it seems to me that what we have is a designer who used some parts of his "building blocks" in different places with as far as evolutionary theory goes no sense at all

Seems to you based on what? Where are the chimeras?

so if both man and chimp have it, then the other apes should have it too

Please explain, I don't see this at all.

Not chimeras, structures that cannot be explained by common descent as for example the sonar of bats, whales and porpoises, the poison of the platypus and snakes, and electrocution in eels, rays and catfish. However, for something really wild take a look below:


FROM:   Euglena
Note the eye!

One really cool feature of Euglena and other related organisms, is the presence of a pigmented organelle, or eyespot, that allows the organism to orient toward or away from light. This is a sensible adaptation since these organisms carry out photosynthesis. The image to the left show the eyespot . The eyespot itself is not sufficient to help the organism turn toward light since the cell is transparent. So the outside of the eyespot is covered by a black pigmented area. The Euglena determines which way turn turn by turning to the direction in which the eyespot is receiving the least light. In this direction the pigmented eyespot is most directly shaded by the black pigmented area.

This is a small one celled animal, it sees and is both a plant and an animal! Let's see the evolutionists explain the descent!
