Strange.
I don't find it strange at all. It's how fundies operate - hypocritically.

No it does not. Evolution requires nothing from a humans mind.

Evolution is an observable process. You either understand this process or you don't.

So we have observed in real time hominids transforming into human beings? Wow.

Have we observed gods creating human beings out of mud in real time?

Tell you what, Jeff. You go find a peer reviewed science site that says evolution means "a hominid transforms into a human being" and we'll start looking for examples.

Evolution takes place over hundreds of generations, as you well know. No living creature has ever transformed into another living creature.

That's what was in 10th grade biology class.

No, but we have observed in real time evidences that greatly raise the probability factor. It's a much bigger leap to say that because of this small mutation that I see, my ancestor was a primate.

God was not created by man. God was defined and explained by man. Big difference.

No need to muddy up the waters here. You know full well that it is common to associate abiogenesis with evolution and it's at the heart of an evolution debate. The mechanism that you define as evolution could have simply have been another defense mechanism from God to allow species to adapt to different environments. It's a far reach to tell me that I arrived from a primate ancestor simply from observing that moths have changed colors.
