re: #205 goddamnedfrank

I think it’s a fundamentalist argument rooted in God creating every species that ever existed during Genesis. They’re asserting some kind of a “conservation of species” law that somehow isn’t violated if a species gains new characteristics in toto, but is violated if man evolves from apes but there are still apes.

Okay, well, we have observed speciation, so I guess it’d just be proving to them that we’ve observed speciation. Other than that, the fossil record of the horse is one of the more complete ones.
