Furthermore, I think the immense pressure from the flood (which every ancient society has an account of) would explain fossils etc. Also, there is no fossil record or any evidence to support evolution in the traditional sense....no cross species evolution. I do believe in adaptation. For example, God created the first dog and the species adapted into the many breeds we now have.

BTW, I do homeschool and I will be teaching my sons all sides of the issues equally.
Hmm...Christian fundementalists believe the Earth is only around 6-7 thousand years old too to fall in with biblical teachings, despite science saying it is billions of years old which I believe.

When you get past the dogma, life makes more sense. Live and let live!
