This is a continuation of the Creation thread that I started that blackbird shut down due to over twenty pages.
Thank you, blackbird and I appreciate allowing to start another thread. I do not think we are through discussing this subject, although most people are not going to change their beliefs, this is an interesting discussion and in my opinion has been discussed with reltive decency and sticking to beliefs with very few personnal attacks.
I appreciate the way people have behaved themselves, because often in the past the evolution threads have gotten out of hand and those discussing here have acted very professionally. I commend each side for their decency.
I certainly hope the moderator feels the same way.
Let us continue. UTEOTW, I certainly do not think that tails or feet that absorb as an embryo proves anything. No more than a tadpole that turns into a frog. Of course, this is just my opinion and I am not trying to make any observation by this, but it does not do any more than vestigal organs, many of which have been shown to have a function. At one time the thyroid was one of these organs; now we know the major function the thyroid does. This is also a good example of how observations of future scientists will change theories in the future as their observations surpass old observations, due to increases of both knowledge and instrumentation.
