		<description>David,

I hate to tell you, but it&#039;s not surprise that some animals survive and some don&#039;t.  Evolution, I don&#039;t need that to see that animals live and die, evolution doesn&#039;t predict that, it&#039;s life in a fallen world.

It&#039;s common sense that there are animals that live and some don&#039;t and it&#039;s a fact that some animals we think should go exiinct and don&#039;t.  LOL, we as humans are depleting animals with are bad habits of destroying environments, evolutionist has nothing to do with it for example.  We can wipe out all the fish in the oceans if we choose to poison them, what evoluition says they will die!  LOL, it&#039;s commno sense that they have to die if we posion them, evolution doesn&#039;t predict it, it&#039;s common sense, and I don&#039;t need some scientist that believes in evolution telling me that.   And I got news for you.  There are animals that are very weak and shouldn&#039;t exist, but they do, why because they are someone or somethings else food.  There is a balance, predotors have things they hunt and eat and vice versa.  Symbiotic realtionships, that are there, that evolution has nothing to do with unless u are looking for another ad hoc to explain the 100&#039;s of thousands of those relationships and evolutionist love to story tell it as if it&#039;s all that easy.  Male/female relationships forming opposites all at the perfect time in 100&#039;s of different animals.. give me a break.  Bees and polination and honey, oh my, like they can explain every relationship just happens to evole at the right time and place.. I&quot;m not buying it.. Andny no offense but you can keep that theory.</description>

		<description>I find it very ad hoc evolution.  Not one evolutionist stops to think that when they find animals that look identical to what is in the fossil record, that should falsefy it.  But the evolutionist is a great story teller.  They can explain it away... yada yada...  When they found something alive that looks like something in the fossil record when they preached for years that things in the record went extinct then when something that looks identical, well.. it&#039;s not a big deal.. that&#039;s a problem.  I&#039;m not that gulible.  Secondly, evolutinist don&#039;t think... look at the type of mutations we have for example in humans, the diease, the decay!  They dont&#039; stop to think that if humans have been around as long as they say if you measure the rate of mutation and diease and decay in humans over the past several hundred years, imagine this, we shouldn&#039;t be here at all!  But the evolutionist, I&quot;m sure they will have another story to tell.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Hello I can predict things.
I predict that some species will go extinct…&lt;/i&gt;

Well done. But as David already said, that&#039;s not what evolution predicts.

&lt;i&gt;Nor is saying that the animal will adapt to its enviroment.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not sure what you&#039;re saying here. Can you please clarify?

&lt;i&gt;I don’t want to sound mean, so sorry if I do.&lt;/i&gt;

We&#039;re here to talk and debate. As long as you&#039;re not flat-out insulting anyone, no problem.

That&#039;s not saying much my great grandfather could do that too and he did&#039;t know evolution.
Nor is saying that the animal will adapt to its enviroment.

		<description>Will - evolution does not predict that any particular animal will go extinct, just that some species will be out-competed by others.  We see that dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, and saber tooth tigers no longer exist.  In human history we&#039;ve watched dodos and passenger pigeons bite the dust, out competed by us.  Perhaps Homo sapiens will never go extinct, but we certainly see other species in the Genus Homo from which we evolved that are now extinct in the fossil record.

Fish that live in caves where there is no light lose their site because the ones that have random mutations which cause blindness are not selected against. The fact that different proteins are knocked out in different populations of fish confirms that the process is random.</description>

		<description>Many of the things u say makes no since.  U say we will see no macro-evolution in are life time.. how do u know when humans will go exitinct to never see it?  It&#039;s an assumption.

  The theory of evolution accurately predicts that we will find evidence of species that once existed but that are now extinct

This makes no sense either.. I exist, right now.. evolution predicts what that I will be exictint someday?  Based on what.. the coelcanth was suppose to be exitinct, but i have heard excuses that its a new type of species, that looks just like the fossil record?  Please, it&#039;s a contradiction, and u assume we will be exitinct without ever really knowing that.

Fish loosing there eyesite, isn&#039;t something to say it&#039;s a survival of the fittest, ever think they were made that way?  And no evolutionist likes to explain why they would go blind, to make it harder to hunt, or how they manage to survive until they develop new hunting techniques.. sorry, but evolution (macro) doesn&#039;t happen...</description>
