We are often just TOLD this happens and that we can't see it because it takes an 'eternity'....it's a nonsense and luckily it is now being questioned seriously by serious thinkers.
I challenge you to detail for example the evolution of either bird lung or bird wing, without just saying this turned into that and that turned into this. Tell us how this takes could happen please!!! I want to know the mechanism. |
Have you looked at studies of genetic homology between organisms?

Here's a post I made some time ago. It details genetic homology between a highly conserved protein (ion channels in membranes) between organisms.
Comparisons of genetic code show a relative similarity between code for similar proteins in all organisms. It APPEARS as if they all diverged, randomly, from a common ancestor. I assume that an intelligent designer would have had to create things so they appear exactly like they had been the product of random mutation and selection.
It's real easy for the creationists to grab at higher level complex cellular processes like the bird's lung or the eye which represent a higher level integration of genetic signals. That's the perceived murky area in which they can fool themselves to continue their belief (for whatever reasons).
