Thanks for the thought and the work of bringing the examples and graphic here. Your post here does not make the case you think it does, but reveals several things instead.

For one it shows that you view everything thing thru the filter of the evolutionist mindset. If that is so I ask you to start over and take a critical look at each piece of data and the theory/s behind the conclusions on that piece of data.

For example, the perception of the bony structures in the whales anatomy that give his flippers strength and rigidity as 'feet'

Now as to the nylon eating bacteria being a surprise and proof of evolution. IMO once again it shows that you are not able to look outside of the evolutionist paradigm. There may be other answers to the questions than what the evolutionist offers. We can all be surprised and astounded in this world, and many times we all share the the surprise equally

The use of the word 'synthetic' should always have a caveat added and that word is 'yet' Just because nylon and other 'man-made' products have not been seen in nature does not mean they are not already there at places we have not detected or in forms we have not detected or in compounds that are similar but better 'designed' LOL.

In any event microbial life has surprised the scientist on many levels from the environs they are found in to the foods and metabolic process they employ to process their food.

At a bimolecular level, nylon being a product of oil may look like and break down into food just like oil itself or various components in the oil that the micro-bio life feeds upon.

Science was also surprised that plastics nylon etc would break down from ultraviolet light too.

I will end with this. I ask you to start over and take a critical look at each piece of data and the theory/s behind the conclusions on that piece of data. I say to you that if you do this the 'reality of evo' will dissipate like the mirage that it is.

"For example, the perception of the bony structures in the whales anatomy that give his flippers strength and rigidity as 'feet'"

Look at the feet on the back end of the whale. Those ARE clearly feet.

If we were "intelligently designed" then:

Why do we have a pancreas?

Why do we have an appendix?

Why does the Octopus have a far superior eye?

Why do we have wisdom teeth?

Our design is remarkably inefficient. If I were to design a something, why would I add useless parts? Why are we designed so badly?

"The use of the word 'synthetic' should always have a caveat added and that word is 'yet' Just because nylon and other 'man-made' products have not been seen in nature does not mean they are not already there at places we have not detected or in forms we have not detected or in compounds that are similar but better 'designed' LOL."

So now you won't even accept that nylon wasn't around before 1935? You need to take basic chemistry.

By your reasoning humans should be able to digest hydrochloric acid. (we don't have a problem with hydrogen in water!)
