I've learned not to trust any article that manipulates the facts for persuasive purposes.
Quote:It has failed to explain why birds still carry genes to make teeth,

Some birds have teeth. Some birds have scales on their legs. Both fill vital roles now--unrelated to history.
Quote:whales to make legs,

Baleen whales have a hox gene that, when switched, can affect expression. But there have to be other genes to produce the legs once turned on by the hox gene. These genes do not exist.
Quote:and humans to make tails.
Human embryos have tails in certain stages of development to aid assembly of the vertebrae. Later in life, people have tailbones to support their spinal cord. Both are in full use today.
The question evolutionists should be asking is this: If evolution is happening today, why do DNA codes contain no new dormant genes from which to build future organs?

Quote:It has failed to explain how the genetic diversity we observe among humans could have arisen in a few thousand years from two biological ancestors.
Most evolutionists believe humans arose from one biological ancestor.

If science is on his side, why not just be honest?
