• EVOLUTION:
  ...as it is used in this web site does NOT simply mean "Change." The usage here is with reference to what used to be referred to as "The General Theroy Of Evolution." Herein we are concerned with the following:
  
  

  • THE CHANGING OF ONE KIND OF LIFE INTO ANOTHER.

  (Non-Living Organic Molucles to Single Celled Life to Multi-Cellular Invertebrates to Fish to Amphibian to Reptile to Mammal to Primate to Man.)

  
  
  

  THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOMETHING TOTALLY "NEW."

  An eye where there was no eye before; A feather where there was no feather; a wing where there was no wing; the Woodpeckers tongue from an ordinary birds tongue; etc.

• CREATION:
  ... a period in the past where a supreme being - God- made the universe, sun, planets, moon, stars and all that we find in or on them.

  • also included is the setting in motion of the laws of mathemathics, physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, and the natural sciences.
  • Creation includes the original forming of the plants and animals with their ordinal [i e defining] characteristics complete.
    This is NOT equivalent to saying that "No Change" can occur after the creation events. The Creator utilized a complex genetic code found with in every cell of of an organism. This genetic code allows for great variation within a given "kind." However, very definite limits on the degree of variation that can occur are set with in the genetic code itself.
  • The nature of creation is such that it would inherently [not deceptively] include an "apparent age."

• "KIND":
  ...is not synomonous with the biologists "species," "genera," or "class;" albeit it has a very specific meaning. A "kind" as used herein is made up of those animials which are capable of breeding and producing fertile offspring. This is generally broader than the biologists species and less inclusive than class.
  
  Note, it is not based on whether they actually do breed in nature, but whether if such a mating occurred the resultant offspring would be non-sterile. All dogs would fall in one kind which also would include wolves etc.
