Do you believe that all cats had a common, proto-cat ancestor? If so, what should we look for to demonstrate whether this is true?

I think you should leave him alone. Clearly a couple of people are trying to put pressure on him. I would call that trolling not what he is doing.

So what.
Well modern cats did not evolve from sabertooths but along side them. Just sharing info with you. What do you mean so what?

I mean so what.
Also, you're just throwing out statements, if I want to learn about cats I can read it in my references.
So you think that a specimen from the fossil record (for example, a saber-toothed cat) would be evidence that tigers and house cats are descended from a common ancestor?Didn't I just answer that?en:
So you hold similarity of appearance to be an indicator of common ancestry?disciple said:

It depends, get to your point.

You'll see. I'm a bit surprised you haven't been able to figure it out yet yourself.
So what does it depend on?

The idea is that the same evidence one would look at to demonstrate common ancestry between tigers and cats (genetics, fossil remains, similarity in morphology) is the same kind of evidence that evolutionists would use to demonstrate macroevolution (genetics, fossil remains, similarity in morphology). That is, creationists accept these bits of evidence when they can be used to support microevolution from primordial kinds but do not accept it if it is used to support macroevolution. It's an inconsistency.

3. Trolling and Bullying
We recognize three areas of unacceptable trolling:
1)Posts that are deliberately inflammatory in order to provoke a vehement response from other users. This includes both verbal statements and images. Images that are likely to cause offense based on religious objections (e.g. depictions of Muhammad or Baha'u'llah) or the sensitive nature of what is depicted (e.g. graphic photos of violence) should be put in appropriately-labeled spoiler tags so that the viewer has freedom to view the image or not. Such images are still subject to normal forum rules and may be moderated depending on their contents.
2)Posts that target a person or group by following them around the forums to attack them. This is Bullying. Deliberately altering the words of another member by intentionally changing the meaning when you use the quote feature is considered a form of bullying. The ONLY acceptable alteration of a quotation from another member is to remove portions that are not relevant or to alter formatting for emphasis.
3)Posts that are adjudged to fit the following profile: "While questioning and challenging other beliefs is appropriate in the debates forums, blatant misrepresentation or harassment of other beliefs will not be tolerated."
4. Spam and Advertising/Off Topic Posts
Usually described as unsolicited or undesired electronic messages. There are many types of electronic spam:
1)Posting advertisements, unsolicited e-mail or private messaging, promoting other sites or items for sale. These will be deleted on sight and the poster may be banned.
2)Advertising of sites and forums that might appear to be in competition to RF requires the permission of an administrator.
3)Signatures are allowed to contain links, but not to commercial sites unless there is administrator approval. This applies to home page links as well.
4)Posting your own material copied from other forums or anywhere else on the web may also be considered a form of spam if not done in an engaging manner that is aimed at generating discussion or debate. Length of copied material should be limited, but a bit more allowance of length is given to the original posts of threads compared to response posts.
5)Posts that are judged to deviate significantly from the thread topic, or that do not conform to the tone or intent of the thread, may be edited or deleted.

I think that perhaps getting to the point more quickly would have made more sense, only a few Xians even answered your thread.

Why do creationists need evidence when evolutionists don't?

Hmm good question...
For the same reason that flat earthers need evidence whereas round earthers don't, anymore.
