Snail Changes Outpace Evolution's Slow Crawl

by Brian Thomas, M.S.*

Scientists observe many changes to animal physiology that occur too quickly to fit the “slow and gradual” concepts favored by classical Darwinian evolution. An illustration of this type of rapid variation is the ever-growing list of dog breeds, which proliferated to over 150 from only a few dozen strains in just a couple of centuries. Now, the size of certain Atlantic Ocean snail shells is providing further evidence for speedy diversification within species, having “actually increased by an average of 22.6% over the past century.”[1]...

Oh, make no mistake, I don’t believe the self appointed “scientists” that argue on these threads have any other agenda than to “prove” that God doesn’t exist and didn’t create the universe.

You said earlier that you didn't argue on these threads. I see. You have no argument. Thanks.

Interesting. Mr. Thomas has a bunch of references! A bunch of references back to himself. He should relabel himself as a circular type of guy!

Can you read? Most of those references are attached to a single line where Thomas draws attention to things he has previously reported on.

Makes his list of references appear impressive till you read them and find out he is merely referencing himself.
