"You can't seriously believe everything just kind of snapped together, had chemical reaction, produced life, and slowly worked it's way up over millions of years."
Of course I can! Stop telling me what to believe! You're persecuting me!!
Oh, wait. That's supposed to your line what with you being the creationist and all.
"I believe in intelligent design."
Well, that's unfortunate. Curable, but still unfortunate.
"What's more, my Creator also became a man and died for your and my sins."
How nice of him. Does he want a cookie or a gold star for his good deed?
"All the proof you need is in the Bible."
The Bible is not proof. The Bible is not even coherent for the most part. At best it would be of interest to historians, archaeologists and anthropologists but even they probably wouldn't find it very useful. The NT in particular is horrendous at accurately describing Jewish life of the time.
"I don't care if you disagree, but those are my beliefs."
How nice. I'll tell you what I tell everyone else that uses that excuse: you can believe any damned fool thing you'd like but if you want others to believe it to you'd better pony up the evidence in favor of it.
"Why don't dogs who have their tails or ears clipped have babies with those features clipped already? What about the women in Africa who break their necks at birth and put a ring on for every year, why aren't their children automaticly born with broken necks and cracked collar bones? Can you anwser that?"
Because Lemarkism is wrong. It's been disproved for quite some time now.
As an aside, as far as I'm aware, the neck is not broken (obviously or death would likely occur or paralysis at the least). It's simply stretched through gradual addition of collars/rings.
"How would the missing 'missing links' survive their transitions?"
Very well I would think. You're doing ok, aren't you?
"How would mouse changing into a bat live if it couldn't run, yet couldn't fly with it's half-wings?"
Mammalian flight didn't evolve quite like that. Evolution in general doesn't work that way either.
"If you can answer those questions easily, with proof, I'll be stunned."
I would answer but as I understand it, bat evolution is a bit sketchy. There's been some new developments from microbiology and I believe a few fossils have been found that are filling in the gaps but, essentially, bats appear in the fossil record pretty much fully formed. Now, now. Don't go saying "Ah ha! Goddidit!" either. Just because the fossils haven't been found doesn't mean they're not there. Evolutionary theory has predictions about what should be found, where and in what geological strata and it hasn't been wrong often. It's just a matter of finding them.
