The sixth sense

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2002.02.02 at 16:24:49(8136) I believe in survival of the fittest. But I do not believe that it brings on genetic changes. I agree plants adapt to the conditions take a certain plant and put it in the sun they will usually have smaller leafs than ones in the shade. But switch conditions and they turn back. Not genetic change just adjusting to conditions. Now these things I can take in and believe. Believing that they can turn into new species is hard to take. Besides were are all the subspecies? If you have a saber tooth tiger you must have thousands of bones of the tigers with medium size teeth. That turned into the present day tiger? The fact is they have one or the other no in-between mutations. +More Another thing is the fish Coelacanth. This was the fish thought to have grown legs and turned to lizards and dinosaurs. the species is 400 million year old and has not changed at all? As for the crabs:>) Well I do agree if you pick out a certain look. Like the shells and take all the ugly ones out you will have tons of crabs with helmet shaped shells breading giving you more of this design. BUT they are still craps! This is were it gets confusing when does one jump to a new species? Has any of them actually done it? If only certain looks gets one to reproduce and survive. We will all one day look like Mel Gibson and Pamela Anderson. Now that's food for thought _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
