I never suggested that evolution would suggest that I could grow wings in a day; I merely used that example to state that the probabilities of it occurring are basically impossible.

That is a good point that a lot can happen in a billion years. However, I still think evolution relies on too much chance and that the probability of such chance actually occurring is basically impossible.

So you acknowledge the use of a straw-man? How is that not lying?

What is "impossible" in a day isn't necessarily impossible in a span of multiple billion years. Those one-in-a-million chances can get very favourable outcomes when you give it time in the range of billions of years.
