Is evolution as crooked as Hillary?

A question.....
Which seems more likely?
1) Hillary was divinely created by the God who lives within her.
2) Hillary is the product of eons of dog-eat-dog survival of the fittest.

Selective breeding is at the core of evolution, it is good that Kemosloby understands that much. Now ... how does selective breeding work?

Individuals with certain characteristics are selected to pass their genes onto the next generation and thus the next generation is somewhat different from the precious one.

When the selection is done by natural circumstances, that is natural selection, which is evolution. What Kemosloby is actually arguing is that there is a limit to the degree of change that evolution can effect. That argument is specious in the extreme since it is a baseless claim with existing evidence and inference in contradiction to it.

BTW: Kemosloby, no one (save you) claims that man evolved from monkeys.

I can imagine the purpose of natural selection could result in evolution over millions and millions of years. But it also could have happened all at once. God created a man and woman who populated the whole earth over thousands of years. Likewise animals could have come into being the same way. Adapting, changing and filling in the niches of the earth. Where is your proof of life coming into existance where there was no life?

And where is your proof of any species (like humans) coming into existence all at once. Oddly, it's simply NOT what the fossil record shows, over and over and over again. Try looking up "evolution of the horse," because there's a particularly good fossil record for them. Elephants, too!

The evidence for Evolution is certainly there -- buckets and buckets and buckets of it! But nobody seems able to get the "God created me" minded folks to even look at it. And it is very little surprise that people do not learn what they will not look at.

Someone finds a dead pony and a dead horse and puts 2 + 2 together. Or find some bones of every variety of dog and put them in order of biggest to smallest..look it's evolution. And all the God haters lap it up.

So where is your proof of life starting from nothing?

So far as I can tell, you are the only one claiming that life came from nothing.

Which is rather comical given evolution does not address the beginning of life.

So where did it come from? Evolution starts with life already existing?
