Darwin....so far

It really doesn't sound that bad. It really sounds to me like everyone has taken this to mean what ever they want it to.

So Far it would seem that what Darwin is saying is not evolution but adaption of a species. I have never doubted that beings will adapt as needed. We as humans do it all the time. If your job requires you to do something you learn it. If strength is needed you work out. I don't have a problem thinking that animals are capable of making little adaptations.

He keeps talking about how one breed is becoming extinct and being replaced with another, I think he may have mistook some of his findings.

Of course we all know about him going to the Galapagos Islands, finding the different types of finches and the ones specific to each island...he seemed to think this was a strange thing. I seem to think it the same as finding Cajuns in Louisiana or Mexicans in Texas. Different places will have different species....not a big surprise.

Extinction of a specific species and being replaced by another that is slightly different is just death and adaption. Time alone can change things, and with time the things that are changed are no longer.

There was once a creek that ran across level ground, the creek got larger and soon turned into a river. The river ran on that same ground for an extended amount of time until it started to cut the ground. Soon there was small walls around the river and the more the river ran the larger the walls got. Soon enough the small creek is the Grand Canyon.


Would you say the small creek is extinct and replaced by a new species or had simply changed over time?????
