Hello Bex,

Fortunately, RAZD, there are people out there who don't require finding refuge behind complex language or terminology like the evolutionist and can quite easily break down their language tricks, which
Which is why you write such long posts to say so little?

Here is a website where you can learn some real evolution -- it is posted by a university that teaches it as part of their course work and as assistance guides to other teachers:

1. Stasis: Many lineages on the tree of life exhibit stasis, which just means that they don’t change much for a long time, as shown in the figure to the right.

In fact, some lineages have changed so little for such a long time that they are often called living fossils. Coelacanths comprise a fish lineage that branched off of the tree near the base of the vertebrate clade. Until 1938, scientists thought that coelacanths went extinct 80 million years ago. But in 1938, scientists discovered a living coelacanth from a population in the Indian Ocean that looked very similar to its fossil ancestors. Hence, the coelacanth lineage exhibits about 80 million years’ worth of morphological stasis.

2. Character change: Lineages can change quickly or slowly. Character change can happen in a single direction, such as evolving additional segments, or it can reverse itself by gaining and then losing segments. Changes can occur within a single lineage or across several lineages. In the figure to the right, lineage A changes rapidly but in no particular direction. Lineage B shows slower, directional change.
You will note that stasis is actually part of evolution. Any evidence of stasis is not evidence that evolution does not occur in other lineages or at other times.

It's not my reality, but everyone's ... well everyone that has an open mind and is willing to learn about the real world anyway. It's not a matter of faith but a matter of skepticism -- treating all beliefs with skepticism and testing them against the facts for reality.

Things that stand up to such testing:
  • Evolution
  • Geology
  • Astronomy
  • Physics
  • Archeology
  • Radiometric dating
  • Genetics
  • An old universe (at least 13.7 billion years old)
  • An old earth (at least 4.55 billion years old)
  • A long existence of life on earth (at least 3.5 billion years)


Things that do not stand up to testing:
  • A young earth
  • A global flood
  • A flat earth
  • A geocentric earth
  • Ignorance


Enjoy.
