That is an excellent illustration! On an interesting sidenote regarding evolutionary study, there have been interesting discoveries recently that challenge the slow, gradual progression methodology behind adaptation with spots of rapid progression: http://notexactlyrocketscience.wordpress...n-at-work/ is one interesting article, I'll see if I can find a more technical paper.

I WON'T BELIEVE THAT THOSE COLORS GRADUALLY CHANGED UNTIL SOMEONE SHOWS ME THE "MISSING LINK" OR THE TRANSITIONAL COLOR!!!!!! OTHERWISE I'LL CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THE COLOR BLUE WAS DESIGNED BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!

AND NO MATTER HOW GRADUAL THE CHANGE FROM ONE TO THE NEXT, THERE'S ALWAYS A FINER "TRANSITION" TO BE ADDED!!!! THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THIS ARGUMENT!!!!!!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD OF UNNECESSARY ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINT ABUSE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I could not for the life of me remember that term last night and it was bugging me all day.

Yes the words did change color, but they are still words, no matter what color they may be. Humans come in different colors also and their color has nothing to do with them being anything other than human. If I'm seeing correctly at 4: 44 AM then the changes came at like and macro.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Since cretinists think that evolution consists of bananas spontaneously mutating into salmon this argument won't mean much to them.

Ironically, their ideas of what "evolution" is would disprove evolution.
