Re: Migration and Instinct

This orientation by stars is very interesting. I suppose darwinists do not like it - it would require some random mutation that created in heads of birds some map of celestial bodies on firmaments which they compare with real position of stars. I am not expert on navigation but even seamen do not oriented themselves on sea by stars without some other devices. So problem is so complicated that even experienced learned observer is unable to solve the orientation by star with naked eye only. You have to know the exact day and time you know.
And behind such phenomenon of birds orientation is only random mutation that created celestial map in their heads. According darwinism migratory birds without such celestial map created by RM did not survived - natural selection sent them to Hades I suppose.
All correct: right up untill you use the word random without qualification. It is of course not random. Selection is taking place.
You even mention it.

Re: Remedial Reading For MartinV
Do you remember in the 80s when Bluetits started to raid milk bottles in the UK? A very interesting example of behavioural evolution.
Look here
It's a very good site from my uni.
Anyone tell me how to shorten links?
