blasher,

I don't mean to be rude, but I didn't read your entire message. Maybe I will later.

I read one of your sentences and thought I should respond to that, then get to other things I need to do.

You wrote, "There has never been any evidence of new kinds of creatures."

That is totally incorrect. You also don't define what "kinds" of creatures means.

If you don’t mind, terribly, “kind” is not a scientific term used to classify life.

The following shows how life is classified, largest division at the top, smallest at the bottom …

Life
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
…. Super-division
…. Division
Class
Order
Family
…. Subfamily
Genus
Species

Notice that Species is the finest division and therefore at the bottom of the list.

Phylogenetic charts classify life in that manner. If you look at one of those charts superimposed on a date scale, you will find vast numbers of “very different” life classifications (or “kinds”, if you prefer) and when it was estimated they evolved. I am also sure you will not agree, and don’t understand the science of carbon dating, and do believe that carbon dating has been proven false. To that, I will say that the science of carbon dating has changed, but it’s only changed in the direction of becoming more accurate.

I suggest that you accept that God created the science of carbon dating, and that He gave us the ability to discover that science and to learn how to improve upon it. I suggest that you accept that God also created such items as excess heat, excess cold, gamma rays, random events, and anything else that has been scientifically proven to cause genetic changes of such magnitude that it causes the continual Creation of new life forms that never existed before.

I suggest that you accept the fact that your God is very much alive and not even close to being done with Creation.

Or, you can keep your head buried in a hole in the ground if that continues to be your choice. God gave you Free Will to remain as uneducated as you desire.
