Re: THOSE FINCHES
quote:
Incidently Darwin was still a creationist when he came off the Beagle, but later was influenced by the infamous X-club of humanists.
Almost everyone in that time period was a creationist. What is your point?
quote:
(David Lack, Darwins Finches 1968)
The purpose of this is what? You don't quote him or refer to him in your post.
By the way if you really attempted to do some research you would know that this book was originally published in 1947. It was reissued in 1961 and in 1983. I see no publish date of 1968. If you put a date down for a reference you need to use the published date not the print date. Makes a bit of a difference.

What words mean
Vestigial legs in whales isn't even the most famous example of vestigiality, the human appendix is.
You are wrong once again Percy. The purpose of the appendix has been known for some time. It is a storage area for helpful bacteria in the digestive tract.
Maybe you should look up the word. I could give you a link, but it might help you a little if you actually had to do the research yourself.
In the words of Inigo Montoya.

Re: Exceptio Probat Regulam
You should look at my post Message 180
Hint vestigial does not mean what you think.
