You're forgetting something, Eta. A lot of creationists believe that "microevolution," whatever that means, is a reality and that "macroevolution" is what they are arguing against. In this case, they would argue that a vegetarian snake gaining venom to paralyze its prey would be an example of "microevolution."
​
I was surprised to not see creationists try to pull this argument more often.

..........Nor to refute the fact.
Um... buz, the burden of proof always falls on the side that claims the positive. Otherwise, people could claim that there are green goblins running around and we would have to accept that as a fact until someone can disprove that they don't exist... which would be a mess because how the hell do you refute something that doesn't exist in the first place?

Ok Lam, which positive posts of my ideological adversaries have they positively proven? Please specify.
Since when have you proven to us the existence of god, angels, the spiritual dimension, etc...?
