JFQ, You still there?

My main point is that evolutionary theory is a tale we tell about the data we do have, but until we come across intermediates or force evolution in the lab the critics can complain that the theory is not above dispute as science.>>

Freddy, did you read the article a couple of days ago about the lizards that were transplanted 20 years ago to several different islands in a chain? (I forgot which islands, but it doesn't matter) It seems that the lizards developed different characteristics to accomodate the different types of vegetation that the lizards fed on. The islands with the taller vegetation had taller lizards and longer necks. They all came from the same parents. The scientists were amazed at the rapid adaptation to the environment. It looks like those poor suckers that couldn't reach the food didn't have descendants. 20 years!
