Well, I have a lot of thoughts, so I'm not sure where to begin. On the simple level, have you ever wondered why it is that hippos are related to deer and rhinos are related to horses? What if this "web" discloses that the number of toes - used to relate these animals together - is a "crossed-over" trait rather than a merely a descended one? This is what I mean by how this could cause our whole Classification system to have to be re-worked. And a change like that is huge. That's one thought I have.

I might have actually thought more about that unobjectively. However, your first response was to celebrate how versatile and adaptable science is. Now you are responding as if this is a blow-off theory. Sorry, but that registers to me as contradictory. Which is why I concluded that you just want to argue for argument's sake.

I just hope you can understand that you don't need to defend science against me, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the shape or artistic contour of a sliced apple. Now how did a sliced apple plant design get into an animal's face? Through genetic transfer or reuse of artistic design by choice of the artist? http://www.alloftheanswers.com/Jims_World.html http://myspace.com/lampoilcansladder Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
