The Beak of the Finch Wonderful book BTW, for those who haven't gotten around to reading it yet. -------------- "CO2 can't re-emit any trapped heat unless all the molecules point the right way" "All the evidence supports Creation baraminology" "If it required a mind, planning and design, it isn't materialistic." "Jews and Christians are Muslims." - Joke "Sharon" Gallien, world's dumbest YEC.

(Sorry, someone had to say it.) -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Anyone got a spare island on which I can carry out my experiment into speciation?  I was thinking of marooning great danes and chihuahuas on the same island, ensuring that they have different food sources, and leaving them for 200 years, then seeing if they stand any chance of interbreeding.

I think my jaw fell open and I just sat there dumbfounded.

Everyone should learn the proper response: "If God made us from dirt, why is there still dirt ??"   -------------- "CO2 can't re-emit any trapped heat unless all the molecules point the right way" "All the evidence supports Creation baraminology" "If it required a mind, planning and design, it isn't materialistic."
