I see nothing there indicative of intelligent design, just the results of a vertebrate having adapted for life in an environment where there is possibility of extreme infection (a swamp). In fact, what I see is the result of natural selection, ie, those croc with stronger immune systems lived to breed and those with weaker systems died. Most mammals never emerged from swamp dwelling creatures and thus never had need to develop such resistant immune systems.

Interesting article, though.

Which ones did?

Many things bother me about evolution, but mainly its if its survival of the fittest, then why are there female species? If natural selection makes a species evolve into something better, how come we are not just one sex and can reproduce on our own? How would an intransient being know to somehow "evolve" into another sex? Do evos believe that "two" separate entities (male and female) "evolved" on their own, and at what point?
