--No, but I know what It has taught me, that the old saying that 'biology makes no scence without evolution', is quite wrong, and that biology makes perfect scense untill you come to these words: 'Scientists think...', or 'scientists believe...', then you know what they are about to say.
"That the Lion is a carnivore,that it is born to be a carnivore and that it starves to death if it runs out of meat and that there is no fact in science that would lend credence to the hypothesis that lions or their ancestors ever grazed the fields side by side with the antilopes and the gazelles and that ONE MUTANT LION living on vegetables in a CONTROLED ENVIRONEMENT does NOTHING to alter those FACTS."
--If you can tell me two things, I will subside to your argument and withdraw it as invalid if: 1. Tell me why this lion, even being a single one, with its ability means that it is not valid for a population to do the same. 2. Avoid the assertion that because it is a single that it means nothing to alter these very flexible facts (that is if you know some basic biology, genetics, and inheritance).

If you can accept that at one stage in the past Lions were herbivorous, when now they are clearly not ... you are accepting
macro-evolution.
The physiological changes required to make a modern day lion
herbivorous are immense.
The lion in question (who survived on veg.) did so in a controlled,
husbandry situation. There are nutrients that cannot be obtained
from veg. alone that are required by felines. These MUST have
been added as substitutes.
If you can point to data which says this was NOT done, I will
start listening to this line of enquiry again. I will attempt
to find data which says these supplements were given ...
Biology makes sense without evolution.
Biology in general is concerned with the living organisms we SEE
NOW in the world. Where does evolution come into that ??
