@inotaishu1 Interesting, thanks !!!

@orangemod As far as I know you can distinguish the modern horseshoecrab from its jurassic counterpart. However even if their exterior didn't change the same cannot said about their interior since fossils usually can't show that.

daogdaog, evolution does not work on speculation and assumptions. It is hard science and when papers are submitted for peer-review, they undergo scrutiny. If unfounded assumptions existed in any of these papers the peer-review process would tear them apart. As for the horseshoe crab not changing, even I (a total non-expert on science) can answer that. Perhaps the horseshoe crab was well adapted to it's environment and did not need to evolve much if any at all... other species as well. Cheers

Good stuff!

Woah, are you really trying to suggest that correlation = causation in the latter half of part 3? I know you keep saying "I'm not attributing this to evolution", but you *do* seem to be attributing it to a _belief_ in evolution. You, as a scientist, should know better than to suggest that correlation = causation, and even though (I think) you are using this as a simple example, you ought not give your less-educated followers a frankly useless and unscientific talking point. My 2 cents, at least

@daogdaog "Although giraffes can feed as low as 0.5 m and as high as 6 m off the ground, it appears that they most often feed between 2 and 4 m (7–14 ft).[38] However"
it's not that hard to use wikipedia dude. 7 ft. isn't just above the ground.

@Nixom1334 another thing to consider is their neck battles, giraffes with long strong necks have favorable chances while competing with rivals for food and/or females.
to your other argument Okapis and giraffes are cousins although yes Okapis are extremely old, even considered living fossils. but this is where branching comes in, where common ancestors divide into different species. commonly because of habitat as we can see with the giraffes habitat: Savannah and the okapis: Jungle.

@Nixom1334 another thing, like I said the concept is right even if darwin is wrong about giraffes. the conceot being Natural selection and evolution. please give me the name of what you think the common ancestor is because there is one. I already gave Sivatherium. another thing, giraffes do feed on Acacia trees, I think it's acacia I could be wrong regardless it's a tall thorny tree, hence their long leathery tongues. tongues perfectly evolved to eat from thorny branches.
@Saiaton Not a single instance in any of Paul's writings claims that he ever meets or sees an earthly Jesus, nor does Paul give any reference to Jesus' life on earthTherefore, all accounts about a Jesus could only have come from other believers or his imagination. Hearsay.

@atalkingcow Fine, a computer programmer can make a ai agent in a computer and you can say it's "evolving", but the programmer created the agent, the agent didn't create itself. Evolution doesn't mean that there is no creator, and if there is a creator, then it's not evolution, it's creation. And that's the whole argument, we can be here for ever arguing semantics. The important thing is who started the process, not how it happens. I can say that creation is evolving.
