Cephus....Therefore, I give you: conolophus marthae and conolophus subcristatus. As you can see, they are of the same genus but different species. Well, the two can interbreed. In fact you could mount a reasonable argument that the two are in fact the same species. A better way of defining the pair would be to say they are of the same kind.
Unfortunately for your hypothesis all off sping of any chance encounter of these two species of Galapagos Iguanas are generally sterile...The land iguanas also occasionally breed with the resident marine iguanas, but again the off spring are sterile, so this interbreeding goes nowhere...I thought you would have known that.

Not specifically addressed to me,but on a scale of a few thousand years via the Noah model vs. billions of years of evolution?Hardly.

Just by way of curiosity,why would God magically whip up dinosaurs and then let them go extinct as an entire subset of animals?Man could not have affected the world in any way at that stage that could have caused the extinction,so what happened?

Why ask cephus?Think for yourself.

But dinosaurs are accepted even by conservative Christians.They just think man tamed and rode them.

One rule if you are going to participate.It is not up to anyone who believes in evolution to prove it correct.The claim has been made that someone knowledgeable on evolution has decided evolution is incorrect.Therefore,the onus for supporting this claim falls on the one who has supposedly once believed in it and has now discovered proof enough to disbelieve it.

So let's have it.What real,hard factual scientific data led someone to conclude that all they had been taught about evolution is wrong.The ball is in your court.

Prove it wrong with facts.
Wrong in what way?

Evolution can't explain the beginning of life. There are theories that viable, but not proven.

As far as evolution after life began, yeah, thats indisputable.

One doesn't need to have a science degree to post a link to a peer-reviewed study that describes a given result.

So I'm curious. When you walk into a large collection of fossils such as those at the Chicago Field Museum do you think that someone created thousands of fake fossils for the sole purpose of confusing the general public or is it possible that you have absolutely no knowledge of the subject and are just yapping about something that you're completely ignorant of?
