Obviously, tuskless elephants are being born. (right?)
Their numbers are increasing for two reasons.
1) Poachers are killing the tusked elephants, thus reducing the size of the tusked gene pool. (right?)
2) Poachers aren't killing the tuskless elephants, thus the size of the tuskless gene pool is increasing because the tuskless elephants are breeding. (right?)
If the trend continues, then eventually, there will be no more tusked elephants because their gene pool will have been depleted through poaching, leaving only the tuskless gene pool from which elephants will be born. (right?)
I can't believe we're debating these simple breeding techniques used since time immemorial to control and direct the results of breeding, but there you have it --creationists on parade.
If you think this is incorrect, please explain how you think natural selection works and we'll go from there.
Or, do you think natural selection is a bogus concept and that everything (and I mean EVERYTHING!) that happens on Earth is as a direct result of divine intervention?
Do you believe animals breed and pass along their traits (good and bad) to future generations?
Or, do you believe that all (and I mean ALL!) animals appeared on the Earth in their current form as a direct result of divine intervention?
They STILL haven't shown that tuskless breed true, or that it's recessive.
Just a lot of words about about what MIGHT be going on.
