Evolution involves iterative feedback filtered by differential selection, with the survivors passing on their heritable traits. Where is the selection and feedback in your example?Ghostriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686873801972423841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279664620697293152.post-49813957460732764882011-08-23T10:25:43.354-07:002011-08-23T10:25:43.354-07:00Thanks for the Blog Elwin.

Why don't you just post "I don'...LOL! Why don't you just post "I don't understand the science, so it must be impossible!!" and save time?<br /><br />The answers to your silly questions are<br /><br />(A) Random mutations by themselves didn't create new 'information'. The iterative feedback process of random mutations filtered by selection did. <br />(B) Parts only have to be exactly as they are now for the whale to function exactly as it does now. But ancestral whales didn't have to function exactly as whales do now. They gradually developed their present capabilities over hundreds of thousands of generations.<br />(C) Current adaptions that allow for feeding at 1km depth didn't have to happen all at once. Adaptions for deep diving accumulated slowly over generations, allowing for a greater and greater feeding depth over time.<br /><br />On the outside chance you wish to alleviate your ignorance, here is a link to the home page of Dr. Edward Babinski, one of the world's foremost experts on cetacean evolution.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/whales/evolution_of_whales/" rel="nofollow">The Evolution of Whales</a><br /><br />I have no problems with you proselytizing and making grandiose proclamations about scientific topics on which you have no clue, or making excuses as to why you can't (not won't) respond to criticisms. I'll support to the end your right to make a fool of yourself on your own blog. The only reason I came here was because this site was touted at UncommonlyDense, another hotbed of brainless Creationists trying to attack science. I happen to find such blustering displays of truly pathetic willful ignorance hugely entertaining.
