Or that the HIV virus was always around and no-one noticed it before. It evolved too, just as new flu virus strains evolve all the time.

That is micro-evolution, and no one is denying this. The problem is with macro-evolution and its inconsistencies. For example, a fundamental premise of Darwinian evolution is that naturally species will go from simplicity to vast complexity by "natural selection." With the fossil record, we see the exact opposite - We see complex species literally "pop up" that just become more and more refined in their structure as opposed to becoming more and more complex. In fact, the only "macro-evolution" that an evolutionists can provide "evidence" of is in minute changes observed in single-celled bacteria, the most simple of organisms.

Actually many parasites go from complexity to simplicity.

(Sigh) No, it isn't.
