E Team Kick-off

E Team

Let's make the creationist team really work to refute our arguments! We'll all learn something from this. Even if you don't believe the argument you're advancing, think of those that many who believe in evolution advance. Let's pray that our brothers and sisters have wisdom and give us a refutation that would knock your socks off!

I'll start our team off with one:

When Darwin did his studies in the Galapagos islands, he found four species of birds, each that came from a common ancestor. The interesting point is that the tiny island had four very distinct geographic regions, and these birds developed survival traits that would help them in each of these environments (rain forest, desert, mountain ....can't remember the fourth). The traits had to do with the type of beak that developed for the kind of food. There may have been other characteristics, such as need for water.

Surely, this example speaks to the idea of natural selection...survival of the fittest, so to speak. This is a key point to evolution, is it not? If that doesn't convince you, the fossil record shows an evolutionary growth in the length of a giraffe's neck. Obviously, the giraffes with the longer necks could reach more food to sustain themselves (higher in the trees). The ones with the longer necks survived, while the others died out.

Let's hear your refutation.
