Genetics Proves Evolution: The Creationist's Galileo Moment
When you look at a chicken embryo with a microscope as it starts to
develop you will see that they have teeth buds and the beginnings of
multi segmented tails. As they develop their DNA, which among other
things contains activation switches, tells the developing embryo to
absorb them. This is the same process by which humans absorb their
own vestigial tails.
Now if you turn off the genes that control this absorption instruction
you get chicken embryos that develop long multi segmented dinosaur
tails and meat eating dinosaur teeth complete with the serrated inside
edge. Both results of which can bee seen using a simple
magnification. Other studies have also been successful in changing
scales to feathers.
The process used to do this is called atavism activation.
This is not hypothesis. This is not supposition. This is not
interpretation. This is cold hard, hold in your hands see with your
own eyes type reproducible proof. It has already been done, in
Canadian universities no less, and is documented and reproducible.
It should be noted that at no time was any DNA ever added to or
removed from the chicken DNA. This was done using 100% pure chicken
DNA.
They have proved that bird DNA contains genes that create dinosaur
characteristics and the only way this can happen is through the
process described by The Theory of Evolution.
So like when Galileo first pointed his telescope at the heavens and
learned that Aristotle was wrong modern scientists have pointed their
microscopes at developing bird embryos and learned that they are
correct.
The Theory of Evolution is real.

The beauty of this proof is that it only requires genetics no other
disciplines are required, not dating evidence, not the fossil record.
Just the fact that if not for methodologies within The Theory of
Evolution how did these traits that are not used by the modern chicken
get into the modern chicken.
