The basics have not changed, our understanding of them has been refined. It is a really simple concept throughout, but the details can get kind of tricky if you are ignorant of the Scientific method.

Sorry, but loss of structures in evolution (which you first attempt to deny was evolution because it wasn't advancement) is just one type of evolution.

At one time there were no mammals with hooves or wings. Where do you think they came from (or do you think they were there from the beginning?)?

At one time there was neither nylon to digest or a bacteria that could digest nylon. Where do you think nylon digesting bacteria came from?

At one time there were no placental mammals. Where did they come from and why are non-placental mammals limited to Australia and the opossum?

the details can get kind of tricky if you are ignorant of the Scientific method.

I am not ignorant of the scientific method, and acutely aware of the fact that the scientific method cannot be applied to the ToE as it relates to mammals evolving from non-mammals, or even to eukaryotic cells evolving from prokaryotic cells.

At one time there were no mammals with hooves or wings... At one time there were no placental mammals...

Science has not been able to observe the appearance, nor produce in experimentation, any of these things from anything that is not already one of these things. This would be a critical step in the scientific method.

As for the "nylon-eating bacteria", if it started out as bacteria and its still bacteria, then that's not the kind of change that I'm arguing against.
