Going by the evolutionary time line, the bee evolved 110 million years before the first flower. Can this be possible? There are countless examples which show life needs a precise balance to exist, all working on cyclic unison. For something to evolve before something else evolves is just impossible. All the scientific evidence points to that life had to have come about all at once, amounting the evolution theory to an entire impossibility. If everything had to have come about at once then there was obviously some outside interference, it's pretty obvious we have a creator.

Cool, your a working evolutionary biologist. Perhaps I might have found someone who could answer a lot of my questions on evolution. I'm just a High School student who happens to have a great interest in science and I've just never been able to get evolution to work. I've never had a teacher ever even really try to answer my questions and I sometimes even make them question the theory.
Anyway, about the reply to the bee, have you actually got evidence to support this claim or is that just a theorized hypothesis to explain away the impossibility.
On your reply to my second part, I wasn't just referring to living systems working co-independent on each other, I was referring to everything in and out. Like the respiratory system, digestive system, nervice system, brain, etc. It's impossible for them to have all come about at the exact same time going by the evolutionary theory as each one of those would have taken millions of years to evolve. I cannot possibly get my head around a living system surviving without first being complete, nothing is ever good incomplete. Much like a house without its frame or a car without its engine. If you take away any one of the major components of a living system, it will most surely die. Even if something is born with something half formed it most likely will die depending on medical intervention. I fail to see why this should be an exception for the evolution theory.
I'm also curious as to what triggers of the evolving of adaptation. Like how a reptile all of a sudden just decides to grow feathers. How does two DNA's just cross, which were obviously surviving just fine to get to that point, decide that within the next generation we better begin to form feathers because that may help in the future. Where did the new information come from and how the heck did it know it will help. Mutations are the only answer that I've gotten but they from what I can understand, degrade information and are almost without a doubt always harmful. I fail to see how it could be scientifically possible. It may have worked in Darwins time when it was believed that the characteristics of offspring are passed on from there parents according to a chance random process. Yet I think if I remember correctly, after the time of Darwin, Gregor Mendel published the laws of heredity and genetics, which said that the characteristics of offspring are not derived from random chance but precise mathematical ratios. Once again, why should evolution be an exception. Shouldn't after these laws the silly nonsense of natural selection, survival of the fittest, etc, just be forgotten. Do people, even in your position, just ignore common basic principles of science because they refuse to believe in a God, much like your title claims.
I've got plenty more questions but lets just start small and work our way up. Thanks.
