That would mean that, in a few thousand years, entire new species of large mammals would appear monthly. And yet no one seems to have noticed it happening.
Actually you can see exactly what you are talking about cats and dogs have been bread by humans for a long time to give them traits that are desirable for the humans.
No, we're talking about 1-3 new species appearing every month, not one or two every 20,000 years or so. For creationism to be right, there would have been hyperevolution of a kind never observed. And no one ever thought it was worth mentioning that new species of mammal popped up week after week.
The Barbarian observes:
Do you see why reasonable people don't buy the story?
You know, I've never heard that phrase, without taffy being distributed right afterwards.
You assume that someone could not be intelligent, reasonable, if they don't agree with your point of view.
Explain to us how it would be reasonable for new species of mammal to evolve every month, for thousands of years, and no one thought it was worth mentioning.
How can this lead to any kind of understanding or growth in knowledge.
Well, I would certainly be willing to listen to your explanation how that happened.
If you are not willing to be open to other ideas and at treat those who follow those ideas with a little respect then there is no point to a discusion.
Well, maybe I'm missing something. Tell us how you think people didn't notice.
