Certainly adaptation is seen all the time. That’s not all that interesting, to me.

The key question of Evolution is: “Do we all come from a common ancestor?” Perhaps there was once a simple single-cell organism. All the fish, all the birds, all the frogs, all the primates, all the cats and dogs come from that simple single-cell organism. Or do they?

Having frogs get darker does not, in my opinion, contribute to that central question.

I want to see frogs turn into toads, or mice turn into bats. Show me a species that turns into another species. Or at least define “species” in a stable way rather than a “it depends” kind of way.

I put Evolution in the same category as Climate Change. Seems like a religion to me.

One of my liberal friends is a big-time evolutionist. I asked him if we evolved from apes, why aren’t men walking out of the rainforests still today? Why did the evolution stop? Why aren’t we evolving into a more advanced species?

His answer was that the evolutionary need has been fulfilled, so evolution stopped. Yeah, OK.
