There's even an AiG article: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-jw-creationism.html which addresses this point, as both a deficiency in the JWs' anti-evolutionism, and a potential "wedge issue" for evangelizing JWs. Now, I don't think that JWs accept common descent at all, even with supernatural intervention rather than natural selection as a mechanism. But Jabbers would pretty clearly expect species, or "kinds," to be individually created over long periods of time, with only humans originating a mere 6000 years ago (and unrelated to any other primate, of course). Jabbers has, in the past, denied being a creationist on, apparently, the grounds that he's not a YEC. -- Steven J. > > Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha > hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahaha > hahahahahahahahahahah! > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > sound like intervention of a designer to me. > > > Or it could be your hallucinations coming back again. > > Frank > >
