Changes

No one has explained how new, specialized kinds of teeth could have supposedly evolved, and it appears rather to be a case of [[intelligent design]] instead of “microevolution” (variation within a kind, as suggested by various creationists) or “macroevolution” (new kinds of organisms, as suggested by evolutionists).

The Cavanaugh et al. (2003) hypothesis of [[Baraminology|intrabaraminic]] variation of all animals that belong to Equidae (or animals that they did put into Equidae, even if the evolutionists put some of them in different families) is not well supported by the available evidence and ought therefore to be abandoned...

According to [[Julian Huxley]] (arguably one of the most prominent evolutionists of the last century) at least one million positive mutations were required for the modern horse to evolve. He believed that there is a maximum of one positive mutation in a total of 1,000 mutations. With the help of these values Huxley calculated the probability for the horse to have evolved from one single unicellular organism was 1 in 103,000,000. He believed, however, that natural selection would be able to solve this problem. But this faith did not help him in the end, and will not help any other evolutionist either, as this calculation is based on the origin of positive mutations, even before natural selection would start to work. If all electrons in the universe (about 1080) would have participated in 1012 reactions every second, during the 30 billion years which evolutionists have put as the upper age limit of the universe, there would still not have been more than c. 10110 possibly interactions—still a long way from the Huxley calculation.<ref>[http://creation.com/the-evolution-of-the-horse The Evolution of the Horse] by Mats Molén], Creation.com</ref>}}

[[Evolution|Evolutionary]] biologists believe that the modern horse has slowly evolved into its present form over the course of about 60 million years, from ''Hyracotherium'' (60 million years ago) to our "modern-day horse," ''Equus'' (1 million years ago). This claim is based on various pieces of fossil evidence arranged in an apparent evolutionary pattern, such as the change from five toes on ''Hyracotherium'' (some vestigial) to three toes on ''Mesohippus'' and then to the single toe of ''Equus'' along with the progressing development of hooves. The skulls also shows an evolutionary trend from fossil to fossil, as do the teeth changing from a browser to a grazer.<ref>[http://chem.tufts.edu/science/evolution/HorseEvolution.htm Horse Evolution] from Tufts University</ref>

Medical school professors routinely tell their students, "If you hear hoof beats in Texas, think horses not zebras." This is to illustrate that when diagnosing a patient think of the more common diseases rather than rare exotic ones.
