The evidence is presented, among other places, in a book called “The Edge of Evolution” by Michael Behe. Before you claim that Behe has been refuted you better be able to point to one concrete example of stepwise evolution of a complex biological mechanism or system. Sometimes the reason we can’t find something is because it does not exist, i.e. mutations leading to improved organisms that came into existence by teeny changes accumulated over time.

The theory of Darwinian Evolution does not allow for accumulated changes. Each change must be “macro” enough to be tested by natural selection and “micro” enough to represent a single mutation. The statistical likelihood of such a thing happening within the time frame of 18 billion years and a universe of 10 to the 80th particles makes a miracle seem like a sure thing. And if evolution requires miracles how is it natural?

Since you obviously have no clue what you're talking about, perhaps you should go away and let the grownups have their conversation.
