Now if only they can change their underware fast enough when it all comes crashing down on them that this is not evolution. No change of species; just cousins that look different.

"High-predation females invest more resources into current reproduction because a high rate of mortality..."

And did you ever notice how lawn grass that gets mowed produces seed heads on shorter stems?

The thing that bothers me about the evolution debate is that you either buy the whole evolution theory and ignore all anomolies in the data or you are a 6k'er. I have issues with evolution but I am not a Christian so I find it almost impossible to discuss. The issue is completely coopted.

Clearly this evidence could be supporting evidence for evolution theory, but it could also just be that larger babies are best and when females arent under predation threat they grow to full term.

Do they become anything other than a fish? There is a difference between speciation and evolution. I suspect that what is occurring is speciation.

So, in the low-predation area, did fewer of the offspring of the guppies that produced more offspring survive and reproduce than did the offspring of the guppies that produced fewer (but larger) offspring? If so, that would be natural selection, with the offspring of the guppies that were genetically predisposed to produce fewer, but larger, offspring more likely to survive and pass their genes on to the next generation. But the article didn’t say that-—it merely reported that in the low-predation area guppies did not see the need to have as many offspring. That’s a change in behavior, not a genetic change. It’s not natural selection or evolution.

It is fast, and it goes with what many of us Creationists believe to be true. It happens a lot quicker than what many think. Important note, these are still guppies and will forever be guppies.

Bigger guppies are not a new species.

Who even knows what the definition of Evolution is? Evolutionists say it means measurable/observable changes in species over time, yet they also say it is how all species came from one. That’s a huge difference! They act like thinking that way is no big deal. There is a scientific probability for the first, the second is the biggest joke in scientific history.

Evolution in Your Face
by Patrick Huyghe
Omni
Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, is home to more than 300 species of cichlids. These fish, which are popular in aquariums, are deep-bodied and have one nostril, rather than the usual two, on each side of the head. Seismic profiles and cores of the lake taken by a team headed by Thomas C. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, reveal that the lake dried up completely about 12,400 years ago. This means that the rate of speciation of cichlid fishes has been extremely rapid: something on average of one new species every 40 years!

It’s also not classic evolution.

Nothing changed....a guppy is still a guppy.

Not really that fast. I saw my ex-wife go from hot sexy babe to cold bitch in less than a year.

It took me years to understand that this was a permanent evolution of the organism and get out.

I call divorce survival of the fittest.

My family line has developed several new traits. We have only two wisdom teeth and an extra muscle in our hands. (Discovered that during carple tunnel surgery.) Evolution does go on.
