What you overlook is that this is an ongoing thing. Each new > fossil adds to our understanding. Yep, what they want is a set of strata that was never disturbed, never involved in any upheavals where everyone laid down on top of his daddy to die. Even then they would probably say they were only cousins. (Paraphrased and plagiarized from Orson Scott Card) Of course, one question I've never had suitably answered, is why couldn't God use evolution to create life? When you write a program do you start out fresh everytime, or do you reuse the tools, routines, code, etc which you have already produced? If you have a program that adds numbers, are you going to write a whole new program to multiply, or simply take your existing program and adjust it to the new criteria you have for it? Faith is wonderful, but understanding HOW is so much better for the advancement of human knowledge. Otherwise we would never have advanced past the most rudimentary civilization. It is our understanding of why and how things work that have allowed us to advance. Faith alone? You know the answer before you ask the question, so why bother to learn anything?
