]Marke: It's too bad Darwin failed to gain a good understanding of theology in college. Darwin never observed animals evolving into humans or even evolving ito other animals with totally different genomes than their parents, like fish evolving into birds or some other such nonsense.
Theology? What do you know about theology?
Marke: I believe I know more about God than Darwin who benefitted very little from his degree in theology.
I think we can assume that a fish that always breathed air evolved into other fish like it that also breathe air.
Then we should be able to assume that Archaeopteryx would evolve into other lizard-birds. So why aren't there species of lizard-birds around now?
Marke: We may not have any more Archaeoraptors around any more but we do still have apes so evlution has not changed everything as some may fear who do believe in evolution.

Humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans etc. are all modern species which show signs of having descended from a common ancestor. Evolution doesn't have to change everything (the cockroach is still going strong after 70 million years); it depends a lot on adaptability to the environment.

To your second part, since evolution is a fact, acknowledging it is not something to fear. I believe you might be projecting your own fear on to others here. Fear is internal, so no amount of trying will place your fear in others though.
What I mean is that since you fear evolution, because it would mean your religious beliefs are false, you fear it. This baggage is your own though and is what brings you fear. Accepting the fact that populations change over time is not something to fear (thus why I feel you are simply projecting your fear on to others).
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.
I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb

Marke: I don't fear evolution. Evolution remains unproven and unscientific in spite of the refutable denials of millions of faithful evolutionism disciples.
