Lets talk Atavism.
"An atavism is an evolutionary throwback, such as traits reappearing which had disappeared generations ago." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism )
How come we humans have the genes to create fully functioning tails? Whales have genes for hind legs and chickens got teeth genes?
Evolution easily explains this, in fact it even *predicts* evolutionary leftovers or 'junk DNA' from previous generations.
Not only does this junk DNA positively fits in the nested hierarchy of life model, it also has no negative contradictions. Like how we don't have genes to create feathers for example. This is because unlike apes, birds never were an evolutionary ancestor of us Homo Sapiens, therefore we obviously would not expect to find those leftover genes.
I'm curious, how do creationists explain the fact that animals (including us) have genes that are leftovers from their ancestors according to the evolutionary 'tree of life' model?
