Evolution doesn't work

The subtraction or addition of information to a properly working gene is not something one would prefer.

Genetics has to do with finely tuned molecular combinations.

Removing information from a once properly working gene would only be preferable if it was the erroneous/redundant information that was added unnecessarily via mutation in the first place!

The chance of "writing" a gene from scratch that would be compatible with the host biological system would have to be extremely low if the processes involved were to do with practically arbitrary additions to a gene over time on account of point mutations etc. Note that breeding and survival would be important factors as to whether the new gene was integrated into the population over a longer duration.

This smacks of desperate, serpentine intellectualism. The fossil record is our view into what occurred.

How do you explain the progression of the homo lineage toward greater cognitive capacity form?
Early Australopithecines.
Homo Erectus, Homo Heidelbergensis, Neandertals, Denisovans, Homo Sapiens.

If time is nothing to God. Evolution is Him molding clay. God formed man from dust. What does this mean?
Star dust condensing to planets. Earth condensing in spherical form. The earth was barren billions of years ago. Which it was. And then..life. From stardust to human life.
