But since you cannot demonstrate anything changing from >one species to another, then it is not a scientific fact it is a 'faith'. Calling something adaptation makes sense to you? Your approach is nonquantitative and nonscientific. Theories don't have to "make sense". They have to work. Speciation is observed. This is the fact of evolution. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html Various theories of how this works grounded in cellular biology constitute the research area of the theory of evolution. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html -- Daniel Packman NCAR/ACD pack@ucar.edu
