Yeah, I used an example of a herd of gazelles who were running to get away from a Lion, and a few had a gene that allowed better blood circulation to the muscles, those genes are likely to get passed through the generations where the slower ones die off, creating a better species overall.
His response was, "But they're still gazelles"

How the Hell do homo erectus evolve up to homo Neanderthalis without gaining information? I mean if he believes there is proof of losing information, that's the same as gaining information because information that changing is both depending on your point of view.. Like if you change a byte from 0 to 1 you simultaneously "gain" the 1 while "losing" the 0.
Evolution from my understanding isn't considered a theory anymore.
Well even a good deal of religious fraternities now accept evolution over creationism.
They have just changed their argument to say basically it shows Gods work is even more beautiful than we first thought.
