 ac> We could breed thousands of generations of fruit flies under
 ac> conditions of increased mutation and selection and see if we
 ac> end up with anything that is not a fruit fly.
 FR> If you're looking for specific instances of directly observed
 FR> speciation events, just ask me.  I would be more than happy to assist
 FR> you in divesting yourself of that ugly willful ignorance.
How many speciation events does it take to produce something that
is not a fruit fly from a fruit fly population?  Sigh, I am
impressed that you can even remember to breath.
 ac> Are you not aware that it can be observed that some
 ac> mountains are still "pushing up."?
 FR> It's called "isostatic rebound," ignorant fool.
Normally when a man (for lack of a four letter word) calls
another man ignorant he informs us of what the other man
is ignorant of.  My choice of words does not reveal
ignorance.  However, you ignorant fool, it is ignorant
to think that using common language is wrong.
 FR> Ever notice continental uplift?  Ever read a _geology_ text book?
Why yes, thank you.  That is exactly the explanation for
why it is stupid for a chimp like you to claim that it would
take many times the amount of water presently in the oceans
to flood the ancient world.  The scientific ToC predicts it.
So much for your monkey theory.
 FR> In fact all scientists adhearing to scientific method apeaking within
 FR> their field accept the fact of evolution.  It's only the ignorant lay
 FR> man who would like to pretend it doesn't happen some how.
How do you know?  Did you poll them?
