The late Francis Schaeffer used to say...Suppose a fish evolves lungs. What happens then? Does it move up the next evolutionary stage? No, it drowns!
Organisms within our system are irreducibly complex. Thus, organisms couldn't possibly survive a piecemeal evolution but would have to have a quick transition. This combats Darwins principles that organisms evolved piecemeal over billions of years.
Evolutionists propose that bats evolved from a small mouselike creature whose forelimbs developed into wings in gradual steps. But picture the steps: As the forelimbs (front toes) grow longer and the skin begins to grow between them, the animal can no longer run without stumbling over them; and yet the forelimbs are not long enough to function as wings. So, the poor creature would have limbs too long for running and too short for flying. It would flop helplessly and soon become extinct.

Stupid irreducibly argument.

Why do the ignorant try to teach? You really should have not slept through your HS biology class.

They call it a lungfish?

This will be depressing news for the poor lungfish, which got along fine for hundreds of millions of years before the ignorant and cruel Mr Schaeffer decided his existence was impossible.

The real question is, what would happen if a creationist evolved a brain?

Could you then explain to me why whales have vestigial hips and legs, and there are fossils of whales with more fully formed limbs? I'll wait patiently.
