Re: topic
So if we are going to question why evolution did not produce infrared sight, in my opinion we first have to prove that it even produced the eye.
Right, the problem with that is that they aren't proving evolution could produce infrared vision in this thread, that's the attack they are defending against. The topic is "IF evolution were true, it would work better." Throwing "How the heck could it work at all" in there undermines your own side's position and drags the thread off into tail-chasing.
RAZD seems to think the "Dogs wil be" thread might be a good place to discuss your own attack, and has gone to the trouble to bounce if for you. I personally would suggest Another Chance For Creationists To Recite Falsehoods About Intermediate Forms.
Please don't feel that you are being given the run-around with these topic calls. I certainly didn't mean to chase you out of the "Failure" thread, Brian has already stepped up to engage your pertinent arguments there. All I meant was, if you really want to debate Josephus/Tacitus/Pliny/etc then we have to get our own thread to do it in, in Inaccuracy somewhere, so we don't bog down Brian's Bible Study too deeply. His job there is to get people reading the scriptures and thinking about them, not argue textual politics. No hard feelings?
And, back on topic, anybody: how would infrared vision even work for us? I know a lot of animals have it, but to my knowledge they are all color-blind. They have rods only, in other words; wouldn't our cones tend to interfere with tracking heat patterns? What color would the infrared cone be?
