Why do some snakes have shoulder blades?

Why are birds bones hollow, which makes them lighter for flight, but bats bones are not? Is it because birds evolved towards flight long ago while bats relatively recently evolved flight independently? If animals were designed by a higher intelligence, why not give all animals that fly hollow bones?

Why are there mutations?

Evolution has been observed, so I think that pretty much wraps it up.

You are someones creation... your parents.

Why do humans live longer then in the modern world than we did back in the stone age?

I wanted to chime in on this one too...

Is there only one, or at least very few of these things? Are there other varieties of these things that suggests some kind of heritage? Are they made up of materials found on Jupiter (i.e. mostly hydrogen)? Do they demonstrate any means of reproduction which evolution would require? Do they get their energy supply from the environment or from an internal supply? I suspect the answers to these questions would lead you to conclude that they are intelligently designed.

On the other hand, if an alien comes to earth and finds a human. Does he think it's intelligently designed?
* Is there only one or very few? No, there are billions - each sharing many commonalities but also subtle differences.
* Are there other varieties of these things that suggests some kind of heritage? Yes, there are a wide range of other life forms and fossil records ranging from apes to amoebas that suggest a heritage of traits. Ranging from simple life forms 3.8 billion years ago to complex life forms seen now.
* Are they made up of materials found on earth? Yes
Do they demonstrate any means of reproduction which evolution would require? Yes
* Do they get their energy supply from the environment or from an internal supply? They consume other plants/animals for efficient access to organic compounds for energy and self repair.

Conclusion: Humans evolved here.
