Argument from incredulity.
​
To be honest, herebedragons, are you really interested in the answer to your question? (And there is an answer, quite a good one, which has been gone over in multiple ways repeatedly in this forum.) Are you willing to listen to a genuine explanation, or have you already decided that you won't accept it? Do your have any basis for your doubts other than you have been led to believe that science conflicts with your religion, and so science must therefore be wrong?
​
Before continuing, would you go over to the Berkeley Evolution 101 website, read through it carefully, and really try to understand their explanations? Are you actually interested in learning something?

Admitedly off-topic.
But looking at the list of serendipitus discoveries
​
quote:
1. LSD
2. Silly Putty
3. Discovery of Helium
4. Penicillin
5. Viagra
6. Mechanism for inkjet printers
7. Microwave oven
​
was there anyone besides me who wanted to see the results of an experiment combining LSD, Silly Putty and Viagra?
​
Sorry, I'll go to my room now.

Re: Admitedly off-topic.
See, this is why I love science. The things you learn.

Whoohoo, read a biology book! Good one! Strong reply!
Man you got me good with that one! How long did it take you to think of that devastating rebuttal?
​
Well, why don't you?
