How can I discuss other things when your foundational ideas on evolution are wrong?
Natural selection is a central concept of evolution, which is really a process of elimination.

They aren't happening to individuals, an individual is not getting parts of its body "selected out" and then evolving into something else. It's just a matter of who survives and who breeds a lot. That's the selection process, in a nutshell. Those more suited to their environment will live longer and produce more offspring, so any tiny changes they possess will become more frequent in the next generation.
It's not one cell on Monday and a lion on Friday.
The problem is not with the understanding of people. The problem is with the evidence. Without having any justifiable evidence, you guys are trying to push the theory of evolution down to throats of people by the use of force. That is a bad thing.
By the way breeding is an artificial process not natural process.

Evolution did not happen 6 minutes ago, it did not happen 6,000 years ago, and it did not happen 6 centillion years ago. In other words, it never happened and you have no evidence to prove my argument false.
Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is the product of guesswork. It holds no real essence in terms of practical science.
