It has become painfully obvious that in order to preserve the theory
of evolution so it can continue to be taught properly in schools, some
work must be done to clarify basic principles, and to show wherever
possible, how evolution works in lay mans terms so that people can
understand it more easily.
I think the first thing you personally need to do is learn about
evolution yourself, so that you do not embarass yourself in public
further.

Well Bob, perhaps you could explain to me then, how it is, that all
humans have the exact same parts, and the design of the human body, is
the same, within 6.6 billion people, and there are no variations in
design at all, that is to say that the way in which the body functions
is the same throughout the entire species.
Well, no, not every human has exactly the same parts. Some humans
have six fingers on each hand.
One would expect, that if random processes were at work, there might
be some variation in design. But there is none.
Look around you at your fellow humans. Are they all the same color?
Are they all the same height?
And then could you explain to me, that if some evolution were to be
found, that was in progress, how that could change the entire
population, so that all people would once again, all have the same design?
All humans have the same general (but not exact) design because we are
all related to each other.
And further perhaps you could show some examples of evolutionary
processes which neither help nor hurt the person, but merely make it
different in design. And then show where those differences are,
because there are none of those either.
Hair color.
Then perhaps you could show how what we call genetic defects, could in
any way shape or form, be seen as an improvement made by evolution.
Study up on the genetics of sickle-cell anemia.
When all the data we have suggests that if you stray, from the design,
such as with the genetic code, you will get deformities, and genetic
disease, rendering the person less suitable for his or her
environment, not better adapted to his or her environment.
You are mistaken. Most mutations are neutral, some are harmful, and a
few are postive. The harmful mutations tend not to be passed along to
future generations, the positive ones do.
So in order to change the human, you need to change the genetic code.
And changes to the genetic code, result in severe disabilities and
disease, because the human body is a complex interrelated system, and
it is common sense, that if two people with genetic defects have
children, they will pass those defects on to their children.
Yet we do still do not see any people out there with a different design.
How is that?
You sound like a person who lacks basic knowledge of biology and
genetics.
