Read the following carefully and with an open mind.
There are some creatures that defy all logic behind some well known theories.
Heres some examples: A bee found fossilized in a tree 120 million years ago is just like any normal type of bee found today.
The long time needed to adjust some unecessary functions is there.
Then how come that a bee still dies after it has stung an enemy, shouldnt a minor adjustment had taken place during that long time thus enabling it to reproduce more frequently.
Or there is a fish, Im sorry but ive forgot the name but youll maybe recognise it anyway, that for the last 10-20 million years has crawled on its belly and its small fins up from the water it lives in for a journey out in the swamps , thus in most cases enabling its death, (it has no structure that even resembles a leg and it has no lungs), shouldnt natural selection making it easy for this poor fish.
In these cases and many more its seems like natural selection is taking a vacation.
If not, then please reply(Im quite curious myself).
