"So, the poor creature would have limbs too long for running and too short for flying. It would flop helplessly and soon become extinct."
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.
So are you claiming that whales have evolved into a higher organism than those that have vestigial hips and legs? Will we some day become whales?
The overwhelming pattern is that organisms appear fully fuormed in fossil records, with variations clustered around a mean, and without transitional stages leading up to them. The fossil record as a whole gives persuasive evidence against Darwinism.
I'd like to know how it can be scientifically certified that whale hips and legs are vestigial. I'd like to see a certified whale fossil. I'd also like to be directed to a textbook on fossils that places them where they were found as opposed to where creative evolutionists think they ought to be with respect to complexity. Can you, with your since-discarded vestigial gills, supply a more-than-hopeful answer?
