We don't know how it happened, therefore it's impossible, therefore there must be a being that can do the impossible.
How did he do it?
Magic.
Why don't you ask Him how He did it or just read Genesis 1 & 2.

I've read your Bible, at least show me the courtesy of reading a decent reference book on Evolution before attempting to comment. If you are not prepared to read one then just don't say anything, because your ignorance is making you look extremely foolish.
I even tried warning him what was going to happen I'd he took this approach in one of his other threads when he announced his intent to post his 7 arguments.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Thank you for your perspective.

That little thing in the back of your mind that clues you in when something's not right? He has systematically destroyed that thing, and is proud of it. What it must be like to live in a world of constant cognitive dissonance. Leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I thought you didn't believe in the supernatural. Apparently you have the power to see what I do and have done in my life.

However, this is not the case, rather, the fossil record shows the original diversity of animal and plant forms.
Evolution models of the fossil record predict the following:
- wholesale transitions in organisms over time
- primitive forms evolving into complex forms
- gradual derivation of new organisms produced transitional forms
We do not find any of these to be true based on our fossil record.
Trilobites are an example of an organism appearing suddenly in the fossil record void of any evidence of transitions. Furthermore, trilobites have an organized complexity comparable to modern day invertebrates.
The facts remain, fossils have been discovered to suddenly appear in the record without transition. This is what would be expected from intelligent design not macroevolution.
I might be dumb, but I ain't stupid. I knows when things be creation or not, das fo shur.
