They must dis-prove Adam in order to dis-prove the creator. That is the ultimate goal.

is it ‘evolution’ when you breed a dog for centuries until it is a good hunter or tall or short or... something? what makes a new ‘breed’

It’s still a DOG- that is what made me think about the evolution argument.

I think Darwin’s claim that a giraffe’s neck grew so he could reach the trees to eat leaves ignores a whole slew of generations unable to reach the leaves (where are those bodies?)

How did the body know it "needed" to evolve lungs? Then how did it "know how" to evolve lungs.

The same can be said for the brain, the liver, kidneys, the heart, ears, nose, sinuses.

How is it the the ears, nose, throat and sinuses all work together?

How did eyes "evolve"? Especially considering if one "devolves" an eye, it quits working. So at what point does the body/dna decide to evolve an eye, and then goes about developing an eye that over millenia finally becomes a WORKING eye.

How does the body then know to develop neuro pathways that connect the eye to the brain. How does the brain know to develop an area that can receive information?

How did the body know to develop ribs to protect the vital organs?

I’m just a layman, but multicellularity has always seemed to be the big miracle to me, not so much life itself. I mean, afterall, life evolved very rapidly as soon as the planet cooled down, but it took another three to four billion years to get complex organisms.

Now, along comes this experiment.

Like your dog and giraffe comments.

Family Giraffidae ~ while there are only two extant members ~ giraffes and okapi, there have been others. The okapi has the form most nearly resembling that of the earlier geraffids. See Paleotragus

Well, since this is a conservative website, perhaps we should give the obvious-as-the-nose-on-your-face American answer:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created..."

I get it. The multi-cellular yeast was created by researchers selecting for that trait just like farmers select for leaner hogs or cows with higher milk production.

i have thought the same thing-

how does an eye evolve into an eye incase you know thats what you want-

someone told me a bump evolves light sensitibvity raises to a cone, cone become ‘pinhole camera’ ligh sensitivity make it further evolve into an eye.. but this seems logically ridiculous- it makes sense... only if you dont think about it too long.

A cone would trap dirt and become infected way more times than it would grow light sensitivity

yeast with multicell differentiation?

I’m not of a scientific bent. Does this mean you could have sour dough biscuits with chlamydia?

I can’t wait for the day the multicellular yeast evolves into a new species of elk or lizard.
