| There are so many questions about "evolution" that never get asked. For example, people fail to distinguish genetic drift (minor morphic changes) from evolution. Genetic drift has been observed many times from Darwin to the present, but as far as I know, it has not yet been clearly established (in the lab or paleontology) that there has been a new species that evolved from a pre-existing species. If I am wrong, I will be happy to read your evidence.
The argument "well, we have had billions of years for evolution to happen" doesn't cut it because random effects cannot produce the changes seen from protozoa/bacteria to mammalian forms in this time span. Nearly everyone admits that most random effects are counter productive, for example.
So, the argument continues. I am always amused by the fact that BOTH sides take their position as a matter of faith. I get as much heat from either one by arguing the other side. |
