    No one has yet answered me as to where I can find a complete fossil record that proves evolution. For as many faults as people like to point out in Creationism/Intelligent Design, it seems as if those of you who believe evolution aren’t willing to admit any degree of uncertainty to your THEORY.

    First, I will establish the fact that I am a teacher of history, not science. Also, I have read all 200+ comments on this strip, so I know some of what I am about to say has been said before, and some of it has not. 1. Could someone please tell me where I can find the fossil record completely intact? To the best of my knowledge, it doesn’t exist. 2. All science that I have been taught has followed the scientific method and must be both observable and repeatable. Is macro-evolution either of these? Not to my knowledge. Is micro-evolution either of these? Absolutely, or else we would not be here. Micro-evolution does not deny God or any belief of a Fundamental Christian, while macro-evolution does. 3. The earth was – at one point – one landmass called Pangea. It is my belief that this landmass separated during a world-wide flood. 4. It is my belief that Noah carried 2 of every animal on the ark. This includes unicorns and dinosaurs. The reason they are no longer living is simple: climate change.5. In response to the reader who called God an abortionist for instigating the Flood, I answer this way: Since you call God an abortionist, you are assuming that the Biblical account is literally accurate. In assuming this, you should also take the other portions of the story literally as well. This includes the fact that God gave the people a way out (They only had to get on the ark; God did not make belief in Him a prerequisite). Also, God gave them 120 years to make up their minds. The deaths of innocent children were the result of the parent’s decision, not God’s decision. 6. To those that point out that Christianity instigated the Crusades and the Inquisition I reply that these affairs were instigated by men and not by God. 7. To those who say evolution has never been used in the same way, I invoke Godwin’s law: Hitler, anyone? He advocated the use of “eugenics” to “prove” the superiority of the Aryan race. 8. I am a young-earth creationist, but I think the age of the earth is roughly 15,000 to 20,000 years old.8. In the end, what each of us believes is our own personal choice. It is our duty to make informed decisions based on the best evidence provided.I see Creationism and Macro-evolution as theories since neither are observable nor repeatable. How you see it may be different, but it does not mean one of us is “smarter” than the other.
