Well, Mom, have no fear, I won't become a Muslim from my Islamic studies class, but my anthropology teacher is trying like crazy to get me to buy into some half arsed theory of evolution.
Just for the record, I believe that God could have used macro Evolution, I don't however believe he did. I have a hard time believing that God needed to.
Here is my biggest problem with it: If we are to believe that there is survival of the fittest, then those in between prototypes would have had no chance at life, they would have been killed off before being able to mate and move along the changing genes. For Example
If the gene for the opposable thumb on the monkey foot were to transform into the gene for the straight toe one the human foot through years of evolving, all the monkey/humans born with the toe slightly bendable but not bending enough, would not have been able to hunt for insects in the trees or walk upright on the ground. They would have had no balance or grasping ability. If they did live long enough to mate, they wouldn't have been able to actually do their monkey business of mating...
So, all of you who know how to defend evolution, explain this for me. I'm not saying you can't, I'm just saying I don't see it. And my Anthro teacher CANNOT teach it. Anyway, peace and love!

You're the first person to post about the lack of intimacy a primate evolving opposable thumbs would have. And for that, I commend you. Seriously tho, I don't see why God would use anything other than the cut and dry 7 day theory. If there were any time longer than a typical day, all that depends on night life would die, and vice versa.
