Quote (The Ghost of Paley @ Oct. 02 2006,12:22)
Based on their codon-counting methodology, evolutionists concluded the worm Xenoturbella "evolved" from molluscs. These creatures look nothing like each other, but since evolutionary doctrine predicts anything can evolve into anything else [my emph.—em], they found nothing wrong with this classification.

Really, Bill? Can a fly evolve into a horse? How would it do so, according to current evolutionary theory? Could it somehow "devolve," back to the split between protostomes and deterostomes, and then back up the phylogenetic tree towards amniote-hood?

Perhaps you should learn some of the basics of evolutionary theory, Bill, before you start trying to criticize it. Statements like this imply an utter, screaming lack of familiarity with the most basic tenets of the theory. You're getting dangerously close to AFDave territory with statements like this.
