The people who replied to my post missed the point. Going on about the mechanics of clocks, typing monkeys, and selection of phenotypes illustrates why the creationists can ridicule and challenge public debates so easily.

Hiding behind plenty of time and huge numbers doesn't help the cause. There aren't billions of cats out there, testing untold useless random gene mutations in hopes of finding one that will give sharper claws. There aren't billions of finches on some island, trying out huge numbers of gene mutations, five eggs at a time, waiting for a random one that gives a slightly longer beak.

You must show a biochemical process by which environmental cues direct gene mutation and expression. It can happen fast in nature, and it happens far too efficiently to be random. Lamark awaits your research.
