Yes! A savage living in the jungle that attaches life to a creator is actually in better shape and closer to the truth than most scientists.

Hey don't get me wrong- things adapt. I personally have to adapt every 5 minutes. The long eons of change are the things that tickle me.

If you're a panda, and your bamboo dries up, or you're a koala bear and you eucalyptus trees die from a beetle-- how long do you have to adapt? A billion years? No, probably about 2 days I imagine.

How many millions of years did that whale have to adapt when he found himself in the Thames? He didn't adapt at all, and so evolved himself right into the grave.

In real life, if an asteroid is coming, if the temp changes 100 degrees in one evening, the sun flashes, the ozone gets sparse- how long do you have? About 5 seconds.

Your grasp of what evolution says and how it operates is so horribly, sadly wrong. Please do stick around and keep reading. (If I'm a panda or a koala or a whale in the Thames, I'm but one organism. I'm not a population. And, if I've already passed on my genetic data, it doesn't even matter..)

Populations evolve, not individuals. Populations also go extinct. If the change is too great too quickly, populations die. If the change only kills off a portion of the population, any existing characteristics active at the time including those important to the survival of the few will be passed on to succeeding generations.

BTW you'll find more strawmen on creationist sites and the 'Wizard of Oz' than anywhere else on Earth.
