I'm having a little trouble getting a straight answer from Biblical Creationists so if any of you want to help me out by answering these question...
[b][u]Kind[/u][/b]
1) Define a biblical "kind" for me. 2) Tell me how one reliably and consistently concludes whether or not two animals belong to the same "kind" .
[b][i]Evolution[/i][/b]
a) In your own words (ideally without googling it) how is evolution meant to work? How, for example, does a bird evolve from a dinosaur? b) What would be a hypothetical example of evidence which would suggest this process had occurred?

Evolution isn't really a theory. It's called that so people don't get all torqued up. There's clear evidence of it in the way that viruses and other things adapt. The idea is that there are mutations that make a life form more adaptive to its environment. I think where some objection to the idea is that people take the idea of evolution (a fact) and expand it to be things it isn't. It does not assert that there is not God; on the contrary, it's very compatible with all modern religions. It's entirely possible that God intervened numerous times to create something as complex as a human eye from a single celled creature. I'm not a religious person, but I can see the opportunity for a god in the process..
Well the fact that life changes over successive generations in response to environmental pressure is a fact. The Theory of Evolution explains the means by which this occurs.
@Emosaur [quote]f there is a god it can't be a loving one (therefore it's not the Abrahamic god).[/quote] If it were a loving god, it couldn't be the Abrahamic one. That one is evil personified.
