You still dont understand how the theory of underdeveloped moth larva developing mutations for metamorphisis is waaaaay more complicated and less likely than a creator.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75814481


You don't understand that the truth is often complicated. Saying 'magic did it' is simpler than explaining the actual science behind something, that doesn't make it true.

As for it being more likely, that's just an assertion. What evidence do you have to back that up?

Edit: Once again, as I already explained, metamorphosis didn't begin with the moth. You still don't understand the idea you're arguing against. Read this: [link to www.scientificamerican.com (secure)]
 Quoting: DPS7


Underdeveloped larva managing to SURVIVE AND develop mutation for cacoon AND mutation for jumpstarting growth is beyond magical.
 Quoting: Spur-Man


But it's not, mutation is an observable, natural phenomena. Premature birth happens all the time. Turning dirt into an adult man is literal magic. As in supernatural transmutation.

Mutation is one mechanism that directs evolution, but there are others. All the evidence suggests butterflies evolved from moths, and moths evolved from earlier insects. There's no evidence that a supernatural entity caused moths to spontaneously appear from dirt.
