Comment on Dr. Geraty clarifies his “Challenge” to literal 6-day creationism by Fillmer Hevener, Ed.D.
There are two kinds of evolution, micro and macro. Micro (change within families,species) is scientific; it can be demonstrated and replicated. We see it taking place every day within families. If we breed a white cow to a black bull, the offspring is likely to be colored black and white. This is CHANGE WITHIN FAMILIES, species.
However, macro evolution is an entirely different matter. It holds that families can cross-breed. That is, if a dog and a cat were to breed and produce offspring, this would demonstrate scientifically that evolution can cross family barriers. However, such crossing has not been demonstrated with living animals. Therefore, to argue that macro evolution took place (or is now taking place) is pure Alice-in-wonderland fiction, NOT SCIENCE. Cows always produce cows; sheep, sheep; and cats, cats. To call macro evolution science is like defending the position that the earth is flat. Both fly in the face of fact and true science. Remember, everything that parades as science, is not science! Remember the Piltdown man?

Dr. Geraty clarifies his “Challenge” to literal 6-day creationism
Dear Prof. Kent.
Thanks for taking time to respond to my questions.
My observations on your first response: The classic definition of macro evolution is simply a new species (family, kind) growing out of a former species (famaily, kind.)
Second response: You engage in speculation, not science. (Specualtion is interesting and fun, but let’s not call it science.)
Third response: You simply fail to answer my question.
Now, a thought on the word “day” in Genesis one and two. The Hebrew word “yom” means a 24 hour day, not a long period of time. Second, the fourth commandment points us back to Genesis one and two. The fourth commandment clearly identifies the days as normal days. How could man be expected to rest for millions of years on the 7th day? Or, how could he work millions of years since he doesn’t live this long? Looking at the use of the word “day” in its context and keeping in mind the meaning of the word in Hebrew, we can only rationally conclude that the “days” were normal days.
Theistic evolutionists, who try to combine Genesis and Darwinian evolution, fail miserably to the point of being absurd.
May our Lord bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon your.
Blessings, Fillmer

Dr. Stone,
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you can help me get out Biblical truths to all, including SDA’s. Have you read my article BEWARE THE TITHE TRAP? Blessings, Fillmer

Prof. Kent:
Please give me one verifiable example of macro evolution taking place among living species (no fudging with dead and speculative exmaples.) Verifiable would also include verifiable examples of replication.
