I didnt move the goal posts. Originally I said can you get a reptile scale to a bird feather or at least intended that. So I'll clarify. You can't get a reptile scale into a bird feather. They have different gene sequence. Plus I'd addressed you claim to begin with.
Ok, but still you are not addressing the fact that there is no
need to go from reptile scale to bird feather, as one most likely didn't mutate into the other, hence the links and quotes that I shared in addition to the bird gene. Implying that one has to either prove a reptile scale can mutate into a bird feather or else God created everything so that they must stay within "kinds" is a false dichotomy. If that is not what you are implying then I apologize in advance, but that certainly seems to me what you have implied.
For evolution not to be possible, there needs to be some delineation beyond which change can no longer happen. Once we have established that mutations can occur, the burden to prove that delineation is real falls on the party claiming it exists. Insertions, deletions, and changes to DNA are all well documented in biology - I mention that specifically to ward off the "new information" argument from earlier in the thread. Insertions are new additions to DNA and can happen for a number of reasons (a cursory Google search will certainly show you a plethora of examples), meaning there is a known pathway for new information to appear in DNA.
It should be no surprise that over the course of billions of years, once a self-replicating molecule (and abiogenesis is not the topic at hand so let's leave that alone for now) appears with a mechanism for mutation, evolution naturally follows with all of the beauty and variety we see today. The essential ingredient is that first molecule that can replicate. From then on, natural selection will necessarily drive change. To include some sort of restriction that a certain arrangement of genetic code can only ever mutate to a certain degree so that things can't deviate beyond their original "kind" seems ad-hoc to me and would need some kind of strong justification.
