So, he predicted in 1862 that Madagascar has a species of hawkmoth with a tongue just slightly shorter than 30 cm. The creature that pollinated that orchid was not learned until 1902,

That's waht I love about science. If I had been concerned over how the flower gets pollinated, I would have sat undera tree with a good book, and watched out of the corner of my eye. I guess those people who take 40 years to observe simple creatures (word properly derived) at work and play is indeed a keen display of intelligence in the scientific community. I wondered who paid for the grant?

This is one of the GREAT PRESUMPTIONS. I see something, therefore if I think it can be seen differently, it is evolutionary thinking.

In the same scene, I can see God's display of variety and elegant symbiosis. I see CREATURES of the air, and of the lands, and of the seas. All as different as clouds at sunset, and babies in the womb!

I see the Garden every day on these threads... and alot of whispering serpents!

"Surely you will not die!"
