The code that is DNA

[Mister Agenda]

Where are you getting your number of generations from? It would take more than 1500 years to run that experiment at roughly 25 fly generations per year. It would take 16 years to get 400 generations and 60 years to get 1,500 generations. Are you sure you haven't misplaced a decimal point?

Just ONE week my friend, one week, a quick search reveals

That can't be where you're getting your numbers from. In the lab, fruit flies average 25 generations per year (probably due to labs not being kept at the optimal 82 degrees F that yields the shortest generation time of one week), but even if they averaged 52 generations per year, it would take over 750 years to get 40,000 generations.

One thing I've never understood about creationists is why they think evolution contradicts the Bible. Almost all of them accept that a 'day' can be as long as God wants, they could be 650 million human years per day if God wants. The Bible says that each kind will bring forth the same kind, and that's exactly what the theory of evolution predicts. There is no point where a creature of a different 'kind' is born to its parents. A fruit fly laying an egg that hatches into a dragonfly without human genetic tampering would be the greatest single challenge ever faced by the theory of evolution. Saying humans are made from dust is at least analogous to evolving from microbes. They should be touting how miraculously close the Bible is to what we've actually found to be true, but instead they make a hobby out of trying to nitpick a theory that arguably supports their creation account to death, because 'we didn't come from no monkeys'. Hey, we have the same body plan as monkeys, so it's just microevolution, right?
