Wow, the things evolutionists, concocted, say, and believe to make their nonsense theory "fit".

There is just no end to what they will make up to make things work.

Steve Jones is confusing human evolution with human adaptation. Surely, trying times lead to adaptation to meet harsh conditions. Equating the preposterous notion that evolution could be observed in a short 6000 year period dies not make sense. But then, successive mutations passed to "fit" offspring and eventually appearing as a new species with the "fit" offspring disappearing makes no sense either. Where are the descendants of each successive, mutated offspring that ocurred between species?

The only nonsense is believing the earth has only been around for six thousand years and taking the bible too literally. Scientists rely on facts, not faith in fairy tales

In the last 6000 years humans have evolved, or adapted a heck of allot.

The easiest indication is the height of the general population. Humans avg. height has shot up at least a foot in that time.

I always love to read the religious freaks that try to discredit science for religion. It's like watching a car spinning it's tires in the mud...
