| I'm glad that you don't have a real rebuttal against the argument that atavisms are excellent evidence for evolution. |

Anomalies happen all the time in every species. It proves nothing. Human babies have been born with facial hair. Does that prove humans rose from chimps? |

Sure, but it becomes interesting when we start asking WHERE these anomalies came from. In the case of atavisms, the anomalies came from the fact that the creature has a segment of DNA present in its genome which was present in one of its ancestor species. Evolution didn't get rid of the DNA, but rather just turned it off, and every now and then you find a creature in which it is not turned off.
It is very powerful evidence supporting evolution.

Really? Do you have a citation for this?

I don't know. That one could just be a hormonal imbalance during development. |

The bottom line still is, how does living tissue evolve from dirt? Next: How does living tissue suddenly waltz out of a puddle and become a thinking animated being? One more: how does an animated being adapt to its environment by simply growing gills, or wings, or arms? Last one, for now: How do evolution work when kinds can only reroduce after their kinds?

It doesn't and the theory of evolution doesn't say it does.

First define 'kinds'. |

Pete, interacting with you is getting to be ridiculous. Multiple people on this board have told you on literally dozens of different occasions that evolutionary theory doesn't in any way, shape, or form say that any of these things happened. You're PURPOSEFULLY misunderstanding what evolution says, and then stating your misunderstanding of evolution as if that were actually what it says.
You're never going to win an argument with anyone who understands evolution, because they know better.
And secondly, nice try at changing the subject and going on the offensive against evolution. This thread is about atavisms. Go ahead and explain them, if you can. |
