Not really. If evolving from a species, meant the extinction of that
species, there wouldn't be an evolutionary tree. It would be an
evolutionary telephone pole with no branches.

Take a look at the evolution of the horse. Most of the species that
branched off, died off.

Yeah, but I think that is the fate of most species. It's the rare
species that endures. In the evolutionary scale of things, primates are
relatively recent. They still have a long way to go, before it can be
said they endured.

Mass extinctions allow for a lot of evolution. Something else evolves to
fill the open niche.

I read where cockroaches are moving up to displace Republicans. The
roaches have evolved. The Republicans have gone the other way.

And magots have already replaced the dims.

Many of them also keep Toyota and Honda in business.

I stand corrected, I was thinking of donkey versus horse and not mule.
Donkey is a different lineage than the horse.

Not really. Branches occur all the time in evolution. Some ape branches
evolved faster than others, some others evolved and became exinct. Our
own, not extinct yet but our KT or ET hasn't arrived yet.

4.5 billion years of earth history tells me with certainty that in just 1
million years it will not be the same.

What? You don't accept the dates of cretinism, er, creationism?

Now you are talking. Imagine explaining that theory to a bunch of half apes
with a 500 word vocabulary say 2000 or 5000 years ago.

Personally, I think they have that big bang theory close but not quite
right. Why cannot the universe have big bangs all over the place as mater
goes through the cycle of creation, decay and then cycled through black
holes. When black holes get starved with no mater to fuel it's growth, it
then "big bangs" in it's area of space to restart the creation of mater all
over again.

And if god said he created the world in 7 days, who the hell are we to think
7 days to god is 7 days to us? Try explaining a billion years (or more) to
a tribe of barbarians where few can read.

Personally, I think a unified theory where creationism, and evolution are
both right. Try explaining evolution to a monkey. But better understood
with a good understanding of biology and evolution, evolution is gods way of
creation then it fits.

Just that the bible (or other religious document) can't be dogmatically
taken in strict context of the present, it is best understood in the frame
of mind of the time it was written. A feat well beyond your average
religious nutball's cranial capacity, in fact beyond most of mankind.
