Because that force, called evolution, has no mind. It wouldn't care if
a species died out or not. It is blind, deaf, and dumb. Would you
expect a rock to create a computer? Of course not. Then how can you
expect evolution like that rock, (blind, deaf, and dumb), to create
marvelous complex structures like a human body that can produce
babies. 

We are talking about very complex creations and relating them to the
skills of a rock.

It doesn't 'know' anything. It is just responding to the
meteorological physics at that time. Can we say a similar thing for
evolution? Not at all. 

We keep having hurricanes when the physics are right. But if evolution
created all the life on earth, why isn't it still doing it? Have the
evolutionary physics that created all the life forms, just stopped?

And what about planets and moons? If evolution existed, why not so
much of a microbe exists, where on the earth it went bananas.

There are many life forms that have gone extinct. So the forces of
physics that originally created them no longer exists? When have you
ever seen natural physical laws cease to exist?

Both of those things likely came from the same source. Its like a
giraffe giving birth to a rabbit. It makes no sense. 

But the main problem with their THEORY is the golden rule that in most
cases mutations produce deformities, and  that they usually die before
their time. That would be like taking 1 step forward, and 2 steps
backward. Kind of hard to get to your destination that way.

Some artists show the Neanderthals as ape-like creatures with the IQ
of an olive. But is that really how they were? Not according to some
of the 'higher' educations

The "caveman" that artists draws is not supported in the Bible. When
God created Adam, he probably looked like us today. Adam was no olive.
He was given a full language (probably ancient Hebrew) and he even
recited poetry. See Genesis 2:23.

Many things about Neanderthals are like modern humans including a
brain the size of ours.

In the Bible, Adam was created with a brain. All his parts were
created at once. 

You can't expect to get to the truth, if you put limitations on my

The intent was not to change the subject, but to help support what the
Bible says. How do you define "biblical biology? I have studied the
Bible for many years. I believe it to be truthful and trustworthy esp
when it comes to some natural sciences.(like the earth being defined
as a "circle" (Isa 40:22) hanging upon nothing. (Job 26:7)

The word for "circle" is the Hebrew word "hhug", which some
translators translate as "Sphere".

True, you need evidence to support your conclusion.
I gave you some which you 'snipped' out. To put it all together:

We have a spherical earth, floating in a void. Not bad for

It would create a new species. (like maybe a lion with a meek meow."

Evolution didn't see it that way

Well, we still have physics and chemistry, why don't we see a new
species or new life forms in their early beginnings? Where are all the
intermediates? Even Darwin couldn't explain that.

They are within the same "kind", so of course they could interbreed.
The offspring is called "wolfdogs".

>Different species, yet they can interbreed *and* bear
>fertile offspring!

You are going by men's classification, not God's.  "and produce
healthy, fertile puppies called wolfdogs. They share 78 chromosomes
and over 99% of the same DNA, making them genetically compatible."

Nothing for you. Many things for me.
