Who would have thought a single ping pong ball could trip a zillion mouse traps (extrapolating a smidge ; - ). I wonder if Richard’s part of we has trouble comprehending chain reactions, say like nuclear fission (so very far-fetched).
No one is saying that every butterfly in Beijing initiates a hurricane nor that a sneeze initiates thousands. But please try and understand the concept… never mind, don’t trouble yourself – it’s too much like mouse traps.
Ha! 
There you go again with your obsession with extremist language! It might have something to do with truth and not making Christianity and the God of Christianity laughingstocks before the world, repulsing many? If it’s so unimportant, why are you so obsessed with denying it? As @St.Roymond aptly points out, the Bible implies it.
Multiple deaths due to factors external to individuals is pretty unremarkable and the existence of such event is hardly something that evolution exclusively claims. Not a strong argument, Richard.
It’s no problem whatsoever if you’re a denialist:
And you are still clueless about how evolution works. That there are still reptiles has already been explained (oh, the futility of our efforts ; - ), at least in principle (I could probably find where if I needed to – was it you, Timothy, @Paraleptopecten?). Their niche in the biosphere still exists, they are well adapted to it, and there has been no extinction event affecting them.
Well, at least you @RichardG and @Buzzard do not deny the antiquity of the earth and cosmos. Speaking of which, maybe cosmology would be a better science to compare to evolution to help you understand. Shall we try that, since you cannot see the comparison to meteorology (since it is so obviously irrelevant to atheistic evolution 
)? How is evolution different than atheistic cosmology? (It deals with past events and predictions just like meteorology, but oh well.)
