It was noted by some they preferred this topic not carry on in that thread, so I'll respond here.

I have no problem with the definition of evolution pertaining to changes occurring in DNA over time. But while these changes may allow organisms to survive parasites, radiation, and changes in climate, it has nothing to do with an organism's physical superstructure. "Evolution" has been associated with the relation of men to apes and birds to lizards, as well as the existence of mythical creatures like Bigfoot.

The fallacy is in the long-preached "scientific" doctorine that all life on Earth is inexplicably descended from the same organism. What science can't seem to decide is whether drastic changes between genetic codes can occur within microsceconds (leading to the existence of several thousand different organisms within the span of only years) or if evolution requires "thousands of years" of evolution to distinguish one organism from another. As an example, while it's possible that ancient humans may have had a predilection toward animal behavior in order to survive the wilderness, I have seen no evidence to support the claim that humans and apes are "cousin species".
