Evolution of the Gaps, Transformation or Sleight of Hand?

It’s true that different species do have common ancestors and living things have changed over time. But that isn’t evolution in the Darwinian sense. This central idea merely refers to things like the diversity of chickens today coming from fewer species of chickens in the past.

We do observe chickens over time becoming different chickens. That, my friends, is the biblical story. That is creation. Darwinian evolution requires the blind faith of believing all living things have a common ancestor, from the chickens of today back to the first chicken, back to the first bird, back to the first lizard, back to the first fish, back to the first worm, until all the way back at the head of the family is grandma rock.

I smell a serious bait-and-switch here.

As a metaphor for what is happening, imagine trying to turn a single-prop engine plane into a Boeing 747 while it’s in flight with small successive modifications. Keep in mind that it needs to keep flying or you all die. Oh, you’re blindfolded and don’t know that you’re trying to make a 747. Are you starting to see what creationists mean when we say that all life is too complex to evolve by chance?
