Why do fish have fins and birds wings? "Because of evolution" is the answer of the vast majority of scientists who refer to the renowned interaction of mutation and selection which Charles Darwin postulated about 170 years ago.
Others, the so-called Creationists, claim that this should be utterly wrong. Fish have fins and birds have wings because an intelligent Creator designed them this way. This movement of fundamental Christians origins in the US of America but has also supporters in Germany. In fact the scientists do have a problem when they want to prove the evolution's mechanisms. The evolution of species cannot be just replicated by means of a large scale experiment in some laboratory. They can only reconstruct the evolution in tiny steps. But does that prove the theory of evolution to be wrong? "The Quest for Knowledge" sets off for a search for evidence.
