Welcome back SoSick.
you are kidding right?
Of course genetic changes happen throughout generations. however, genetics and evolution are two different things. For instance, the genetic changes in a child born of a white man and a black woman, are not proof of evolution. There have not been any changes toward a new species, just inherited traits of the same species still.
Keep in mind, you are trying to prove evolution, not genetics or ancestry, to people who sincerely believe that God spoke this world into existence and created the life in it.
So just the word evolution is enough to set off your defense mechanisms.
So to make it less "scary" for you lets instead talk about variation, adaptation and the heredity of traits from parent to offspring. We'll start by talking about the process of "variation and adaptation":

"Variation and adaptation" is the change in hereditary traits in populations from generation to generation.[/color]
This still applies from the
Opening Topic Message then:
[color:"blue"](2) "Variation and adaptation" is consistent with "variation and adaptation within kinds" or "microevolution" as used by creationists, and thus that
creationists should not be concerned about "variation and adaptation" as defined here.[/color]
As does:
[color:"blue"]If nobody objects to this definition of "variation and adaptation", or you just agree to it for the sake of the argument, then we can move on to what the definition of "the Theory of Variation and Adaptation" would involve, and see what develops, and see if
that is a problem for creationism. [/color]
So shall we continue or not? Are you afraid of words or reality?
Enjoy.
