Having achieved rationality and sapience, our species is able to see beyond the range of the moment
and adopt moral codes that rise above "kill or be killed" or "if it is natural, do it."

There is no there in your argument.

re: 'there is no there'

Apparently, issues such as 'what created our physical universe' (or for that matter the validity the 2nd law of the thermodynamics) has no bearing on this theory. That's good to know.

And for that matter, evidently other little issues for those not in the know (e.g. lack of species in transition) are also irrelevent. Color me enlightened.

I have to admit though, I'd personnaly like to see the results of an experiement to show that a dog could eventually develop a giraffe length neck (through milk bones raised ever so higher on the wall). I'm sure the ASPCA would never permit something so monstrous. And besides, I'm a dog lover. But it would be neat to see it be proven (macro evolution that is).

And along those same lines, instead of an experiment, why not just do a world-wide search of the wild for a physical speciman that shows a chimp evolving into a man (i.e. a living missing link or for that matter the breeding of a dog that would have a giraffe-type of neck). At least something better than a femur which has a drawing of the Lucy chimp-man drawing superimposed... or for that matter an 8mm film of Sasquatch).

Hmmm... why do you suppose that we don't find such animals today.... did the process take sabattical among only certain mammals? Details, details. Who cares, we've got the hammer (Darwin's theory) and thus the world is now a nail.

I'll stop wasting bandwidth, as apparently those details are but minutia for the intelligentsia.

Peace.
