It's OK Mr. Gobble. But I don't think I was part of this, but it is interesting isn't it?

[furball4paws]

Little beestie.

"There is one other carnivorous catapillar in the world btw, also found on hawaii. It catches and eats flies.

God I love nature.

If you keep this up I may have to get out my damn book!

It's OK Mr. Gobble. But I don't think I was part of this, but it is interesting isn't it?

You had posted about Ichy and surmised that we needed more information so I tagged you with a couple of posts with more information. Maybe not what you expected, but you were handy.

"Hate to disappoint you, but I posted a thread on this last night. "

Yah? And no one called us? You need a slap upside the head.
Grumble grumble frizzn frakid ...

Now thats not playing fair! You know your not supposed to be asking those questions of them. What is it with you people anyway? You should be able to read those pre-cmabrian fossil records. Its all there, cant you see?

LMAO!!

At least you don't have a problem with Dr. Collins and his views on evolution. Thank you.

"I'd sure like to know how those came about without the aid of an intelligent agent.

>=6 million years of evolution as a social mammal.

Why don't you demand scientific proof of the Theory of Gravitation, or scientific proof of the Atomic Theory?

These theories have greater certitude. Both are within the realm of current observation, testability, etc. Both are also in need of further revision, no doubt. The notion that man is the product of a 4.5 billion year-or-more history of unguided phsyical processes is a shade more difficult to offer up as firmly as those theories you mentioned, yathink?

Of course, it's also been mathematically proven that there isn't enough water on the planet to flood the entire planet but no sense in letting evil, godless science spoil a good fairy tale!

Be sure to remind yourself of that one as you stand before the Great White Throne Judgment. Apparantly you sincerely believe that conclusion will save you from it.

It's OK and it was interesting, but I was talking to bobdsmith about Ichy's posts on the snail-eating caterpillars on another thread.

Man these things acan get complicated, so complicated that IT MUST BE INTELLIGENT DESIGN. But I assure you most of my babbling borders on the unintelligent 8-)

[Fester Chugabrew]

6 million years of evolution as a social mammal.

And you base this conclusion on what prior assumptions?

[furball4paws]

You have to be on the "Meat Eating Caterpillar" ping list. See PH.

[hocndoc]

Oh, wow! Deep curtsey to you, Sir!

[Sofa King]

"after all we are just undereducated, wild eyed, Christian fundamentalist, know nothings.....until you ask for scientific proof..."

...and then they post a great bulk evidence, you ignore it, and go on being undereducated, wild eyed, Christian fundamentalist, know nothings

When does evolution begin?? how does it begin??

Evolution is a process that naturally occurs whenever a type of object can reproduce, but with slight infrequent imperfections. The various imperfections are variants. Those variants that have more chance of reproduction tend to spread, and those variants that have less chance of reproduction tend to disapear.
