Discussion on debate between Esquilax and His_Majesty.

[Mystical]

I see, Exian. That is indeed difficult because that process took a very long time, and there are so many transitions from one to the other we can only observe in what we have record of. For me there wasn't one specific piece of information that helped me understand; it was all the little changes that have been observed as a whole. Things I thought to be impossible as a creationist. If I were you, I'd just start showing her what we can see. Fish grow legs, skinks can change how they give birth, whales are genetically shown to have common descent with land animals.

Perhaps there are child science courses you can order? They teach evolution all over the world, after all. There's kids version websites of Nasa and National Geographic, which theists around here would actually benefit from taking a look at, too.

Personally I would have her look into animals and how they adapt to their environment. Cold blooded, and warm blooded, and how they adapt to climate or environmental changes.
My personal favorite is the synapsid Dimetrodon.
Also, mutations are comprehendible for children when they look at their own species. It's one of the first things kids study! Their parents, their peers.. Mutations are the copying process gone awry; elsewise you'd be a clone of your parent, etc.


Just some ramblings from my brain, here. Sorry I can't be of more help
