This sentence tells me you do not understand evolutionary theory. There is no long term "future" plan. The rest of your post is the same old tired creationist Irreducible Complexity argument which I am sure has been debated ad nauseum here.
by the time another 10,000 generations rolled around and you evolved the second such reature, the first, having been disfunctional/antifunctional all the while, would have DE-EVOLVED and either disappeared altogether or become vestigial.
No youre wrong. All those traits should still be under selective pressure. ProtoBirds (TM) which have longer arms or feather-like extentions will flutter around even better with mutations which cause the skeleton to be lighter. It is all about cumulative selection. One hundreth of the the function of an eye is better than no function at all. Small adaptations for movement are better than none at all.
But the sky holds no wild chickens
What a shame. That would be cool.
In fact we are debating it now. Essentially the discussion we have been having, and particularly point#6 in post#1605 is that a gene is itself an irreducibly complex entity. It cannot be of any use, it cannot work in fact without its being completely integrated with the rest of the organism.
