Mike,

I guess my problem is that despite lots of species dying and not surviving - I wonder why the changes happen, or what "use" millions of years is. For example, if there is an increase in grizzly bear critters and they start to wock our heads off all the time, what use will wings be in a few million years? Are you saying that eventually our survivors will grow them? And if they have survived, why would they need wings?
It's like; If you survive, then you've survived without evolving, but then you increase and just what? evolve anyway? You see, this bothers me.
You know, Mike, I can't fault you for taking the piss when you're responding to sarcastic remarks from the likes of me or your Zenmaster Dan. It's snide responses like this to patient, insightful posts like Rei's that give you a bad rep here.
As far as I can tell, Rei wasn't trying to rake you over the coals or ridicule you. I'm not a believer, but I think she makes a good case that the theistic evolution argument gives God a lot more credit for His handiwork than literalist-creationist nonsense. So once again you repay the time and effort people take to try and engage you without condescension by playing the fool. And then you wonder why the same people end up being hostile to and dismissive of you and your worldview.
regards,
Esteban Hambre
