Good point - Lack of common definitions is often a problem with
these types of discussions. I'll admit right away that I'm not the
one to do the defining - I chose Physics over Biology.
Archeology isn't my area either, which is part of why I'm asking
what I'm asking. What I know of evolution makes no sense to me,
but if there's evidence "out there" that changes that I'd like to see it.
Bruce says that everything is a transitional step - rather a new
way (to me) of looking at evolution. "Everyone" here seems to be
going on the assumption that I know everything "you're" talking about
and have rejected it. I find myself on the opposite side of the debate
as I am with David and Christianity (which is where I joined this whole
whirlwind in the first place.) He says he's "tried" Christianity and
rejected it - I'm trying to correct his view of what I believe and what
the Bible says. In a somewhat similar fashion, I've "tried" evolution
and rejected it. I admit I'm no expert on it - perhaps my rejection was
based on incorrect and/or incomplete information. It seems though
that when I ask for evidence of evolution I'm attacked and expected
to support creation. Perhaps if I restated my "focal point"...
Can someone demonstrate how the fossil record supports evolution?
