I seem to remember you as being an evolutionist and I always seem to see you on these threads.

Evolutionist is not the word I would use.

I accept that the evolutionary model is the best we have from the evidence gathered to date.

Mostly I post about what I do know. Orbit theory, spacecraft, astronomy, etc. It rather quickly goes over my head during the biology, paleontology, and geology discussions here. Albeit, since my dad was a PhD geologist, I learned something about geology as I grew up. :-)

I had a thought the other day as I walked down the hall of this large avionics manufacturing factory inwhich I work. It seemed that almost everyone I saw had some kind of a rather nasty infirmity. One guy was 400 lbs and could barely walk, one guy was in an electric wheel chair and had twisted limbs. One guy had a shrunken arm, most of us wore glasses, many had very clumsy inefficient walks as if they had had broken limbs.

It occurred to me that we have come to a point in technology where the least fit do just fine. It really took very little time for this to be the case too. Only a few hundred years ago most of these people would probably not be alive. So if evolution were true then the whole concept is blown out the window by man and his ability to invent things. Now there is no reason for us to improve.

The other thing is that if you consider how fast we went from bible technology to today's technology, it is really silly to imagine that man could have lived in caves for 2 million years and then exponentially accelerated his development in the last 2000 years.
