well there you go, a 'variant eliminating' system built right into their lifestyles.
Did you see the ERVs video. There's some 'cracking' evidence for evolution, common ancestry specifically.

The variant eliminating system I was referring to was the fact that few crocs make it to adulthood. This kind of system will "hone" a species rapidly into the environment, and then keep it there until there is a very significant change in environment.

Oops, my bad. It's late and i'm tired. However, the i.d proponant's reply would be extraordinarily badly thought out. My response is valid, not the i.d 'theorist' who from that would seem to be trying to fit their response to the argument in increasing desperation.

that would suggest that there are no improving mutations in the crocadilians. why would they be an exception. these things are pretty much unchanged for millions of years despite changes to predators and prey. i need a better explaination than "there you go".

things like the erv evidence is the compelling stuff. i enjoy the mental exercise. okay, shared ancestry is one explanation. i disagree with the idea that it is the only explanation.

there is little or no quantifiable difference between the creationism belief and the various theories of creation put forward by science.
there is no physical record or verified experimental data to add proof to the evolutionary theories.
To say this, you must be poorly educated on the subject. No quantifiable difference? Perhaps that one is falsifiable and makes accurate predictions and the other can offer nothing in the way of science at all should. Genetics by it's lonesome proves evolution, there is no other explanation for just about all of genetics.

I hear them talk about how all of the evidence points to this and that but if you ask them for the actual evidence they always say the same thing. "Well, just ask this guy or that guy, or listen to this statement", "all of the various sciences support each other", "They're peer reviewed".
? examples? and were they later vindicated as more evidence became available?
There have been soo many dissenting views that were thrown out simply because they were dissenting views it's incredible.
Hell, I'm not a creationist per se, but I am a realist, I'm not anti science, I'm pro science... I am, however, anti bunk science which is what most of modern paradigmical science is masquerading as science.
I say sometimes creationists can be anti-intellectual, but you cannot call the creation theory anti-intellectualism, because you don't know what it is.
