Darwinism Explained So Even You Will Understand It

In an effort to give full equal time to the supporters of Darwinism, the link is here provided to what Fox news headlines as "Behind the Controversy: How Evolution Works." If you think that interspeciel change is possible through mutation check out this article to see if represents your point of view. If you think that God did it, I think you find this article pretty amusing: Here is a sample:

How whales took to water

Using evolution as their guide and knowing how natural selection works, biologists knew that the transition of early whales from land to water occurred in a series of predictable steps. The evolution of the blowhole, for example, might have happened in the following way.

Random mutations resulted in at least one whale having its nostrils placed farther back on its head. Those animals with this adaptation would have been better suited to a marine lifestyle, since they would not have had to completely surface to breathe. Such animals would have been more successful and had more offspring. In later generations, more mutations occurred, moving the nose farther back on the head.

Other body parts of early whales also changed. Front legs became flippers. Back legs disappeared. Their bodies became more streamlined and they developed tail flukes to better propel themselves through water.



Really, really. Go read the whole thing.
