I found a video that had a simpler version of the site she gave me if you want to see it.
It is about two Christians on a channel of tv and one of them is an ivestigator in a series. Today, he is going to try to debate a professor on Evolution and ends up proving evolution more than disproving it.

Open question here: If horses and giraffes share a common ancestor, how could the intermittent being survive.
It doesn't matter if it started with a horse or a giraffe, I'm just wondering how a being whose neck is too long to run but too short to reach tree foliage could survive long enough to keep evolving into something else.

Giraffes didn't evolve from horses, and horses didn't evolve from giraffes. They had a common ancestor. They are like cousins. The neck just gradually became longer in giraffes.
And giraffes actually run very fast, faster than lions actually.

natural selection is disprovable and so it is a scientific fact.

evolution is a sacred cow and whoever raises a question, no matter how impregnable their background, is excommunicated as a heretic from the halls of science. seriously! where else can you find all debate foreclosed other than on this issue, and abortion?

which makes me suspect there is more politics than science involved, right now, for us.

i am inclined to SUPPORT evolution as a working theory, but i am disgusted at how whenever there is any attempt to discuss deviation from the grand scheme (gradualism versus sudden mutation for instance) it is quickly shut down!

let us freely exchange ideas and opinions without being tagged as heretics, please?

Can you give an example, or did you just finish watching Expelled?

Gradualism vs sudden mutation is not deviation from the grand scheme, it's a detail. I think you're talking about punctuated equilibrium, which has not been "quickly shut down" but is still being somewhat debated.

Every new idea in science is bombarded with criticism, and if it survives, it is accepted. It's called peer review and it's an excellent form of quality control.
