I'm sorry, our problem isn't with evolution, it is with incompetent teachers and outdated textbooks? It isn't just "outdated" textbooks. There is clear plain false information or deceptive descriptions in the textbooks. For example the way they explain the evolution of horses. The explanation goes something like this: Horses evolved from having 5 toes, to 3 toes....and eventually to hooves. (example out of one of my own current textbooks). Yet in north-eastern Oregon, the three-toed Neohipparion and one-toed Pliohippus were found in the same layer of rock strata. Then there is the theory that horses were once as small as dogs and they got bigger as they evolved.... uh huh...  |

I have a better idea, lets discuss the Jacob Sheep. Interesting indeed. Genesis 30, the earliest writing of selective breeding. The Jacob Sheep Breeder Association www.jsba.org/history.htm |

Jacob speaking to his father-in-law Laban
from Genesis 30:30-43
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

The fossil record allows us to trace the history of the modern-day horse Equus. The earliest fossils in this lineage is Hyracotherium , which was the size of a dog, with cusped low-crowned molars, four toes on each front foot, three on each hind foot--all adaptations for forest living. When forests were replaced by grasslands, the intermediates were selected for durable grinding teeth, speed, etc. with an increase in size and decrease in toes. Living organisms resemble most recent fossils in the line of descent; underlying similarities allow us to trace a line of descent over time.

The Jacob Sheep Breeder Association www.jsba.org/history.htmThis is supposed to disprove evolution? You realize this (I'm not even entirely sure what you even are trying to say but you think it means something so let's run with it) actually supports evolution, right? |
