[QUOTE="TonyMontana, post: 2872966, member: 110851"] This is one of the reasons why people believe creation theory. The haven't really studied any aspects of the science of evolution. They part in question wouldn't have just "appeared". As was mentioned about the flying squirrel (nice example btw), things like this evolve through millions of years, and start from a humble basic beginnings. They then undergo various changes over a VERY long period of time, and this leads to survival of the fittest eg. moths. I can't think of the name, but there was a white moth that lives on light coloured trees. They were therefore camouflaged and harder for preying birds to see. However, when a large power plant appeared near to where they lived, the trees went much darker. The moths now stood out and were gradually killed off by excess predation. When there was a lucky genetic mutation that made the same breed of moths turn darker (think of skin problems - I could go deeper but that's the gist in less sophisticated animals). They were more geared to survival in this area, and they then reproduced. This is one example out of millions, such as the original Darwinian Galapagos finches. [/QUOTE]
