They just don’t accept macroevolution or speciation. In other words, they’re fine with accepting that pathogens might acquire or mutate into drug resistant strains, but that some ancient hominid might evolve into humans. (I’m not saying they’re right — just trying to point what they actually believe. I think the evidence for speciation, etc. is quite good — even up to and including that field researchers can point to a few speciation events going on now rather than in deep time.) <br><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="line-height: normal;"><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Regards,</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dan</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Sample my Kindle books at:</span></div><div style="line-height: normal;"><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://author.to/DanUst">http://author.to/DanUst</a></span></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
