First you pick a terrible time period to try and breath life into your IDiocy.....then you ask a redneck about deer?
Well, buddy, all you need to know is right here

I don't think you grasp this concept at all. I don't know if you don't want to or I'm not communicating it effectively, but it is dead simple.
Your idea of a "species" or "kind" is merely a snapshot in time. It's arranged this way partially because we are working backwards, up the branches.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even-toed_ungulate - If we were to build a time machine, and go to the Eocene period, we would find many animals that would eventually "become deer", we would not, however, find any modern deer.
Clear?
For those that enjoy visual aides.

You know why this particular list is so detailed btw? We tend to pay attention to our food.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I’m curious as to how you determine true science. Does it require a personal stamp of approval from your preacher, or will seeing it on FOX News do?

True science... normal science that don't go against your beliefs and/or damage one's pride.
I prefer the crude, raw, reality filled thing, called just "science".

Clear? GC does NOT understand Evolutionary Theory (ET). GC beleives "have you ever seen a cat give birth to a dog?" is a valid challenge to ET.
All the advances of science are welcommed when it comes to lighting his house, providing him with a computer, or healing his loved ones or himself. When the same standards which led and lead to advances in these fields are applied to things that would lead him to question the bible, he rejects them. Its intellectual self deception.

Hehehe, a great example of cat/dog can be found in the Thylacine. It is of course neither. Convergent evolution favors certain patterns for predators.

Who would design humans to have been asleep for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS by the time they're seventy-five?

So not only do you not know shit, you don't know what a species is, either.
You are in way over your head, G-C. Clinging to your fucking bible will not help you float, either.
