Young Earth Creationism

PresentationsFossil evidence In the fossil record: There are snapshots from the past in which, if arranged from oldest to earliest, illustrate a panorama of evolutionary change overtime. The snapshots may be scattered in places and have bits missing, but that which we are left with clearly supports the claim that we originated from different animals, evolving overtime.Similarities between humans and related living organismsDuring and since Darwin was born, people have been studying animals. Scientists, lately, have been discovering that we humans share DNA with others as our former selves (Or at least some)(Monkeys)[1].I await my opponent's set of arguments. RebuttalsBefore rebutting your arguments, I'd like to officially declare your resolution phrase accepted in this debate."According to Modern Evolutionary Theory, the human race has existed for ~200,000 years.(2) Within this time frame, and at the current rate of genetic degradation, humans would have gone extinct over 100 times!(3) This paradox is a problem for Modern Evolutionary Theory because the theory posits such a massive time frame of human existence. It is not a problem for YEC, however, because it only posits a time frame of ~6,000 years." If we assume both theories were true, a contradiction entails, seeing as, according to the Modern Evolutionary Theory, we originated as a different animal (In other words, we were amongst one of many OTHER kinds of species), evolving overtime into what we are now, while according to YEC (Young Earth Creationism), a monotheistic God (Whether that would be the Christian God, E.T.C) created us. Not only that, but, according to MET (Modern Evolutionary Theory (Abbreviation)), we humans have existed for 200,000 years, while according to YEC, we existed for 6,000 years. So, therefore, to conclude from that, it IS a problem for YEC.(Apologies. I'm a pedant) A theory doesn't posit anything; It is an inanimate noun.Also, so what if the people who developed MET posit such a LONG time frame? You have never really explained that."That creature is the most common arthropod found fossilized, by far. In 2010, a fossilized Ostracod was found in the Cambrian layer.(4) It was fossilized exceptionally well, and almost idential to living Ostracods. According to Modern Evolutionary Theory, this means that while fish were changing into land mammals, and lizards were changing into birds, Ostracods were not changing into anything... for over 400 million years! This is not consistent with the most basic definition of Evolution: “change over time.” Modern Evolutionary Theory uses the label “Evolutionary Stasis” to explain the phenomenon of the Ostracod, but this makes no sense: “Evolutionary Stasis” is an oxymoron; “stasis” means “no change.”" Yes, indeed; A contradiction entails because evolution is defined as "Change overtime", while stasis is defined as "no change". However, this now, is based on observation; If we observe, and realize that Ostracods don't evolve overtime into us, then that would be stasis. However, that isn't evidence to support the claim that YEC is a more viable model than MET. How so? Those who have developed Evolution NEVER proclamed that ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPECIES (Other than humans) evolve overtime into us. Sources [1] http://www.sciencedaily.com......
