about Speciation, I also know about cell adaptation to many antibiotics in a restricted environment and in a deterioration sort of way. I have been studying science for over 4 years now and i am a firm believer in the scientific theory.
I trust many of the Creation Scientists arguments AS WELL as many of the Evolutionists arguments. but at the same time, I believe this question is highly misleading because it states that you cannot believe in evolution and be religious at the same time. so i hope to clear up some things here.
First of all, I label what you are referring to as "Common Ancestry", or the fundamental belief that all organic beings on this earth came from a single common ancestor. although I believe that all beings HAD a common ancestors, no one disagrees that the house-cat descended from the lion, but I do not hold the belief that humans and chimps are related for example, or that cats may be related to fish. A huge lack of fossil evidence for inter-type connections forces me to not be able to believe that the cat and the fish ever had a common ancestor, or even humans and apes had a common ancestor.
Second, there is a big difference between small scales changes in animals, or just pure change over time, and ancestry between all animals from the beginning of life. please make sure to distinguish between them. that way you do not confuse the people on this thread.
"Creation" represents solely religious implications, not letting anyone know the actual data and the scientific inquiry that creation scientists go through and actually bring up very goods points and well as HIGHLY accurate scientific facts. yes, I have seen some facts that are false, I see them with creation scientists, i see them with evolutionists. for the most part please cross-reference your sources and do not take information from biased sites like Talkorigins and Dr dino. the best sources are the original data from sites like national geographic and dailyscience.com, and no, not the scientists interpretation of the data in the article, no quotes, quotes prove nothing but hearsay, but the original data from the articles.
But just please make sure you do not confuse your readers with bias. A better Title would be "Common Ancestry, or Creation Science?". that way it is less biased, and more professional.
YES! All of the Links on this reply are from articles posted by me. There is nothing wrong with quoting yourself, unless you can give me a viable logical reason how it IS wrong... if you are interested in reading more of my articles on science, click HERE
