Lots to reply to here.  First and foremost, this song totally blew me away!  Never had been exposed to the Christian Cash!  WOW!  Yuppers, +10 all the way.

I think some of y'all are confusing Natural Selection with Evolution.  Natural Selection is the process whereby a species changes over time to react to changes in the environment.  What Darwin showed in the Galapagos finches, for example, was that one species could, through natural selection vary greatly, so much so in fact that they lost the ability to be inter-fertile.  That is the classic definition of species.  Same thing can be found in the Leopard frog population on the East Coast of the US.  Frogs from Florida and Main are NOT inter-fertile, and yet if you follow the frogs northward, each population is inter-fertile with its neighbors.  Another example of Natural Selection producing new species by the classic definition. 

The idea that God created a really good set of critters, with the ability to spread out and populate an ever changing world, well, that pretty much defines both "Intelligent design" and "Creation"...and allows room for Natural Selection!  Why do we have to fight about this?  Natural Selection is a fact of life, like gravity.  I can demonstrate it in a few weeks with fruit flies.  We can see it happen over a little longer time when we look at the change in the relative numbers of black and grey squirrels in a population, especially as it relates to hunting pressure.  Here is an interesting article:  http://www.woodlandhabitat.com/articles/black-squirrels.htm  Check that one out.  For many years it was "good" to be a black squirrel because biologists thought it was a new species...so greys could be shot but not blacks.  (Reality, black is just one of the possible color mutations in the Grey squirrel.)  With hunting pressure on the greys and not the blacks, there were more blacks to breed, and so there came to be a preponderance of black squirrels...then when the genetics were shuffled out, the hunting ban was lifted.  Now there are about equal numbers of both color phases.

Let's agree that populations can change over time, call it Natural Selection, teach it as a fact in our schools.  I wish we could also teach the truth of Creation in our schools...that would be nice. 

Oh, one more little wrinkle...if you read Genisus, you will notice that the order of creation is exactly the order prescribed by "evolution", first fishes, then....and if you look at embreology, you will find that the development of a fetus exactly follows the steps outlined in Genesis.  At one point mammals have gills, tails, etc. 

I really believe that God is having a good laugh at our stumbling around in the dark, trying to say EXACTLY what happened/happens!  :) 

Y'all have a great 2012, may the Lord bless you, may the sun shine on you, may your crops get sufficient rain, may your herds increase, may your life be happy and may you find contentment and peace in the love of our Lord and the knowledge that He has paid the price, you only need to accept his gift...that is what Christmas is all about!  :)
