Evilution as it is told by creationists is political in nature, they wish to convert weak minded individuals easily swayed by smooth talking preachers who make points not easily refuted by the uneducated.
This is a deliberate scam to build up political pressure making it easier to bring law suits in the US and elsewhere.
Evilution is invented by creationists and is of political nature. Evilutionists (those creationists who know nothing about science) wish to convert weak minded individuals easily swayed by smooth talking that makes points not easily refuted by the uneducated. One like you.

FF:"Evilution is invented by creationists and is of political nature. "
The real issue is not evolution/evilution; it's really about the secular public school system in America. Some people in American still haven't fully accepted the principle of the separation of church and state. Church-funded schools can teach anything they want.
For those who may not know the history, here is the gist of it: in 1925, school teacher John Scopes was convicted of teaching something at variance with Scripture, which was at that time mandated in the public schools in Tennessee, which is Bible Belt territory. His conviction was overturned on a technicality and the right wing is still chafing. It is a peculiarly American Protestant issue. Mainstream Christians, incl the Vatican, have accepted that evolution really happened and is not 'just a theory'.

ARE PEPPERED MOTHS EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION?
ANSWER: NO
It is just evidence of a population change.

I agree, with a couple of minor tweaks.
Creatures like crocodiles and sea turtles may not have outwardly changed [much]
in hundreds of millions of years.
However they will have been in evolutionary arms races with bacteria and viruses
that whole time, as well as needing to adapt to changing atmospheric content..
So they will have changed and evolved over that period... just not in ways captured
in the fossil record.

No, but it can be supported by the fossil record, and indeed it is.
Tell us, how does the fossil record support creationism?
The fact that these fossil skeletons look just the same as the skeletons of the modern creatures of today supports the creation model of kinds reproducing after their own kind.

"Fossils are created by God and is placed where they are found by scientists exactly where God wanted them to find it."

many new forms of life "suddenly" appeared during the cambrian explosion. You'd also
have to admit then, that a large number of "kinds" died out in that same period. In fact, if
you consider the sheer number of life forms that came to be and died out during this era,
an era supposedly of six days, you'd have to ask how precise that god of yours is, when it
comes to creation.
God: Damn! No that doesn't work. Let's think this almost identical life form into existence
instead, and let the first one die. Nope doesn't work for me either... [repeat thousands of
times]
As for second point, the fact that you've managed to find a few animals whose skeletal
structure haven't changed much over the eons, doesn't by a long shot negate all the
thousands of fossils that do show evidence of change over time (both of which are
perfectly consistent with the theory of evolution).
Do you believe, as some creationists apparently do, that it was the flood that took out all
these forms of life now extinct (dinosaurs included) and left them to fossilise once the
flood was over?

Originally posted by RJHindsDo you really believe there was such a period in the history of Earth as the Cambrium Period?
You apparently don't understand what is meant by the Cambrian Explosion. So here is a brief video introduction for you:

When did that happen? At the year 3 000 BC? Or when?
