And the funny thing is... no matter how "far out" the breeding went, subsequent generations always returned to the archetype

So the city pigeons we have here in Florida should all look like wild pigeons.

But they do not. There are white pigeons, and calico pigeons, and brown pigeons, and many other types of pigeons. Why have they not returned to the archetype?

You will agree there's only so far they can go. There is an archetypical form for the species. Otherwise the fossil record would be chock full of transitional forms. It is not.

That's why we're discussing the notion of evolution occurring quickly - after all, we know evolution is true, we just need to fit the facts to match the theory.
