Why is the theory of evolution considered a threat by certain Christians?

That's a living 'missing link' clearly between the two.

If you want to just talk Hominids, there's these fossil skulls for a nice progression.

And note, that there is just *some* of the links, we have dozens. Here is a bigger- but still not exhaustive- chart with more text, and here is a different one with more. We find more links in this chain, and others, on a regular basis.

(Futurama even did a joke on this, where someone made this argument, then when one was pointed out, another was added, cut to nighttime with a chart of ancestors- *real* ones, mind you- that goes off the screen and is 20+ long)

Also like I posted upthread, there's a species known as the London Underground Mosquito. It's direct ancestor is known, but due to being isolated in the UK subway system and able to live much further north, and go through many generations year-round while it's originator species is seasonal, it can no longer interbreed with it's relative.

And it's evolved in to it's own species due to the circumstances of a human-made system that's existed for under 200 years and which greatly favored divergence (isolated population, year-round food source, short generations).

Whether you're talking fossils or examining living creatures or checking DNA, the evidence is plentiful that evolution (btw, 'macroevolution' is an arbitrary term with no scientific basis) both exists and continues to function.

I will respond at length on this later. I'm driving. I do appreciate your willingness to debate and to refrain from condescending remarks while doing so. I respect that.

My response wasn't intended for you then. It was intended to all the atheists in this thread. Just because I posted right after you doesn't mean my response was intended for you. Sorry if it appeared that way.

And, do you really think a God would lower Himself to have offspring with the offspring of an ape?

No, I think most atheists here believe God doesn't exist so...

Why don't you come to the vs forum anymore?

Do you need to distract quan to protect star from embarrassing himself? Are you star's special internet bro?

LOL. Hey dumb***, I have Quan on ignore. Which is where I'm stronly considering putting u cause I'm getting tired of your trolling. I said that I was putting him on ignore earlier in thread. Can you not read? Nevermind, don't answer that. You're a liberal so I think I already know the answer. LOL. No one is protecting me from anything, dude. I don't need anyone's "protection" unlike you weak liberals do. 👆

You already said you put me on ignore, like a coward.

Still won't answer the question? Very cowardly indeed. Dont worry, your special bro-friend will protect you with his sharp wit.

Woah clever 👆

Have to wonder if Star handles people with different views and questions he can't answer in real life the same way he does here.

You mean by plugging his ears with his fingers and running off while weeping and screaming for someone to call the police? Probably.
