If you had read the article I linked to, you would know that it demonstrated the accumulation of adaptive mutations -- by direct, detailed observation.

And this can be proven how? Why on small changes? Is this because it is the only answer to evolution? I believe so. By making it happen over millions of years anything can be interjected into the program at any time and the populace is supposed to be in awe how learned people can reach such hypothesis.

He found that T. rex might have had visual acuity as much as 13 times that of people. By comparison, an eagle's acuity is 3.6 times that of a person.T. rex might also have had a limiting far point of 6 kilometers, compared with the human far point of 1.6 km. These are best-case estimates, Stevens says, but even toward the cautious end of the scale, T. rex still displays better vision than what's needed for scavenging.
Heh-heh. Once again mixing up two different things that have to be independently evaluated, eh? Apples and oranges?
Kinds like evolution vs. ID?
'Best' is totally relative in your comparison.
Predators have eyes facing forward (TRex, birds of prey). The binocular aspect thus gained helps them identify movement and judge distances. Generally their vision is pretty good, for the same reasons.
Herbivores like Triceratops, for example, often have eyes on the sides. What they lose in depth perception they gain in having a much wider field of vision, reducing the chance that a predator can ambush them from behind (obviously identifying movement is also important for the same reason).
So, in terms of which vision is 'best', it all depends on what you are looking for - distance and depth, or breadth. both have their advantages, depending on whether you are the 'chomper' or the 'chompee'...
Indeed.
I wonder when the little chompee decided he/she/it wasn't gonna take it any more and started to be the chomper?

[or Man is right and life on earth evolved over time and God had nothing to do with it.]
But I believe in evolution as designed by God, and I believe in good and evil. I don’t see the either or pronouncement as meaningful. God created things however he pleased, and then gave us minds to figure things out.
By the way, how do you explain the speed of light and the 13 billion year age of the universe?
Dinosaurs, the new Neanderthals : )
;’)
That's because you are ignoring the "wages of sin is death" paradox. If evolution is true then eons of death occurred before the fall. So if the Fall did not cause death to enter creation, then Christ lied and He died for nothing because death cannot be defeated because under your belief system God designed death as a part of evolution. You're also ignoring God's own account of how He made Creation. So to say that you believe in God, but not what He says He did, well, that's not belieft, that's lip service. It lets you control who God on your terms instead of believing in Him on His terms.
Genetics is one of the most elegant and beautiful of God’s creations.
Got it covered.
I didn’t look at the date of the article I was pinged to! Hahahahahaha. I just replied to a 3 year old post. Wow! Sorry, unreply...unreply...unreply.
Oh, Mr. Rex, what big eyes with a binocular range you have.
The better to see you, you scrumptious little morsel... er...my dear.
Take THAT Horner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not important at all.
We should burn all the mounted fossils, bulldoze the Museums and destroy all books and literature on Dinosaurs, while stopping all funding and support for paleontological research.
Happy now???
