"In order for a species to somehow evolve into another still requires a decision and how does the species properly come to be?" Once again, I stress that no decision is made. Natural selection is not a conscience process in which the organisms "decide" whether or not they survive. They either live or die, not of their will. "If only one new animal comes from parents of another and live with its parents species then how do more of the new species survive? Would it not just mate with the old species and start to give off spring of the old species?" Yes this is a possibility, but: 1) Even if it does just mate with the regular species, the DNA pool will still be altered, especially if the mutation is a dominant gene. 2) As mentioned before, the organism could become isolate from the main group. This way, it will be able to form its own gene pool. 3) The regular animals could die (natural selection) off, leaving only the "mutants" alive. "And if this is true what made evolution to choose humans to be intelligent and not like the other animals giving us the ability of language" I would like to note that other animals also have the ability of language. Some as complex (if not more) as our own, and can even learn our language. For example dolphins. "Researchers in the United States and Great Britain have made a significant breakthrough in deciphering dolphin language in which a series of eight objects have been sonically identified by dolphins. Team leader, Jack Kassewitz of SpeakDolphin.com, "spoke" to dolphins with the dolphin"s own sound picture words. Dolphins in two separate research centers understood the words, presenting convincing evidence that dolphins employ a universal "sono-pictorial" language of communication. The team was able to teach the dolphins simple and complex sentences involving nouns and verbs, revealing that dolphins comprehend elements of human language" http://www.speakdolphin.com... My opponent's next paragraph addresses Moses' "meeting" with God and what he was told by God. First of all, I mean no disrespect but, I do not believe religious texts are credible sources in this situation. Mostly because they have NO confirmation other than themselves (for the most part). My opponent brings up that "Sedimentary rock layers on all continents prove that once earth was covered with water." That is completely consistent with the scientific theory of the formation of the Earth. So far my opponent has not attacked Evolution, nor has he done much to prove Creationism. He has only been using "Socratic questioning". So far my case has been relatively unorganized, just a jumble of facts. I will attempt to tie them together to prove my case. My contentions in Round 2 show that: 1) All organisms on Earth have a common ancestor. (It is evident, since we are so similar genetically) 2) Changes CAN, in fact, occur over time. While micro-evolution can occur (and can be easily noticed), given that life has been on Earth for billions of years, that is ample time for more drastic changes to occur. The changes simply stack up. For example, the evolution of the horse hoof. That is only one small section of time for a quite noticeable change. After that, what if the organism grows bigger? (It did, if one takes a look at the skeletal evidence). Then maybe a longer neck, different tail etc. The possibilities are endless and each would just stack onto the previous to make the organism even more unique from its predecessors. I believe that Evolution (and the scientific theory of the formation of the Earth, for that matter) are far more logical than the Creationist theory simply because of the vast oceans of evidence and clues. Everything from the fossil record, to DNA tests, to carbon dating proves the Evolution theory.
