The formation of novel organs for one thing...
Evolution of the Eye
Next?

Re: WOW
Did you read and understand the entire piece? Or did you simply latch onto a couple of sentences that you thought would support your unfounded disbelief?
The conclusion regarding the evolution of the eye is based on a series of logical steps, small changes, that could have occurred over time. In addition, there are currently in existence living organisms that exhibit each of these steps.
You insist that is it impossible for evolution to proceed in this manner. The link I provided shows how it is possible. If this is not enough for you to accept as a reasonably scientific showing that the eye could have evolved as hypothesized, please give your reasons.

A Dialogue
mjfloresta: It is impossible for complex organs to form through mutations. IMPOSSIBLE! How do I know this? Because I can't understand how it could. If I can't understand it, it's impossible.
Science: Here is a way it could have happened, including real world examples of each step.
mjfloresta: You haven't proved it DID happen that way. You have only said it COULD have happened that way. Therefore, it's still IMPOSSIBLE!
The End.

I have no response to your descriptions of previous discussions, since I was not a part of them. However, I don't understand how it's possible for such discussions to have taken place, therefore I must conclude they could not have happened.
