You are correct that "micro-evolution" which I prefer to call "Programmed Adaptability" can produce morphological changes such as long beaks/short beaks, dark skin/light skin, straight hair/curly hair, flat nose/pointed nose, fat body/thin body, hairy body/smooth body, etc. etc. Indeed, my hypothesis --strongly supported by my observation -- is that God designed creatures with this ability to help them survive in varying environments [no space here to prove this, just hold the thought, OK]. But to my knowledge no one has ever observed a gorilla evolving the ability to speak French, German and English. I've never seen a female chimpanzee evolve to the point where a red-blooded, male college student would say "hubba-hubba" and ask one out on a date [actually, I've known some college students that just might be desperate enough to ask out a chimp, but that is beside the point]. I don't know of a single case where someone has observed legs dissappearing off a whale's body or wings being formed from scales. And yes, I can conceive of this possibility theoretically, which is what I think evolutionists do, but it just seems incredibly unlikely, and I don't know of anyone who has observed it, all of which is part of why I don't believe it.

I would prefer that you give me YOUR arguments in YOUR own words. I am learning that you guys don't like me to refer you to AIG, and in the same way I don't like to just be shoved off to TalkOrigins.
