> Now, if it takes THOUSANDS of years to get something as small and insignificant as the shape of a beak to change, then how many MILLIONS (billions?) of much more significant changes must take place for a single celled creature to evolve hundreds of organs that all function interdependently and turn into a human?
About 3.5 billion or so.
Your "never answered" question is now answered. Go forth and sin no more.
These animals did not exist for the entire scope of 3.5 billions years. If we attempt to follow one recognizable animal over the course of its duration on the earth we probably would only be into the millions. Even sharks, who are one of the oldest continuous species on earth, are still recognizable as sharks - whether several million years ago or today. Why didn't sharks evolve? Or did some of them evolve into something else? What?
The problem with evolution is that it is a very broad theory based on - as another poster originally put it..imagination. THere is no proof of it because proof is science is the ability to reproduce a result. We cannot do that, nor have we seen that to happen in nature during the recorded history of man.
As usual, no REAL answer is provided. Just "It happened", without questioning those who gave you the 3.5 billion year figure.
The biggest sin that an evolutionist can commit is to question the theory. In that area you appear to be blameless.
