Re: Typical?
Saying that natural selection did it over time, is not filling any gaps.

These do.
Also, we have mountains of evidence demonstrating that natural selection is responsible for shaping the genomes of species. We aren't just saying it. We can point to the evidence.
If an observable and testable natural process does not fill gaps in explanations, then what in the world are you asking for?

Your inability to tell us why we would expect gaps between two specific species groups but not two others is the evidence. Creationists have never been able to explain what pattern of derived features we should see in living and fossil species if species were created separately. The only explanation that predicts a specific pattern is evolution, and only with a predicted pattern can we identify gaps.

Re: Typical?
Whatever creationists can or cannot explain or have not explained, does not excuse you from making correct assumptions instead of bad and false ones.

Re: Typical?
Assumptions about how life should look like if species were created seperately. All those are speculation and have zero objective value.

Re: Typical?
So the nested hierarchy is the only pattern we see in life. So evolution is evidenced once again.
You can provide no evidence or acceptable logic to show any alternative.
Evolution is the only real game in town.

Hi sensei,
Assumptions about how life should look like if species were created seperately. All those are speculation and have zero objective value.
That sounds an awful lot like an admission that creationism and ID make no testable predictions. That would make them unfalsifiable. This is, to put it mildly, not a plus, especially if you want these ideas to be taken seriously in the scientific world, where all hypotheses must be falsifiable.
Or perhaps I have misunderstood. If so, please clarify; what predictions does your model of special creation make? How do these predictions differ from those of the mainstream model?

Hi Phat,
Nope. No apple pie for diabetics like us!

Re: Typical?
Whether or not you think a different model if falsifiable, is no excuse for making speculative claims and call it science.
