Lets first begin with a human eye-brow and why it is there and how it evolved according to some evolutionists:
Its function is said to be that it keeps the sweat away from our eyes.
You and me are both agreable on that.
Further that it havent always been there and that it has evolved through natural selection, there the creationist turn right and the evolutionist left and they both claim that theyre way is the right way.
But after reading this I hope you wont make any wrong turns.
First of all evolution through natural selection doesnt have a CONCIENCE, so as to say it cant plan ahead or determine ANYTHING.
Just wanted to make that clear.
So in order for even a single hair above the eye to arise, a mutation (replacement of the genetical structure of the DNA) have had to occure.
Most of the people know that mutations are almost always harmful or at its peak, inefficient.
That is to say, that the probabilities for a mutation to occur is very ,very low.
Then the probability for this new hair to arise just at the convenient spot (above the eye to prevent the sweat reaching the eye)is also very ,very low.
Then finally and here`s the important bit,( because improbabilities tend to be widely accepted by evolutionists) is that ONE hair isnt enough to make ANY sort of advantage to the bearer.
Its just an ineffective material that doesnt improve its chance to reproduce.
That specie would have to wait thousands of years inorder for another hairstring to be misplaced in the convenient symmetrical spot next to the first hair string.
And on and on for millions of years until it has gathered enough hair to start to make a function(Preventing sweat).Again, evolution HAS no CONCIENCE so it could not have known from the beggining that this was going to be the final product.How does evolutionists explain this simple example , And keep in mind that this is nothing compared to the complex organs that exists in nature and whereas all components have to be there right from the beginning, slow progress is completely out of the question in those cases.
I hope youll be able to give a descent answer to my question and ill always try to response back. Good luck

I think that the eyebrow was also to help shield the eyes from the sun as well. At one time we were a lot hairier than we are now.
One thing you may realize is that evolution is a very wasteful process and only those who can survive long enough get to pass along those traits which have helped them survive.
BTW, can anyone name the fallacy he is using?

Now that is a real fallacy. Sadly it is not included in the list on the Fallacies site;
Fallacies - Nizkor
