Evolution is based solely on randomness. At a molecular and DNA level the theory fails. The vast majority of mutations (insertions, tranpositions, deletions) are lethal.
The molecular cascade of A>B>C>D>E>F>G>H>I>J>K etc., to produce a particular pigment protein is impossible via random mutations. Nice try though!

Five Major Misconceptions about Evolution

A large part of the reason why Creationist arguments against evolution can sound so persuasive is because they don't address evolution, but rather argue against a set of misunderstandings that people are right to consider ludicrous. The Creationists wrongly believe that their understanding of evolution is what the theory of evolution really says, and declare evolution banished. In fact, they haven't even addressed the topic of evolution. (The situation isn't helped by poor science education generally. Even most beginning college biology students don't understand the theory of evolution.)

The five propositions below seem to be the most common misconceptions based on a Creationist straw-man version of evolution. If you hear anyone making any of them, chances are excellent that they don't know enough about the real theory of evolution to make informed opinions about it.

Not quite sure what you're referring to, but it sounds wrong.

Score: 0/4 0%. Suggest you learn a little more about your subject matter and try again. Good luck!
