Circular reasoning and still no source. "Natural selection keeps things specified because of natural selection." You take so much time out of your day to reply to the posts on this thread, and yet you spend zero time researching that which you are arguing for. Why are you so lax in your burden of proof?

Parroting the staff of the Creation Musuem won't win you any brownie points, especially here on this forum.
Our "assumptions" are based on natural laws that we suspect are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is reasonable for us to assume these things. Your assumptions, however, are indeed flawed, for they are based on the idea that natural laws can and have bent to the will of the supernatural in order to trick us into thinking that the earth is older than it really is as a huge ploy into choosing faith over reason. How is this god of yours not the equivalent of a Frat Boy playing a prank on the other college-goers?

Reference please.
You fail to bring any of your sources or evidence to the table here, and yet you beg for evidence and references when an argument presents itself that might lend credence to our claims?
I'll give you one. Just one. It's probably all you can handle right now with that busy schedule of yours.
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution
Oh, did I say "one"? I meant one link to 29 Evidences of a species evolving into another.

Just stating that it's not relevant does not make it irrelevant. You're going to have to do better than that.
