This is the final nail in the Creationist coffin

This is the final nail in the Creationist coffin.

The only real argument Creationists ever had for not accepting evolution was the idea it seemed improbable that complex and useful biological attributes could be evolved. They argue that the random mutation of a complex useful structure is unlikely (it is), but they also argue that the evolution of a complicated useful structure is impossible as an organism will not be able to utilize the evolutionary structure until it is significantly complicated (ie it is the culmination of a series of mutations dependable or IC). Creationists say this puts organisms in the preliminary stages of evolution at a disadvantage as they’re left with a half-formed but useless structure which would only be a waste of resources. Because of this disadvantage the organism (and it’s genetic uniquity) would die out.

The study has shown that complicated structures can be evolved, not by the random mutation of complex features but by the gradual culmination of unique mutations. This was one of the biggest untested aspects of the theory of evolution, we know have irrefutable evidence that it is in fact possible.

I highly recommend reading the original piece (yes it’s also linked in the article)
