I may have been wrong in some of the points but show me where I went wrong with the following:

1) "evolutionists failed to convingly demonstrate evolution based on fossils records"

-show me the fossil records that support your evolutionary claims (note that even intact fossils are a poor representation of the past/lineage - because statistically insiginificant numbers are fossilized; also are their better means of dating bones than carbon dating which we all know to be inaccurate?)

2) Speciation is a new science with scientists in tremendous disagreement at which point a organism can be classified as a new species and that they disagree that this has been observed. And yet this is the crux of true evolution as it relates to species evolving.

-Show me that this is not true. Are you saying that scientists are in agreement on this?

3) Cells can divide and change a million times without ever becoming anything more than a single cell organism.

-Is this not true? Show me evidence that suggests species derive from single cells

4) It is implausible for simple life forms to exist in harsh climates and to develop into more complex life forms. The statistically probability of this being able to happen is virtually none existant unless the environment is more or less hospitable to life for millions of years.

-Is this or is this not true?


5) Just for the record, do the following two statements mean that the same thing or do they have slightly different connotations:

a) A creature mutated into another creature
b) A creature evolved into another creature

They mean the same thing but when we speak we usually use one over the other depending on if the result is interpreted as a positive or negative change, no? This was just to illustrate why I was using the term mutation to denote negative rather that positive or benign changes.

You've tried to pick apart my natural selection point which was not something I was arguing over to begin with. In that respect things do change. If you want to conclude that the myriad of life we see on earth incuding humans derived from this process that's your belief but you can't reasonably expect it to be plausible for many to swallow given what little we know and our crude methods of studying the past.
