To go from AARDVARK to BASEBALL, six micro-steps took place in between the two real words. However, the first six “words” could be labeled as A-species, while the last word could be labeled as a new B-species (based off of the first letter of each “word”). Therefore, A-species to B-species could be considered a macro-evolutionary step, while the little “in-between” steps are micro-evolutionary.
Here we see an example of ignorance in action.
To understand this analogy you must concede the fact that letters imply design and intelligence. You also must concede the fact that a certain pattern or order will be maintained to go from one word(animal) to another word (animal) all while not disrupting the pattern that takes you from one to the other.
This is a fatal flaw in the argument against teleology in Darwinian evolution.
Order and final cause must on some level be maintained for the finite result of AARDVARK to BASEBALL.
If not then using these eight letters we would have a nearly infinite number of possibilities to reach point B from point A.
