God help me, but I'm in agreement with Steve.

dd, you've always seemed like a smart person, so I must be misunderstanding you. Not only is evolution inductive as opposed to deductive....so is all of science, frankly. And many are the instances when science has felt absolutely secure in a conclusion, only to have that conclusion washed away by new evidence. There have been many instances where a scientific conclusion seemed absolutely certain, only to be overturned. Evolutionists are taking certain positions these days that are FAR FAR less justified than those 'proven' conclusions that have been overturned. If you look carefully at the fossil record, you find that it's a major stretch to assert conclusively that we evolved from apes by natural forces with no outside intervention. Maybe we did, but the fossil record is actually terribly 'circumstantial' if you will. Steve points to just one example: If we evolved from apes, then someone still needs to explain the massively dramatic changes that occurred in just the last couple of hundred thousand years, and I think it's more like probably less than 100,000 years. In that time, natural selection would normally cause some changes/improvements, but nothing in the fossil record of any species of any kind, shows the breathtaking acceleration of this process, on just our species, in the last nanosecond (in "evolutionary" years.) Now, I have heard some theories, like the language thing. But that does not explain the physical changes. Heck, apes are hairy everywhere except their faces. I'm just the opposite. If you look at the evidence and you're not scratching your head, then you're jumping to conclusions.

Christians believe we are different from other creatures in the eyes of God. If a Christian is going to believe that we evolved from apes, then when exactly did God separate us from apes in the way he has? There's an interesting question.

Oh, and I appreciate your assertion that folks with Darwin Fish on their trunk lids are not dismissing God entirely. Okay. But I'm still wondering what message I should be receiving when I see those fish. Tell me. Are you guys trying to offer me a science lesson? Why don't you paste something on your car regarding the various glues I wish I understood and what glue is best in which applications? Well, it looks to me like the answer is that Darwin Fish are meant to be either:

1) Argumentative and/or
2) Showing me how cerebral you think you are.

No, I don't criticize fish without crosses. Some fish are hilarious. Fish N Chips. The fishbones one is cool too. But I think I'm supposed to be getting a more serious message from the Darwin Fish and it seems to me that message is one or the other of the two above. Unless you can inform me better.
