ok I would like someone to point out whats on the pages Color0024 and color0025.
How is it possible for ANY animal to transform over a period of thousands of years? If thats teh case, the animal is renedered unusable. it isn't able to get any food, water, it cant walk, it cant do anything but sit there. Thousands of years? haha, try death in 2 days.
If a bat did turn into a rodent like described, and it took thousands of years for those wings to turn into legs, whats in between? Its not in a usable state if its "in-between".
Are you taking the piss? Seriously, read any proper scientific description of evolution, because what you've just said indicates a shocking misunderstanding of the process, and you need to understand the basics before it's worthwhile me or anyone else replying. I'm not lying, or joking, to say how shocked I am by that statement.
But, bugger it, I'll try and explain anyways.
Ok, an individual animal does not sit still and 'change'. Evolution is the process of gradual, random changes selected by a discriminatory set of survival and reproduction processes. Changes which make the animal less able to survive, or reproduce, are removed. those beneficial (the converse) become propagated, gradually, across the species. Speciation is a result of the combination of multiple morphological changes.
Let's take a wing. Ok, let's say we have a rodent (NB: this refers to the species, not an individual). This rodent, thanks to selection, develops the ability to climb trees (to escape predation). Over time, selection pressures will favour mutations that give the rodent better climbing abilities, like sharper claws for digging into bark. Now, say that rodent wants to move quickly between trees, without touching the danger zone of the ground. Again, selection - survival - will favour a mutation that, say, creates very small flaps of skins between limbs. You can see this, for example, in gliding squirrels. Selection will continue to favour mutations that aid the gliding ability, i.e. 'push' towards larger 'wings'; flaps of skin and limbs. Eventually, should the right mutation arise for it of course, wings may occur and be selected advantageously. Ergo, you have a 'bat' descendent of our original rodent.
EDIT; note; the term 'want' means 'it is advantageous'. This is not signifying a conscious desire or intentional push towards a physical change; what I mean, is that if these particular changes arise, they will be advantageous & thus selected. Our rodent may get on perfectly fine without elongated limbs or gliding flaps; but if they arise, that new species will be better equipped to survive. Also, for simiplicity I've not mentioned issues like speciation here; the 'rodent' is not a single individual or species, but a representative term for steps in the chain between the original species and the end - flight - species. Also, at any stage another species may branch off. for example, you could have one type of descendant that purely flies ala a bat, and one that only glides but exists because the 2 descendent species occupy different environmental niches.
Now, all these transitional forms have a small change from the descendent form beforehand. In all cases, it's a slight advantage, so it's selected by simple survival (natural selection).
EDIT3; That is, evolution does not 'jump' between radically different body types. It's slow and gradual, and the selection is responsive rather than anticipatory; i.e. out hypothetical rodent will not grow wings then jump up trees, it'll jump up tree and then, should the mutations arise, evolutionarily 'preserve' these advantageous wings. Negative mutations - such is wings on a rodent that lives on the ground (note; such gross mutations are highly unlikely, and evolution accounts for this too), would result in that animal probably dying before it could propagate its genes, or at least its descendents having such a reduced fitness that they are likely to go 'extinct' as a sub-branch of the species, hence why these changes are only seen on animals they would benefit (rather obviously).
Those 2 pages, right there, are laden with inaccuracy and downright falsehoods. If you want another example of small animal - flight transition, examine dinosaur fossils such as archeopteryx.
Oh, and I'd wager the 'quotes' there are being taken incredibly out of context and skewed for effect. It's essentially propaganda material, devoid of validity.
