How Does the Existence of God Negate Darwinian Evolution?

Animals and plants can only reproduce with their own kinds. That is what kinds means. How do small changes in the genome change an animal or a plant into a different kind?

It doesn't.

Cats produce more cats and subspecies of cats.
Felines produce more felines and subspecies of felines
Mammals produce more mammals and subspecies of mammals.
Vertebrates produce more vertebrates and subspecies of vertebrates.

Cats = still felines, mammals and vertebrates.

Cats will not produce non-cats.
If cats WOULD produce non-cats, evolution would be falsified.

Learn the theory you are so hellbend on arguing against, before attempting to argue against it.

I don't criticize other people or what they believe in even if I don't agree because God wants us not to judge.

In a previous post, you said that atheists don't believe in god "because they want to sin and invent their own morals and not have anyone to answer to".

So you are either lying or unaware of how you just contradicted yourself.

I wasn't judging them or making fun of what they believe in. I was disagreeing in a civil manner.

False.

Even in the new testament, it says "slaves: obey your masters".

The old testament LITERALLY regulates the practice and even explains how you can pass slaves on to off spring as inheritance and how you can beat them.

Read exodus 21.

Slaves obeying their masters is a reference to submitting to authority and respecting the people even if they are unfair. Regulating something is not the same thing as encouraging it.

Actually it is. Once again how hard would it have been for God to say "No slaves?" He wasted too many of the Ten Commandments on his own ego. If you tell someone that it is okay to beat your slave until just before the point of death that is not exactly opposing slavery.

God never promoted slavery but there were no laws against it in the Old Testament because God does everything with an order and a purpose and the purpose of the Old Testament law was to keep Israel set apart, not for social liberation. It's the same reason that Jesus didn't free the slaves. Jesus came to the earth to teach us how to live not for political liberation. The Ten Commandments is to show people that they need a Savior not to mention every possible sin that exists. God didn't say it was okay God created laws to keep the behavior of people under control.

Like it or not when you tell someone how to cheat the rules that that person set up that is supporting that action. When one tells people where they can buy slaves from that is supporting slavery.

And you keep dodging the question. Why didn't God say:

They were going to have slavery anyway, so God mentioned what he could to keep them under control.
