Hi Ray,

I snipped almost all of what both of us wrote in the preceding
posts because I like focusing on central issues....


In other words you received a spanking.


....and believe
that the following statement from you is directed to the core
issue that separates us:

RM> There isn't any evidence for evolution - none.

For the past year or so the starting point evidence for
evolution that I have been posting is as follows:

These fossils illustrate the step by step evolution of the
human brain over the past 2.5 million years from about 450cc
to it's present size of about 1350cc:

Can you tell me why this group of fossils doesn't qualify as
"evidence for evolution"?

--------- I consider ALL arguments in support of my views ---------


Homo-erectus is a child, does not cranial capacity increase when
adulthood is reached? And what happened to Neanderthal Man?

In any case, you have no mechanism to accomplish this miracle (= apes
morphing into men) which is based on rejection of Genesis miracles. In
other words, you have no choice. Evolution is a one horse race since
it rejects Creationism as a competitor. Nobody has ever provided a
satisfactory reply to these points that places the ball back into my
court.

Waiting....
