Shraff, the Iguana, how do you know it wasn't just an undiscovered species? Your link didn't work.
It might have been, but so what?
What you asked for was a species which was found outside of it's usual environmental niche and some morphological adaptations reflective of that niche.
Other species of iguanas do not have webbed feet and do not dive to eat algae in the ocean.

As for the bird and other one, that's just animals being clever like God made them.
So, the poorly-designed crossover air and food tubes in our throats is evidence of God making a lousy choice?

What is your precise definition of "kind"?
What criterion do I use to determine one "kind" from another?
Are all primates a single "kind", including humans?
What is the barrier to many small variations adding up over time to produce big changes?

But big change into another kind of animal, like a cat to a fish, is highly unlikely.

Or an ape into a man.
"Man" is an ape.

What is your evidence that there isn't time?

Evolution is obsolete IMO. If you do survive, evolution hasn't had time to happen, if you don't, it still doesn't happen.

If you do or you don't, either way, evolution isn't fast enough to be useful,
Really?
Then why do we have to get a different flu shot every year?
Mutation seems to work pretty well for viruses.

only small change under natural selection, just like AIG states.
Mike, this is my last post to you.
I have lost all respect for you, I am sad to say. You are not worth my time anymore, because I have answered all of these questions for you at least a dozen times. You clearly DO NOT WANT to understand anything.
You are smarter, much smarter than this, but you have chosen willful ignorance over enlightenment.
I am really very sad.
Goodbye, and have a nice life wrapped up in your ignorance.

"History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose."--Thomas Jefferson
There is no greater threat to civil liberties than an efficient government. -jar
