Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] DNA Offers New Insight Concerning Cat Evolution

[Vern Green <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Nice, but these are cats Mike, they look like cats today, they looked
like cats then. There is no evidence that there was ever a cat to
evolve intellegently enough to build a house, or how about a cat that
evolved to walk on two legs instead of four? Or how about a vegetarian
cat? Sure, they may have evolved to fit their surroundings, but they
are still no matter how different, a feline.

Apes on the other hand, well Chimpanzees and Gorillas are hardly
changed in the 5 million years, yet man has changed so much more
drastically and quickly. I read an article that stated the amount of
evolution that man has gone through in this supposed history is so
drastic that is not paralleled by any other creature in existance.

I heard an evolutionist on the radio on New Years Day, and if I can
find her name I will let you know, she essentially was saying that to
claim man evolved from ape would be a mistake, her main issue was with
intelligent design people who do not believe in any form of evolution
(which is entirely untrue as well). While she did maintain that
evolution is a proven theory, she was saying that it is far from
proven that man and modern ape evolved from the very same creature.
