no Godzilla's find out what nature has done to prevent that.

Death. Gene transformation leads to disease and deformity more often than Godzilla.

Nature hasn't created anything to naturally combat an artificially high concentration of radiation that would follow a bombardment by nuclear bombs.

I wasn't talking about Godzillas.............I was talking about subtle changes in the genetic code that can result in many different properties of unknown ramifications. The actual affects would be unknown as we have no prior experience with multiple nuclear bomb detonations.

Microbes are known for their abilities to adapt and change
to varied environments so that is the example I used. You brought up Godzilla...........that's why I called you bone head. I work in the field of genetic engineering..........I don't write fiction.

Some minor levels of radiation are present every day from naturally occurring sources like the sun. But nuclear bombs are a whole different ballgame.
