Amoebas do not 'turn into' horses. Nobody has ever said that, and if they did, they were a fool. Creationists just love mischaracterizing evolutionary theory in varying degrees of ridiculousness (crocoduck anybody?) but no matter how you state it all you show is you just don't even basically understand it to be able to criticize it. Not even the tiniest portion of the basics.
This phenomenon (of ignorance) among anti-evolution people is extremely common. Earlier today I watched the Richard Dawkins documentary for the BBC entitled "The God Delusion." One of his interviews is with Ted Haggard (pre-sex-scandal, while he was still the pastor of a major mega-church) and
Haggard makes some of those absurd kinds of statement characterizing evolution. One was "Evolutionists think that the eye suddenly formed by accident."
Dawkins replied, "I don't know of even one scientists who thinks that the eye formed in that way. Not one." Haggard didn't give an inch. "Well, the evolution scientists I speak with certainly say that." Obviously, Haggard either has poor listening skills when he converses with scientists OR he is simply a liar. I don't know which applied. But I see this very often.
Keep in mind that I am a Bible-believing evangelical follower of Jesus Christ (who served on seminary faculties and is ordained as a minister) and it pains me to see so much of this kind of ignorance [and even outright lies] among far too many of my peers.
I'm simply being honest. So I must admit that the ignorance you described in your post and which Dawkins illustrated in the Haggard interview is extremely common.
Those who claim to abide by the teachings of Jesus Christ should care about the 9th Commandment (about bearing false witness) and they should ALSO care about TRUTH. I affirm The Theory of Evolution because Jesus emphasized the importance of honesty and truth. So I don't ignore, deny, or distort the volumes of evidence for evolution (and a very old earth) which we observe in what Christians consider God's Creation.
Indeed, I see no reason why some Christians think it is wise or Christ-like to constantly bait and carry on a war against science and scientists. We should consider scientists our ALLIES in the pursuit of a better understanding of God's Creation. Thousands of scientists believe in God. But both they and the many scientists who do NOT believe in God nevertheless pursue the same goals of understanding the universe.
So Christians should consider them to be involved in a noble pursuit!
I would wish that the more angry and defiant Christians on this forum would consider how Jesus would have treated scientists had any existed in his day. (Modern science did not arise until the empiricism and the scientific method gradually came into its own through the efforts of people like Francis Bacon and Paracelsus.) I think Jesus would have treated them respectfully and warmly.
The only people Jesus regularly got angry with were the RELIGIOUS LEADERS who continually "missed the point" of what the Bible (the Tanakh) was telling them about how to treat and love others and how they were to love God---and who focused more on their TRADITIONS than what was taught in the Bible.
We have the same problem with many religious people today: they are more focused on defending their church's man-made traditions about the Bible INSTEAD OF what the Bible actually says.
While I appreciate your extended exposition about evolution and the educational benefits it may hold for some readers, those who MOST need that education will reject it.
The Book of Proverbs in the Bible has much to say about those who remain simple ("the mockers") because they REFUSE to listen to instruction. That is one of many Biblical truths that is as true today as back then. Sadly, one can't educate those who refuse to learn. And the Bible said that those types will always be with it. Thus, despite the number of times which many on this forum have tried to patiently explain evolutionary processes, we keep seeing silly, mocking statements which bear no resemblance to The Theory of Evolution. (Indeed, many still insist on confusing it with abiogenesis and the Big Bang Theory. Being ill-informed is no crime. We are all uninformed about various topics. But being ignorant about that which has been repeatedly explained is a choice.)
So one of my major complaints against the anti-evolution Christians is that they are being unbiblical and they are being disrespectful of the abundant evidence for evolution which God has placed within the biosphere all around us. They elevate God's Book of Scripture (the Bible) while denigrating God's Book of Creation (Science).
