For those with open minds I would mention that the most obvious evidence as to whether evolution is even possible is in the area of genetics, and in the structures of the cell. Looking at the actual genetic mutations which we see in animals today, we can see than in most cases the resulting life is not viable. And that really significant changes just don't happen, and cannot. Exactly MOST changes are fatal, but NOT all, some have slight side effects. You are also right, significant changes can't happen, in a single generation, but little ones can and do, and are observed, these little changed may or may not make the organism more fit for its environment. Have you any conception of the timescales the process of evolution has been taking place over ? Steve |

Most mutations have no effect whatever. Most of them are in non coding regions. Even most mutations to coding regions cause no appreciable phenotypic change. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mutations.html Klazmon SNIP |
