I guess your creationist sources sort of "forgot" to inform you about the vast amounts of scientific evidence for evolution, eh?

 

Ah yes:  the ever changing eyesocket size and shape drawing.

False slander does not become you.

If you had a clearer understanding of evolution the changing size wouldn't be so confusing to you. The path between any two points in the line of change will be a 'drunkards walk' where some features wobble back and forth before reaching the more recent point. Neither the geographical position of a population nor the environment encountered at any one time by that population are static. Over a million years, for example, there is much room for staggering features.

Your complaint of inconsistent change is invalid when considered in light of extant population patterns.

Things like changing eyesocket size are typically referred to by creationists as "microevolution". You need to look at the way things fit together, not their dimensions.
