"Planet Earth" had video of orcas separating a grey whale from her calf. They killed the calf and ate the tongue, leaving the rest.

If the choice is between evolution and design, the correct answer is ALWAYS 'evolution'.

"Creation" isn't even an option. It would be "evolution or something we don't know yet." And that "something" won't require magic.

I think we can all confidently say that the theory of evolution doesn't have or even need a competing theory.
It's only the theists demanding an equal alternative.

Too bad evolution has to own up to such embarrassing failures as creationists.

It's only the theists demanding an equal alternative.

It provides predictions that are testable, like Tiktaalik, so the basic principles do, indeed, work. We might find a driving force some day that trumps "those fit to survive", but that's science. No magic required.
