Presto, blinko .... i'm an ape

The evolution debate is one of my faves because people on both sides of it (whether creationists or evolutionists) have such blind spots. Any how, this is an interesting article worth reading:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/12/13/evolution.speedup/index.html

What I find fascinating about evolutionist's blind spots is that NO ONE denies (or should deny at least) the idea of micro evolution - species evolve in specific ways to adapt to their environments. The big question is whether a species can completely evolve into different one = macro evolution. And, too, when exactly does that point come? When is a homo sapien, not a homo sapien any longer, I wonder?

At any rate, the above article is an interestings one, if an incompled one, because it fails to report what changes have actually occured over the last 1,000 to 2,000 years that qualify as evolution. It quotes a scientist telling us there have been changes, but we just don't seem to get at what they are. I wonder if my brothers and sisters 2,000 years ago were homo sapiens 1.0, and I'm more of a homo sapien 5.0. And when my great, great, great great, great, great...................great granddaughter has evolved into a homo sapien 10.0, will she really still be a homo sapien or a completely different species. hmmm ....

So far away ...

If there are any faithful readers left still perusing my blog, I apologize for being away for far too long. Life happens, unfortunately, and my time has become quite precious. I was reminded by a friend recently that I have not posted in quite some time, and I began feeling a bit guilty for not posting. So, even though my future blog posts may not be as long as they have been in the past, I'm going to make a concerted effort to post more often - for those of you who are still paying attention, anyway!
