[...] For example an amazing set of fossil footprints belonging to an early tetrapod was recently discovered in Poland that predates the oldest known body fossils of tetrapods by 18 million years. This means that thousands of generations of tetrapods were living and dying during 18 million years of Earth history that we have so far not found evidence of. Then of course there are whole groups of animals that we know must have lived on Earth since before the Cambrian period for which there is no known fossil record at all. [...]

It is probably easier to teach a pidgeon chess at a grandmaster level than it is to teach a creationist think to about religion in a logical and sensible manner.

Q. How many creationists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. One million and eleven.
One to change the bulb when no one is looking.
Ten to make sure no one is looking.
And a million to claim the light bulb is eternal and can never burn out.

Hi
You are clearly very knowledgable in the field of biology.
How do we answer the scientifically accurate criticism that all creatures, single cell, multicell, vertibrates, invertibrates etc. can only reproduce their own species within the confines of their own gene pool. That mutations are always either useless or detremental, and natural selection (survival of the fittest) only serves to reduce variety in species.
Decades of experiments and observations seem to have well established these facts.
Please give, as far as possible a simple reply, as I am an engineer not a biologist, but am very interested in these things.
Kind Regards
Martin

It seems to me……….
If one was to beleive that god created all life on earth at relatively the same time then the quantity of species just after the creation should be equal to the number of years since the creation times the average rate of extinctions per year plus all present, living species.
The end result has got to be rediculesly unreal. The total number of species alive today has to be a slight fraction of the begining quantity.
Some one should plug some numbers into this simple creationist formula and see what happens. ……….and they say that the theory of evolution has gaps………..
