Evolution you say?

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT SIR!

The Earth came into being in 6 days, 11 hours and 23 minutes, its core is made out of hot chocolate and dinosaurs walked with men in the Garden, then they all drowned in the Flood!

Facts, evidence! Bah I say! Bah!

Think it takes thousands or even millions of years for animals to evolve significantly new traits? Think again. New research lends just a touch of credibility to the idea behind the popular sci-fi TV series Heroes, which portrays certain humans as having quickly evolved new astounding traits in response to increasingly tumultuous environmental pressures.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/04/scientists-disc.html">
In 1971 biologists moved 5 adult pairs of Italian wall lizards from
their island home of Pod Kopiste, in the South Adriatic Sea, and
introduced them to the neighboring island of Pod Mrcaru. Now, an
international team of researchers has discovered that introducing these
small, green-backed lizards, Podarcis sicula, to a new environment
caused them to undergo shockingly fast and large-scale evolutionary
changes.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/04/scientists-disc.html">
The lizards evolved entirely new digestive system features to cope with
dietary changes, evolved bigger heads and also ceased to defend
territories—an instinct once very integral to the species behavior back
on their original home </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/92464139-ADE6-45D3-B274-614B2ABF1355/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
