In the Chesapeake Bay, crabbers have been forced to use “cull rings” in their traps - small plastic rings that let baby crabs escape and grow up. Wouldn’t you know, smaller adults are escaping too, and are now creating a population of adult crabs that get no larger than about 4 inches across.

Oddly enough, the guy who pointed this out to me also doesn’t believe in evolution.

Neither do I, and I posted the article! There's a difference between "evolution", which is a philosophy more than anything else, and empirically observed natural selection/adaptation. The latter is observable, the former is just an assumption made that the latter has been happening for extremely long periods of time.

The way I look at it is: God wrote adaptive algorithms into the code. Makes sense really. If you're gonna create life to live in a dynamic, changing environment, you're gonna have to code the system that way.

God created evolution.
