The question is nonsensical. DM is using scientific taxonomical terms and you are asking a question using the imprecise popular meaning of "cat."
and they are still cats. right?
ley me to do that simple. do you agree that a vision system is different from a motion system that is different from hearing system? its like the diffeirence between a cell-phone and a digital watch. a cell-phone has several parts that a watch doesnt and vice versa. right? so what make you think that any such different systems are near each other?
Of course I see the difference. That is why I have been emphasizing that I was talking about evolution by a designer. I am glad you finally understand what I am asking.
by a designer and not by a natural process. do you see the difference?
And mammals are still mammals. Do all mammals have a common ancestor?and they are still cats. right?
No, you completely misunderstand the evolution of whales. THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. Evolution has nothing to do with hierarchy. Only adaptive change. The progression of fossils I gave you showed a progression linked by a middle ear formation that began as a random mutation in four footed creatures, who returned to the sea. This random middle ear formation became the basis for sonar of cetaceans. IOW, because of what was originally a random mutation, we can follow through the fossil record the gradual mutations from four footed mammals to cetaceans. But there is NO HIERARCHY. There is only adaptation to environment via natural selection over a long period of time.so? you gave the whale case as evidence for evolution because the hierarchy in their fossils. so i point out that we can arrange also cat fossils from the small to the big one. its of course doesnt prove they evolved from each other in such hierarchy. so the same is true for the whale fossils.
They are used for different things, but they may be based on the same building blocks.
Like how a wheel can be used for transport, but when used as a pulley, the wheel can be used for an entirely different purpose.
but they are different kinds of mammals.
both are also animals
. so what?
and they are still cats. right?
Many of the structures of the nose and heart are the same, such as arteries, nerves, muscles, and the proteins that form them.but an heart structure is very different from an eye structure or from a nose etc. so they dont base on "the same building blocks". they are actually very different from each other in both structure and function.
by a designer and not by a natural process.
Of course I see the difference. That is why I have been emphasizing that I was talking about evolution by a designer. I am glad you finally understand what I am asking.
Ok, so you have given zero evidence that zebras popping up out of thin air is more likely than theistic evolution. So how do you know theistic evolution is wrong? Theistic evolution is far closer to the actual evidence than animals popping up out of thin air.
And mammals are still mammals. Do all mammals have a common ancestor?

but again: we can see that progression in cats too (from the small to the big one). and yet it doesnt prove any evolution.
whale sonar is also evidence for design. since all sonars we know about are the product of design. so what make you believe that such a complex system can evolve by a natural process?:

but an heart structure is very different from an eye structure or from a nose etc. so they dont base on "the same building blocks". they are actually very different from each other in both structure and function.
but its shape is very different from other organs. as we also have many shapes of proteins:The heart is a muscle, and it is built from the same basic building blocks as the other muscles you have.
We have strong evidence against animals constantly popping into existence out of thin air--the law of conservation of matter and energy.incorrect. first: we have many evidence who contradict stepwise evolution.
secondly: it will be odd for a designer to design creatures in millions of years that looks like natural process rather then just design them at once.
Wait, so all cats come from a common ancestor because that is a narrow definition, but "mammals" is a broad definition?true. but this is a broad definition. unlike the cat case.
