That's a stretch of micro evolution and technically not considered micro evolution as its due to nutrition and environment, not genetics.

I was just going devils advocate. I don't care either way other than I think God created the earth a whole lot longer than a few thousand years ago

I think I've seen some in Bham that's going the other way.

No, it has not stopped. But you are talking about a process that is incredibly slow. Evolution happens through random mutations at birth. A snake isn't going to just be slithering along one day and suddenly start to grow a leg as you mentioned. Most random mutations are harmful to the particular creature that is born with it and do not enhance it's ability to survive. Every once in a very rare while a creature is born with a random mutation that actually helps it survive better than the others of it's speices. Animals that survive better live longer to spread their genes to offspring that will also have the mutation or at least the potential for it. But there may be hundreds of thousands of life cycles in a certain species before such a beneficial mutation occurs if ever. And even then it may take a very long time for the decendents of that original genetic mutation to increase in numbers until they become the new normal for that species. We humans live about 80 years or so. That being the case it's pretty hard for us to observe a process as slow as evolution.

Exactly. And if artificial selection can generate the changes we see in animals in a relatively short period of time just imagine what natural selection can do over millions of years.

Good reading on Macroevolution

The problem with discussing topics like this is that the requested answers and evidence can require deeper reading than most people want to engage in. But the above link lays it out pretty well if you have the time and desire to read it.

hahahaha. That is reverse evolution men wearing rompers

LOL! Yes it is.

I agree, that is probably one of the best laid out sources for macroevolution out there to read. If one can ignore the wild guesses, gross errors in reasoning, false statemetns and manipulation, it actually makes sense.

Again, total devils advocate just because I enjoy the discussion;

But what is the defense of the other side, that they have to ignore? Besides faith, what The Bible says and you don't feel like you came from a monkey?

The ladle is big with this one

I hope it is enlightening on both sides

How about this. What an incredible find. Almost perfectly preserved dinosaur, scales and all. Perfect Dinosaur

That things gotta push 3,900 or 3,950 years ago

That is probably in the same file that said Hillary would win the presidency by a landslide.

If it could fly it would look like one of The Game of Thrones dragons.

Prolly just an enlarged photo of a petrified horny toad.

There's a map, easily accessed via Google. It shows the human geneome track and how it spread through the planet. Since DNA is now a trackable thing, it really does solve the spread of humanity on the planet. It also makes perfect sense, if you look at it.

I'll believe evolution when one of the proponents gets on CNN and states that there are distinct differences between the races(breeds) of humans. Until then, I'm with the creationist camp.

Can't have your cake and eat it too.
