Default Re: What prevents evolution?

This is the reason I objected to the term speciation in the first place. It causes people to believe there actually are lines, and while it usually appears there are lines in SPACE, when we consider whether there are lines in TIME it becomes obvious. Clearly, the line of generations between human/chimp ancestor and me has NO lines. At no point does one change into a different species. Its just because all the intermediate groups are dead that it APPEARS there is a line. Skidoo is then free to attempt to use these imaginary lines to make his arguments. They don't exist. Just like piles don't exist, at least not if you want to make the argument that a grain of sand can't turn into a pile.
