If the offspring has changed (improved or not) in anyway from the parents and God did not do it ( even creationists don't say he personally designs every single person) , then that leaves rom for another explanation.

If there can be even the smallest improvement without God's designing it directly, then the path from ooze to human is possible without God. You just need time to 'add' the improvements together.

The exact definition of evolution is irrelevant (though nice to know).

The fact is you do believe in evolutions main premise. Improvement in design from a system - not a creator.

4) The dinosaurs, which are said to have lived 100 million years ago have been unearthed with soft tissue/proteins embedded in their bones, which indicates that they could not possibly be millions of years old. Also, ancient art and sculptures have depicted dinosaurs on cave walls and on art.

Ancient art like that seen in Lascaux France depict animals like the wooly mammoth, and the smilodon. These are not dinosaurs.

Man, I need to learn not to reply in the middle of a thread. :oops:

I have no idea why they could not possibly be millions of years old.

Insects have been found, intact, in amber for hundreds of years. Mamoths have been found in ice etc. It is very obvious the genetic material can last a very very long time in the right conditions.

What this shows however is that fossilization can happen in different ways. The fact that finding genetic material in a fossil is so rare actually supports the fact it is so old. If it was a common process and age was not a factor we would find it with virtually every fossil. Dig up a grave and see for yourself!

You have to support such claims as
which indicates that they could not possibly be millions of years old
with evidence. Even one case of genetic material surviving past normal decaying periods (I have given you two case) clearly shows decay can be slow and possible halted entirely by natural processes. It would not be a hard stretch to imagine a third.

1. Nucleic acids are the genetic material in any living form
