Message-ID: <1732@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Fri, 19-Apr-85 10:38:34 EST Article-I.D.: decwrl.1732 Posted: Fri Apr 19 10:38:34 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 21-Apr-85 05:07:10 EST Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: DEC Engineering Network Lines: 21 You got my message!!! YOU replied: "By your own admission it's Bunk. (cutting off rat's tails producing changes) Evolution can't be induced by severing limbs, since such gross actions will not alter the GENETIC (italics mine) make-up of the creature. Evolution requires a change in genetic structure." BUT you see, Padraig, that is indeed MY point, BUT that is not the point of the Evolutionists I quoted in the posting (Jay Gould among them). THEY see behavior as a MAJOR (99%) factor in the anatomical evolution of the human form!!!!!! Now we religionists indeed have our burdens to carry in the form of claims made and beliefs cherished by our coreligionists, BUT the point of my little "lame" satire was that perhaps evolutionists also labor under this little problem???? What do you think? Warm Regards, Ken Arndt
