: No word games. My point is that according to evoluton theory it is impossible for a fish to sprout wings (at least without one heck of a whopping series of mutations such as has never been known to happen and that evolution dismisses). God could do it, however, so I guess your statement supports evolution and refutes creationism.
: Matter of fact: I have address your "concerns." You asked for a beneficial mutation, I gave you one. You, on the other hand, can't seem to explain why a series of millions of microevolutionary changes can't add up to a macroevolutionary change.
Funny how you disprove yourself with your own
statements:you said"fish could never sprout wings
at least without some whopping series of mutations".
But this is exactly what you suppose happened with
other species, such as reptiles and insects. Why
couldn't fish evolve wings if the condtions were
correct. Ever here of flying fish? Perhaps the
first step would be better gliding ability, with
eventual modification and descent into full fledged
wings. This is exactly how you said it could
happen in other species, now you say it is
ridiculous. I have explained to you why
microevolution does not add to macroevolution, I
said microevolution does not create new genes, but
you just keep ignoring me and saying it again.
Does someone need to slap you in the head,
a loud horn, and hang a big sign in front of your
face before you see it? I have explained why I
think it can't , more than once, now I plead with
you, for the fifth time at least, to tell me why
it can.
