Eve coming from Adam? You have to do violence to Scripture to try to deal with this one.Yes, I think that is fine for a Catholic school. I do not see evolution as being in conflict with creation.
When a lineage split happens there is one that that becomes more brittle in terms of its ability to adapt. Without this adaptability it cannot cope with environmental changes as its parents were. This leads to extinction.Buffalo - I queried you as above a while back. You may have overlooked this question?
He isn’t. It was His choice to do it as He revealed.God is omnipotent, why should He limit himself to a human idea of time.
Over and over another poster would demonstrate what textbooks still are teaching about evolution and the continued flaws. Educational science is still not current.For that error to be taught in a public school shocks and saddens me. When was this? Knowing where would be nice as well, but if you want to keep that to yourself for privacy concerns I will respect it.
You deny the observed complexity of the cell? You deny the complexity of the DNA code? That is the current science.which you simply deny with no real basis.
It was an early (1920’s) theory which was superseded within 10 years. Religious people are the only ones still clinging to the distinction.As I pointed out in an earlier post the distinction between macro and micro was by an evolutionist.
Your ecoli reference is not correct. In actuality the bacteria have gained a temporary benefit by breaking genes which confers a long term survival disadvantage. I refer to this as devolution.
Not even the only example.
Goatsbeard was observed to evolve into a new species in the wild after being imported to America:

Fruit flies were observed to speciate:

More than once:
Species of Drosophila | Science
Ferns were observed evolving from 2 sets of chromosomes (diploid) to 4 (tetraploid).

Yeah yeah, macro is just extrapolated micro. That is what they say. Well no, it does not happen. In fact, what we are observing is devolution.Religious people are the only ones still clinging to the distinction.
And they became? Damaged fruit flies with useless features resulting in death.Fruit flies were observed to speciate:

The first example showed the flies became able to eat from apple trees instead of hawthorn trees.And they became? Damaged fruit flies with useless features resulting in death.
That is adaptation, aka micro-evolution. No one argues against micro.The first example showed the flies became able to eat from apple trees instead of hawthorn trees.
So you defeat yourself then. If species are “manmade distinctions” and not something inherent in nature, then when you define the micro/macro difference in terms of new species, the distinction is just as manmade and arbitrary.Remember, species is a manmade distinction.
Rewrite: Ferns were observed adapting from two sets to four.
They became a separate species, and could not breed with their hawthorn-eating ancestors.That is adaptation, aka micro-evolution. No one argues against micro.
Lineage splittingThey became a separate species, and could not breed with their hawthorn-eating ancestors.
Taxonomics is a manmade classification system. Speciation is the loss of a former ability once had. The organism becomes more brittle and less adaptable.So you defeat yourself then. If species are “manmade distinctions” and not something inherent in nature, then when you define the micro/macro difference in terms of new species, the distinction is just as manmade and arbitrary.
Find a single reputable scientific source that agrees with this definition.Speciation is the loss of a former ability once had. The organism becomes more brittle and less adaptable.
So you do not think that losing the ability to reproduce is not a loss of ability once had?Find a single reputable scientific source that agrees with this definition.
