There's no such thing as an apex predator, excluding only man. While some say there is on the basis of size or ferocity, that theory doesn't hold up agains informed common sense.

A person doesn't first think of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and such small attackers as bugs, worms, and barnacles when picturing some hypothetical "apex predator" such as T-Rex, polar bear or sharks -- but the small can and will take down the big.

Even the brain-dead Darwinistic "natural selection" would theorize that something must EVOLVE take advantage of the shark, at some point in under 10 million years or so -- bang -- the whole species is gone, eh? Of course, one way in Darwinism is brain dead is in its inability to understand statisical inference and probability, so -- okay, given that Stupids' view of the world, yes YOU ARE RIGHT!

Sure. But you know what I'm talking about when I say "apex predator." All species fall victim to viruses, bacteria etc., but that's not what we're talking about.

Even the brain-dead Darwinistic "natural selection" would theorize that something must EVOLVE take advantage of the shark, at some point in under 10 million years or so -- bang -- the whole species is gone, eh?

Why? Some species fill a niche incredibly well, so it is very difficult for other species to "jump ahead" of them on the food chain. Anyway, sharks do get preyed upon by Orcas, and young and juvenile sharks get eaten by a lot of things.

Of course, one way in Darwinism is brain dead is in its inability to understand statisical inference and probability, so -- okay, given that Stupids' view of the world, yes YOU ARE RIGHT!

So, you're saying every species needs to go extinct in ten million years?
