And he keeps on going on and on about micro evolution, without seeming to realise that lots and lots of small changes in a species over many hundreds of thousands of years cause the species to change, i.e. evolve. This concept of species gradually growing specially adapted body parts completely baffles him, so of course the logical answer is a "god" just pointed at the organism and said "you will have wings" and *poof* the animal magically has wings.
Anyway, it's impossible to argue with people who strongly believe in something. The more you try to disprove them or convert them to your way of thinking, the stronger their faith/loyalty to that belief becomes. Simple example: he's trying to convince us god is real, and we refuse to accept to his argument.
I don't have anything against religious people, it's just when they try to prove their belief with "facts" that they become annoying.

[quote]And he keeps on going on and on about micro evolution, without seeming to realise that lots and lots of small changes in a species over many hundreds of thousands of years...[/quote]The fossil record shows evidence of only micro-evolution (variations of the same species), but it does not show either branches of at least one species or the high count of transitional fossils for even one species. If evolution does indeed operate over millions to billions of years, is their not supposed to be over [b]at least a million[/b] (which there isn't) transitional fossil records [b]per species[/b]? Evolutionists claim that the process of evolution is in fact very slow and very minuet, but all atheistic archeologists can find are only an acclaimed few and state, "These few (not many) transitional fossils tell us that [insert name of species] have evolved on planet Earth for over millions of millennia." Even Darwin doubted as to the origin of these small minuet changes that were acclaimed to be caused by the present environmental hazards he assumed to be affecting their biology, saying, "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree...The difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection , though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered subversive of the theory" ([i]On the Origin of Species[/i], Chapter 6). The study of abiogenesis (the original evolution of life or living organisms from inorganic or inanimate substances.) doesn't even have a conclusion as to the manifestation of organic life from non-organic material, or even a conclusion as to the necessity and development of intelligence (for only one species) and complexity.
