You don’t need to delve into the sub-atomic to prove evolution is bunk. Evolutionists can’t answer the chicken / question, they don’t know what birds did with feathers before they could fly, they can’t tell us why the first mosquitoes decided, on a whim, to start sucking blood. They have no answers to the easy questions...

"Evolutionists can’t answer the chicken / question,"
Female mosquitoes drink blood because they need the iron and protein to lay eggs.
Flight came before feathers, not the other way around. Pterodactyls could fly, and they didn't have feathers. Feathers came about as the world got colder. They have minimal impact on actual flight; otherwise we'd be gluing chicken feathers onto airplanes.
Feathers probably were used for insulation. Velociraptors didn't fly, but velociraptors had feathers. Even today, the ostrich and the emu have feathers and they don't fly. Young birds have feathers before they can fly. The yellow downy coat of a newborn chick is hardly going to help it fly. It does help it stay warm.
The ancestors of birds did not evolve feathers for flight. The ancestors of birds which had already evolved feathers for another reason simply found feathers conductive to gliding and, eventually, flight. They were co-opted for a completely different purpose. Now the details on how feathers became used for flight might be debated. Whether or not feathers evolved specifically for insulation might be debated. Exactly how feathers evolved might be debated.
But is it really that easy of a question? It's not because scientists have trouble thinking of plausible scenarios here. It's that they are spoiled for choice. There are a huge number of benefits feathers can provide non-flying animals. There are a number of possible ways flight could have evolved. There are a lot of variables.
I'm no scientist, but I remember reading that scales slowly became feathers. Besides, there are birds with feathers who can't fly. Pillows are filled with feathers, not to make the pillows fly, but to keep them warm and fluffy.
So, if it's such an easy question; why did the first mosquito decide to suck blood? No, Goddidit is not an answer, the question is still why . And, who created God. How do you know it was your god and not someone else's?
Chicken Egg Question:
Egg came first. Reptiles started laying eggs millions of years before the chicken of the modern sense came around. The egg in a recognizable state comes from the chciken...because only a chicken has evolved to make an egg like that.
Feathers without flight:
Mosquitoes sucking blood:
There...no degree and I have answered your three questions without hurting myself. I would like to see you do the same with explaining Why we have two eyes.
1) Something very similar to a chicken laid an egg that had slightly mutated DNA. What we call a chicken hatched from that egg.
2) Feathers are very good at insulating birds
3) Mosquitoes didn't suddenly decide to drink blood. It most likely arose from some sort of symbiosis.
What were you saying about no answers?
Confused?
