I love it when people show animals exhibiting the plasticity built into their DNA (any good design fit a changeable world is adaptable) to price evolution, and yet they end up with a slightly different colored version of the same thing that can still breed just fine with the original

Darwin is my god and we have done all we can to limit his power in the modern era. It truly is a shame.
Natural selection is king. Let it run free. Let it cleanse the world of idiocy.

Micro evolution vs macro evolution needs to be pointed out.
Micro evolution are small changes in a species to adapt to different conditions. Those have been observed, and nearly all intelligent design proponents would not argue against micro evolution. But macro evolution is positing something we haven't observed and that seems extreme... certain species developing totally new organs as a kind of mutation (mutations are typically a bad thing). The problem is waved off by giving enough time, but our fossil records don't show evidence for those kinds of mutations. Doesn't mean they are definitely wrong, but the concrete evidence is not there.

A PPP survey conducted in 2015 found that 49% of Republicans reject evolution completely, while 37% do not.
Now I'm supportive of many aspects of evolution, but not completely, especially in regard to humans.

"Observing" macro evolution as described would require the observer to live an awfully fricking long time. [quote]

The irony of course being that republicans favor a system which seems, for the most part, to embrace the fundamental forces of Darwinism while progs seek to undermine it at virtually every opportunity.
Affirmative action being a good example.

ID in a nutshell (emphasis on nut): Life is so biologically complex that it couldn’t have hapoened randomly.

Funny meme, but "descended from" and specifically bred are 2 different situations. Who thinks that a pug is the result of natural selection?

This isn't true.
We see viruses and bacteria evolve all the time. The same mutations give them selective advantages for survival. It's why developing vaccines for some viruses is a challenge.
