What do you say of the fossils that are of dinosaurs with half-evolved (I would have used developed, but that word does not fit very well in this sense) wings?

Pure creationism has no valid evidence at all. Evolution has some valid evidence.

Your distinction between "micro" and "macro" evolution does not show the theory of evolution to be false. "Micro" evolution is actually good evidence supporting the theory of "macro" evolution, because it is one of the things necessary for "macro" evolution to be possible. A theory is, after all, the best available model that explains the evidence at hand. As I have stated repeatedly, the current theory of evolution is undergoing re-evaluation, and could be not 100% accurate. This does not prove that evolution is wholely wrong, only that our current model is flawed. Once all of the evidence can be taken into account, the theory will be adjusted to fit. This happens in science constantly, and will happen with the theory of evolution.

The evidence we have supports evolution, and not pure creationism. Please stop just saying "evolution vs. creation". That is a bad distinction to make, because the two do not actually speak of the same events. Creation is a hypothesis about what happened at the beginning of the universe. Evolution is a theory that _does not_ make any conjectures as to what happened at the beginning of the universe. If you refuse to believe this, I am sure I can find you an exact quote on the theory of evolution to prove that it does not speak of the beginning, only what happens now, and in the distant past. They are not actually mutually exclusive, because they do not address the same issues. It is hypothetically possible that both are true. I think you are making the same mistake that a lot of people do in associating evolution with an anti-thesis of creation.
