You failed to comprehend the fact that the wavy line to the _right_ of 
the parent was the daughter.
The dotted lines represented the supposed evolution.

It's obvious cdesign is a deliberate, purposeful and utterly dishonest

You are incapable of understand just plain English, so it obvious you 
engage in personal ranting insults, slander and character assassination 
order to obscure or hide your own failures and mental shortcomings. I'm 
wasting my time with you, because of your inabilities.
