Ring species as evidence for speciation

i'm from an hour or two south of there. brown anoles are ALL OVER the place, and have been since i was born. your story was very nice and convincing even, except for the fact that i've lived around these things all my life.they can change the lightness and darkness of their skin, and i think the patterns, according to environment. they're nowhere near as good at it as chameleons, but that is probably the origin on the statistical differences.-- although, the anoles surviving the colder weather up in g'ville may indeed be evidence of speciation.

i believe the reply will go something like this "i don't believe it! it's not happening god says so!"or better yet "wow, microevolution, but a lot of little changes can't possibly add up to big ones"

because, you know, they don't believe in addition.

now, THAT i don't understand. it was after all the sign of addition on which the savior was sacrificed, was it not?

well, the really sad part is that, in my opinion, there is so much more to christianity. people who get caught up in the absolute need for the literalness and inerrency of the bible miss so much.

this could be interpretted as an attack on certain board members.but as a christian, i will agree. genesis being literal is not something faith should be based on, and faith does not require proof.This message has been edited by Arachnophilia, 06-09-2004 11:49 PM

now you know that's not the definition.horses and donkeys interbreed all the time, and they're not the same species.
