personally ive always found the creation vrs. evolution debate a little misguided. the majority of persons in this country see first hand proof of both evolution and creation every single morning. if theres a more obvious case of both natural evolution and creation than the domestic dog id like to know about it. we know for a fact that dogs not only have evolved naturally, and continue to do so. but we also know for a fact that outside forces (us) have artificially created many dog breeds. both evolution and creation have occurred in the past, both are in fact happening right now, and both will continue to occur in the future.
ive never understood the anger directed at darwin either. while his theories no longer represent the finest thinking of the scientific world today. for the time, his theories were absolutely ground breaking and well beyond that of his contemporaries. in fact, i really only have 2 issues with his theory. A. his "tree" of life is a little narrow minded imo. i think its more likely that life is more closely compared to a cluster of shrubs. B. i don't think evolution always requires a long period of time to occur nor do i think it is only sparked by competition for resources. its my opinion that climactic issues such as the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere can cause rapid and radical evolution in a very short period of time.
