Hi Ast, you seem to be reading posts selectively. Apologies if I've wrongly labelled you as a creationist. I should have just labelled you as someone who new nothing about evolutionary theory.
As I've said. Evolution is not directed by individuals, nothing [/B]decides[/B] to to evolve into something else. Even if it holds its breath until it turns blue.
4 foot 7 was not an uncommon height for humans in the fairly recent past. Indeed, even today some humans are 3 foot tall. Height does not seperate species. See here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species for more on what defines a species (yet again, no absolute truths).
There are no secrets in the fossil record being incomplete - the chances of an animal meeting its end in just the right conditions to leave a fossil, and that fossil surviving to be in a position to be discovered by someone who recognises it for what it is, is incredibly small - I'm amazed that we find as many as we do.
I argue for evolution because it fits so much of the evidence of the past, because it is a system that requires no external input to work. I also support because it is open to testing, it makes testable predictions and there is no suggestion that it can never be proved wrong either in detail or in general. There is still a lively debate about in scientific circles.
You have been dismissed by a number of A2K regulars because you are pushing a line that we see with monotonous regularity in these hallowed halls. If you had taken a moment to search this forum for 'evolution' that would have been obvious and you may have come up with a new angle to make the discussion interesting, for a change.
We react as if you have some idea how this discussion has gone in the past. We can't know what your intention is; you don't have a search engine [that we know about]. We do.
