Here is a balck and white statement about races of people from the New Testement:
Acts 17:26 "From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."
We all tend to believe everything is chance and luck but the Bible makes it very clear that God gave different peoples to different lands. I would be not suprised at all if this is the same with animals.
Once animals (and man) settled then, sure I'm a Galapogos man, and naturalism takes over.
ROTFL and you think we demand a lot of evolution. Your evolutionary speeds dwarf macro.
