To ask excellence of you is not asking for a priestly exchange. I am not
asking for priestly exchange. But what I am asking is for you personally to
spend some time actually reading what the evolutionists are saying. That is
what reading the original articles is all about. And for the record, I do
spend a lot of time reading lots of literature on lots of various subjects.
Why? Because creationism is a large area and if one is to even begin to hope
to put the entire puzzle together, he has to have a wide range of facts to
draw from. Otherwise, one is simply like one of the blind men describing the
elephant.
It is not wise to say things about facts in the creation/evolution area
without being familiar with the original sources. You see this all the time
in some of the YEC literature. Scott Huse says that the evolutionists believe
platypus is a transitional form between birds and mammals. (Huse Collapse of
Evolution, p. 109) I know of no evolutionist who has ever suggested such an
absurdity and Huse gives no reference. I don't think he knows what he is
talking about there.
