I thought this was the place to have that debate!
My point is that the book of Genesis embraces evolution, you don't have to disregard creation as it is expressed in the bible to except that evolution was the tool of God that put us here.
As for examples of "novel" developments, none of starthanes examples are novel, a novel feature is a compound eye as compared to a lensular eye, a ladybirds carapace is not a novel feature.
One scientist working for a year would enable 365 generations of fruit fly to come into existence, it would take millions of generations for a novel feature to occur.
Faith is blind to truth, it's like believing the story of the nativity and the immaculate conception, which was told by Luke who never met Jesus or heard him speak. People base their fundemental belief on this fact, rather that on his words, and people have died if they don't believe it. Jesus wept.
Look a bit more closely, and while you live - learn. It's all there for you to see and, according to the bible, that's the only reason you're here.
