I have no idea of what Rubicon meant by saying "More importantly to me there are aprrox 1.5 to 2million species of identified so far on earth but scientist know that between 5-7 million more have not been discovered. What do you think this fact does to the theory of evolution?"

Species of what? 5-7 million more what have not been discovered? What does that have to do with evolution?

May I give a couple of quick examples of evolution? The pupfish in Death Valley had evolved over tens of thousands of years so it can survive and thrive in 120 degree alkali waters. The cavefish has evolved without eyes and skin pigmentation through countless generations of living in pitch black caves.

What about all the fossils of 400 million years ago and even further back? Doesn't that prove the Earth is more than 6,500 years old? What about fossils of Neanderthal man, Zinjanthropos man, and other "cavemen"? We have evolved from them - some more than others.

At least, you can believe in evolution of a species, can't you? That would be a start in the right direction.
