Animal cross-breeds: (Mule excluded)

http://www.hemmy.net/2006/06/19/top-10-hybrid-animals/

After reviewing your original introduction of inbreeding, I have to admit, it isn't at all relevant to evolution. So I won't address it further.

I don't understand your point about oceans. Columbus found it, then it was colonized. What does that have to do with evolution?

Species do not lose genetic information over time. Sheer nonsense. Inbreeding doesn't degrade the DNA either, you don't inbreed until you become a new species. You'll experience rare conditions/mutations, nothing more.

This still isn't providing any evidence for Intelligent Design or Creation. You're still addressing evolution so far as I can tell.

I'm addressing long age and short age, which is in favor or one and disfavor of another. I'm providing evidence for ID and shedding doubt on evolution, hitting two birds with one stone.

@Oceans. Think about it and maybe I'll expand. If animals made it to the other side, why did it take humans so long?

Species lose genetic information if there is a genetic copying error, which is the source of defects. As simple as mistypin a word in a retranscription of a document. Am I wrong on that too? This debate is always full of surprises.

 

@Hybrids. Am I to take from this that there are 10 of many or 10 of few possible or known hybrids? I'd need much more info than that, like a scientific study of the constraints of breeding between species, which to my knowledge far outweigh the few cases of cross-species hybrids.

The problem is you aren't providing any evidence for ID, nor producing doubt on evolution. Inbreeding has nothing to do with evolution.

You do realize people were in North America prior to Columbus discovering it, right? Furthmore, Alaska was once attached to Russia. Pangea and all that jazz.

The DNA does not change. Mutations occur in certain aspects of the "junk" DNA, but the defining chromosomes are not altered.

You asked for examples of hybrid creatures, I provided them. 11 such examples. What more do you need? The constraints, as I've already addressed are concerning the genus, if the DNA is too different, no crossbreed can be formed. That's why species in the same genus can crossbreed.

Edit: Still don't understand what you think crossbreeding or migration has to do with ID or Creation.
