    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    This particular species has both organs. It isn't making a transition as they watch, it is a rare species which does both. That's what the article states. They do it more often in the north. They already have the capability. This isn't evolution being observed it is an observance that in one...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I definitely didn't know about the specific examples you cited. But in order for a species to make changes from asexual to sexual (where the x and y is distributed to the sexed pairs individually ) and from egg laying to live birth, a great deal of physiological changes has to occur. Changes too...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    Yes, let's go back to the article and see if I didn't already alert you to the fact that it would require a major change in the organs to move from one type of birth to the other. "Evolutionary “reversals” to egg-laying are much rarer, probably because regaining the physiological machinery for...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I think it would be obvious. An egg with a shell includes all of the food supply for the offspring as he transitions from zygote to viable lizard. A womb that provides for live birth has to be designed such that the fertilized egg can parasitically feed directly from the mother. Even in an egg...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I actually didn't say it HAD to be sudden though I do believe it does. However, what I said was this: "There would have to be either a sudden transition in the female's reproductive organs, or it would be incremental and in which case, there would be pathological evidence through continued...

    If they weren't sudden then how does the offspring survive? Do you or don't you agree that in the live birth lizard and the lizard that produced eggs, there would be an obvious difference in the reproductive organs?

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    If I remember correctly it was a single lizard, not several. But this really isn't responsive in the context of my question. Because this is a comment on the article rather than what would be required to go from egg to live birth. There would have to be either a sudden transition in the female's...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I think it requires divine providence if that is the way it worked. And then evolution is excluded. If you were to randomly dole out incremental changes, among a population of animals within a single species you are basically introducing a cascading failure scenario. At any point that the...

    What exactly would you expect to see?

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    No, you're whistling past what I'm saying. You can't use the evidence of the current condition of some reptile species as proof that extreme changes didn't have to occur in a short period of time in a different species if that species was first asexual. The theory of evolution says that...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    Because it would have to happen in a single generation if it were to happen at all. I don't think that article (I've read it before) is evidence that the species is changing. An egg could remain in the lizard and break, and a live lizard baby could emerge. That doesn't mean that the lizard in...

    So these are examples where the things that had to happen in other mammals didn't happen. That does not eliminate the need for the other mammals to have made a transition in the way described does it?

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I was asking a question. This doesn't answer it.

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    I don't need to prove that, it's a self evident fact required by the theory of evolution. If mammals transitioned from reptiles, they had to make the transition from egg laying to live birth. Those reptiles that are live birth are in the lizard family. And at some point down the line, they had...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    That doesn't work. At some point, where they weren't having sex before, they have to have sex. The organs have to develop independently in both sexes. They have to cooperate perfectly. Failure results in extinction. And if they didn't have sex they would just remain in that state of...
