Why do insects in amber have compound eyes and man does not? Or why do we lack the eyes of an eagle?

Yep. And we’re back to the wisdom of God making whales with fingers again. Sounds legit.
Cuz the Creator of the entire Universe and all that’s in it has trouble coming up with unique designs that are specific to each creature.
That’s a horrible scientific hypothesis. It is quite clearly trying to fit in the observable data with what you already “know.”
But here’s what I know. The Bible is a few hundred pages long. Just one person’s genome would take 262,000 pages to print out. Therefore, you must expect most of what can be observed and learned about NOT to be in the Bible.

Different evolutionary lines.

You were not here to witness the creation and the prototypical forms.
Interesting that you think the 262,000 pages of the genome came by chance and was not designed.

It is a great pity that the wise people who showed you that in spite of not being literally real, the story of Santa Clause has a truth about it which is valuable even to adults did not do the same with the book of Genesis.

Absolutely, since much of it is garbage. I mean, almost 50% of the human DNA matches that of fruit flies, and a similar number that of bananas.
You think God was using the principles of Common Design when He made those three species? Why would he, and why on Earth do you think he would?
I’ll give you a hint, and you can only choose one answer:
You think God was using the principles of Common Design when He made those three species? Why would he, and why on Earth do you think he would?
I’ll give you a hint, and you can only choose one answer:
- ID proponents, after a careful and open minded investigation of available data, arrived at the conclusion that there was so much in common between people and bananas that there must be common design elements.
- Scientists developed the ability to check genetic material, discovered surprising similarities among them, and then ID proponents jumped on the bandwagon, while twisting all the available data to fit a pre-supposed conclusion

St Nicholas was real. Tracking the different countries names through the centuries is fascinating, until in America it was rendered Santa Claus.
Genesis is solid.

When I look at a CD all I see is a bunch of 1’s ans 0’s. Yet they play many different tunes.

Scientists discover a role for ‘junk’ DNA
Researchers have determined how satellite DNA, considered to be ‘junk DNA,’ plays a crucial role in holding the genome together.
Their findings, published recently in the journal eLife, indicate that this genetic “junk” performs the vital function of ensuring that chromosomes bundle correctly inside the cell’s nucleus, which is necessary for cell survival. And this function appears to be conserved across many species.
The similar findings from both fruit fly and mouse cells lead Yamashita and her colleagues to believe that satellite DNA is essential for cellular survival, not just in model organisms, but across species that embed DNA into the nucleus – including humans.

Maybe. But they don’t have 5 fingers, because. . . they don’t need to.
I’m sure if CDs did have 5 fingers, you’d call it a great testament to God’s plan of Common Design.

And the fullness of truth of the Catholic Church has no objection to evolution, with an easily accommodated caveat.
Why do you so persistently go against the “fullness of truth”?

Not between bats and birds. The wing design is very different: different number of digits and differently constructed aerofoil surfaces. Common design would have reused the effective bird wing design for bats.

And? I know that. Glark knows that. We all know that.
As you well know, Glark and I were referring to the story that a fat man in a red coat comes to every child’s house by sky-sleigh driven by reindeer to deliver presents every Chrstmas.
By introducing the historical St Nicholas, you are attempting to muddy the distinction between the two. Few children cannot clearly understand the distinction.
How very Creationist! To take what is clearly a myth but with an important theological message, and muddle it up with vague references to historical observations, you hope to give some kind of literal credibility to the story of a six-day creation. Luckily few children cannot clearly understand the distinction.
Santa Claus is solid.

“Common design” among whales and land mammals-- totally legit.
“Common design” among flying creatures-- who are you to question God’s methods?
Making stuff up is fun!

Nonono. If you teach children to think creatively and to actually consider the point of things, they ain’t gonna lern nuthin’
-Animals marching in pairs into a boat which cannot possibly contain them: literal fact! The Bible never lies!
-Animals having variation, and variation accumulating over time into new traits: not in the Bible, therefore false news!

How many animals had to go aboard the ark to regenerate after the flood?
Animals do change over time. There is not argument there. The issue is macro-evolution which is a fantasy.

Since you say that all kinds are preset, then. . . ALL of them. Physically impossible for a boat that size.
Were there dinosaurs on the arc? I think they would have mentioned if a pair of brontosauruses were on board. And T-Rexes. . . also pretty noticeable.
