Oh, well that was what evolutionist were teaching yesterday. They must have changed to something else now. Surprised you have not read that. Lol

Whales came from ancient rodents. Whoever you talked to doesn't know what they're talking about.

Life evolves to fit its environment. Living in water can have advantages.

Let's list things we DO KNOW about evolution. Things we can observe. 1. Animals reproduce after their kind. 2. Within a species there are variations. 3. Mutations occur, but are rarely ever useful and often fatal. 4. Natural selection only selects from information within the gene pool and never adds new information. In reality it narrows it.

1) This is the definition of a species. 2) This is why natural selection happens. 3) Mutations are not "often lethal". The vast majority are insignificant. Many times a significant mutation can be helpful or harmful depending on external factors 4) Mutation adds the variety. Natural selection determined which traits stay.

(I stand by that natural selection cannot create new info only select from what it in place.

It's not the only mechanism of evolution, though. If mutation existed without natural selection, evolution could not take place. They work hand in hand.

I believe if someone could prove the rate of positive mutations that are both beneficial and passed on they would learn that there has not been close to enough time to have all the variations we see of life on this planet. Even if this earth is 4.6 billion years old. I think they are saying it is even older now.
