Pack Rat Middens Give Unique View On Evolution And Climate Change In Past Million Years

"Evolution" does not prove anything it is a theory.

"Gravity" also does not prove anything, and it is also a theory.

Perhaps you get confused. Most people past the age of twelve are pretty capable of handling a diversity of opinions and information without confusion. Not so with True Believers who use mental compartmentalization in order to avoid mixing disparate facts that might lead them to doubt their faith. The mental effort (largely subconscious) required to maintain the compartments ... often leads to --- an impaired intelligence. Mixing, after all, is what intelligence is all about.

Thanks to pack rats, however, these voles have not been forgotten.

Stylistic complaint: why "however?"

[r9etb]

In one Colorado cave, a pack rat collection of teeth and bones has yielded a layered slice of vole history between 600,000 and a million years ago, providing an unprecedented picture of how a species changes and evolves, and how its evolution is affected by climate change.

I have some problems with the scenario that the packrats kept returning to this cave, which was only "periodically open" during that period.

There is an amusing yet decidedly snide comment to be made here, but I'm not going to be the one to make it.

Gravity and evolution are theories !

" I'll believe in evolution when my desire alone for a whole lot of money is enough to be matched by an anonymous spontaneus billion dollar deposit in my checking account "

paraphase quote of gore3000 !

Isn't that liberalism ... money trees - magic ---- wishfull reality - thinking ?

Sorry, I thought they said Rat Pack.

"Gravity" is a theory, ok moving on.

Let me know when you move on to evolution, I'll get back with you.

It's a time warp you live in and your mind will come to my mind minus your evolution. There are no paths to evolution in my mind our Heavenly Father saw to that He got to me before the "maybe", "probably" "possibly" could be, might be crowd did.

So it's just a jump to the left? (And then a step to the ri-ii-ii-iight.)

your mind will come to my mind minus your evolution.

Come clean here. English isn't your first language, is it?

There are no paths to evolution in my mind our Heavenly Father saw to that He got to me before the "maybe", "probably" "possibly" could be, might be crowd did.

This is more meaningless gibberish, thinly disguised as an attempt at conversation because it has some semblance of sentence structure (which is a bit more than at least one poster around here) that makes it look like you don't accept evolution because the "Heavenly Father" has installed some kind of mental inhibitor. It's clear that despite your obvious ignorance you are not here to learn and you're not here to share information, so I'm through with you.

Ashes to ashes

You're dead to us.

There you go again, so full of yourself, peering down in your high evolutionary state of mind.

Do you really think one whose mind comes from pond scum can possibly insult me? Guess so, that is all you have accomplished in your "tower of babel" of words.

I do understand why you would think that my English is horrible. That is what happens when one tries to describe the fairy tale presented by the evolution crowd. Horrible English!
