...by design dare you say...??
Via an intelligent process no-less! :)
Speaking of adapting...as far as I can tell, Adam and Eve had no need of wearing a coat, or even clothes for that matter, yet once they were aware they were living in a fallen world, that first chill of winter wind may have necessitated the *adaptation* of the first coat worn by humans.
Maybe it was later, or by someone else, I don’t have any idea, wasn’t there, but obviously humans *adapt* and as they traveled all over the world, came across all kinds of extremes and conditions and dangers and they adapted. The point is what we didn’t do is *evolve*.
Also, not only could scientists not develop (*CREATE*) a new species, but life PERIOD!
Man has been selectively breeding livestock and domestic animals for thousands of years and it has gotten us what, exactly?
