"In order for evolution to work, the whale needs to turn into something else. And the chimp needs to turn into something else.


Give it a few million years, If they don't go extinct first they might."

Yes, there are many people who have faith that your comment is true. Others of us have faith in Someone else entirely. :)

If this goes on, in a hundred generations, humans will be obligate citizens, incapable of surviving in the wild without advanced medical care.

Revolt and die.

I think that's a different species than the current crop, adapted to a different environment.

Denying adaptation is denying reality/truth...

If you believe in God, I'm sure you would concur that He could 'poof' everything in to existence if He chose to. Right? (I'm not asking you to agree that He did, just that He could.)

Oh come on, you call that webbing? That's a pretty far stretch there, kiddo. Better hang on to something so you don't fall of that evolutionary tree.

If the Christ of God, in His sorrowful life below, be but a specimen of suffering humanity, or a model of patient calmness under wrong, not one of these things is manifested or secured. He is but one fragment more of a confused and disordered world, where everything has broken loose from its anchorage, and each is dashing against the other in unmanageable chaos, without any prospect of a holy or tranquil issue. He is an example of the complete triumph of evil over goodness, of wrong over right, of Satan over God,-one from whose history we can draw only this terrific conclusion, that God has lost the control of His own world; that sin has become too great a power for God either to regulate or extirpate; that the utmost that God can do is to produce a rare example of suffering holiness, which He allows the world to tread upon without being able effectually to interfere; that righteousness, after ages of buffeting and scorn, must retire from the field in utter helplessness, and permit the unchecked reign of evil. If the cross be the mere exhibition of self-sacrifice and patient meekness, then the hope of the world is gone. We had always thought that there was a potent purpose of God at work in connection with the sin- bearing work of the holy Sufferer, which, allowing sin for a season to develop itself, was preparing and evolving a power which would utterly overthrow it, and sweep earth clean of evil, moral and physical. But if the crucified Christ be the mere self-denying man, we have nothing more at work for the overthrow of evil than has again and again been witnessed, when some hero or martyr rose above the level of his age to protest against evils which he could not eradicate, and to bear witness in life and death for truth and righteousness,-in vain... (not!/link)---."

...moral and physical"...

So,

1. Do you or do you not agree that animals can adapt to a new environment?

2. Do you or do you not agree that animals that have a better suite of genes for a new environment are more likely to live long enough to pass them on to their decendants?

3. Do you or do you not agree that animals that have a worse suite of genes for a new environment are less likely to live long enough to pass them on to their decendants?

Note: These three questions do not require any reference to the existence of God, Christ, Allah, Buddha, Darwin, Krishna, Marx, shmoos, fairies, imps, democrats, or any other outside author or authority, real, imagined, or inconceivable. Just answer the questions. Is change possible? Does it make a survival difference what genes you bring to the party?

A normal human could answer with three words. Pick one from each set of two:

1. Agree/Disagree

2. Agree/Disagree

3. Agree/Disagree

I'm not asking WHY you agree or disagree with any of the statements, just WHETHER you do or not.

Are you genuinely incapable of a straight answer to a straight question?

a group of things forming a unit or constituting a collection

as in a group or collection of genes.

I'll take this as an answer to my previous question. You really can't answer a simple question.

How sad...
