a mod partaking in thread necromancy?!

oh well, it's a good thread 🙂

It's less than 90 days! Actually, though, I didn't want to start a separate thread, but forgot to add this random thought concerning a literal interpretation - for those who take the Bible literally, rainbows weren't created until after the Great Flood. That's impossible. But, it's a cute little story for children who ask "what makes a rainbow?" Refraction is incredibly well understood. The laws of physics would dictate that there were rainbows well before the great flood. Well, either that, or our eyeballs didn't function back then.
 
There is not now, nor ever will be, any proof of any gradual biological change that can account for the diversity of life on this planet. In order for certain necessary changes to have occurred, millions of smaller changes would need to occur at the same time. There is nothing gradual about what evolutionary theorists claim to have occurred. The entire theory is nonsense from the beginning because of what you just said. The only reason theorists claim it takes hundreds of thousands, if not millions or billions, of years is because it hides the fact that there is no evidence of it at all. It neatly tucks away any responsibility of proving the theory in the unrecorded history that can never be examined.

Have you ever even taken biology?

Not just like Biology 100, but series of biology courses.

We don't know everything, but we have a lot more answers and explanations than you might think if you have not.

But that's the point. They don't have to occur at the same time. Changes can occur at any time, for any reason, or no reason - and they will persist, as long as they do not have an overtly negative effect.

There is overwhelming evidence that this is the case.

I like to think of it this way:

We are the product of a lottery winning crapshoot of a mutation, just like the quadrillions of species that DON'T exist weren't
