Big difference there, bubba. "Two-headed" humans, cows, frogs, whatnot, are the result of failed twinning. This more commonly results in Siamese Twins. Whales born with legs are the result of a long dormant gene being switched back on accidentally. The question is why, if whales have always been whales, do they have a gene for legs?

I, unfortunately, do not hold out hope for your comprehension of the differences in the above paragraph, as your actual knowledge of evolution seems to be woefully lacking.

A far more interesting question (to me at least) is how the activation of a single gene can result in a major structural change. It is as if the blueprints for your house contained -- as an appendix, so to speak -- the blueprints for a skyscraper. A lot of "design" packed in a few molecules.

Because you say so I guess. Well that is proof of nothing. Mutations can do all kinds of crazy things so they are not proof of descent. This is another example of the circular reasoning of evolutionists - they hold that mutations prove evolution - but only when they prove evolution. What a joke!
