Well… until now…
Scientists have caught the process of evolution in action as a species of Australian lizard abandons egg-laying for live births.
The variety of skink, which is snake-like with four tiny legs, has been found laying eggs along the coast of New South Wales.
However, the same yellow-bellied three-toed lizard living in the colder mountainous region is giving birth to offspring like a mammal does. (here)
God is still creating… contrary to the deists…

I don’t know how the skinks in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, give birth. Just see them sometimes on the path or the grass.
Unfortunately, to a YECer, this only points to microevolution (the kind God sovereignly allows), not macroevolution (the kind that godless liberals and Darwinists believe in).
Of course, to be honest, there is nothing to an YEC that will prove anthing because their methodology will not allow evidences that disprove their initial hypothesis
Exactly. When you combine the idea of inerrency with a conviction that you are the sole possessor of God’s truth, there is no amount of evidence that can really convince you that your position is wrong.
