Now use a blueprint for the entire process and see the difference. Millions of species arriving on the fossile record all over the entire World fully formed.

Mussels included.

You know this how?

It is pretty obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. So why not either learn, or go away.
 
Wow

This may be a sign that the tide is turning in the U.S.

The religious ID folks were gaining ground to the North until this.

10-10-2006 Michigan backs teaching evolution ove intelligent design in science class

LANSING, Michigan - The State Board of Education on Tuesday approved public school curriculum guidelines that support the teaching of evolution in science classes -- but not intelligent design.

Intelligent design has also become an issue in the Michigan governor's race.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos, a conservative Christian, said last month that he approves of intelligent design being taught along with evolution in science classes


 
10-18-2006 Human Species May Split In Two

"According to an article at the BBC, an evolutionary theorist in London suggests that humanity may split into two sub-species within the next 100,000 years.

From the article:

'The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.'"

No missing link here, we already have the troll-like humans to prove it.

10-17-2006 Humanity may split into two sub-species

Further into the future, sexual selection - being choosy about one's partner - was likely to create more and more genetic inequality, said Dr Curry.

The logical outcome would be two sub-species, "gracile" and "robust" humans similar to the Eloi and Morlocks foretold by HG Wells in his 1895 novel The Time Machine.

Won't happen as there isn't nearly the long-term reproductive isolation that would be needed. Beautiful people can have ugly babies and vice versa.

wtf?!?! This is the worst sort of pseudoscientific, unoriginal speculative craptastic turd slinging I've ever read in the mainstream media. This belongs in a tabloid, not the BBC.

10-30-2006 Scientists back Pro-Science Democrat against Pro-Intelligent Design Republican in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Alarmed by attacks on evolution in the classroom, a group of scientists has recruited a candidate of its own for the Ohio Board of Education.

The scientists, calling themselves Help Ohio Public Education, are backing former Rep. Tom Sawyer, D-Ohio, over Republican incumbent Deborah Owens Fink, who has pushed for students in science class to be taught information for and against evolution.

Owens Fink, a board member since 1999, has run unopposed in past races and said she does not see the evolution debate as central to this race. "When you're very clear on what you stand for, people who agree with you are willing to step up to the plate," she said.

A conservative political action committee called Liberty Committee is backing Owens Fink.

Go Scientists :thumbsup:
 
I am tired of the assault on reason and science. Politicians twist it, lie about it, and ignore it. It needs to stop, fast. I'm sick of politicians who take up unintelligent and uninformed stances on science to gain support from the ignorant.

This can't be. It goes against everything Republicans believe in:

11-5-2006 Dolphin may have 'remains' of legs

TOKYO - Japanese researchers said Sunday that a bottlenose dolphin captured last month has an extra set of fins that could be the remains of hind legs, a discovery that may provide further evidence that ocean-dwelling mammals once lived on land.

"I believe the fins may be remains from the time when dolphins' ancient ancestors lived on land ... this is an unprecedented discovery," Seiji Osumi, an adviser at Tokyo's Institute of Cetacean Research, said at a news conference televised Sunday.

The second set of fins ? much smaller than the dolphin's front fins ? are about the size of human hands and protrude from near the tail on the dolphin's underside.
 
Dolphins? Heck, even pythons have remains of legs. Large pythons have decent sized claws near their cloaca. Heck, my ball python has two little claws back there too.
