Default Re: What prevents evolution?

[ QUOTE ]
When considering a generations' parents, the reproductive % between those parents appears to tend towards 100%, even though the range within that generation was 80-100% and had a difference from its parents of 90%.

(THE ONES THAT COULDN'T REPRODUCE DIDN'T REPRODUCE!)

This no logical basis for expecting reproductivity within a generation to reduce.

This is actually beautifully intuitive if you take a moment to understand it. The simplicty is what makes evolution almost certainly inevitable.

It *is* beautifully intuitive if you take a moment to understand it...as long as you don't believe accepting it constitutes a sin. That's where Sharkey/Skidoo's hang-up is -- he *can't* accept evolution, as he believes accepting it would go against his religion's teachings. So he fights tooth and nail to ignore the evidence, and keeps moving the goal-posts so that he never has to admit that he could be wrong.

There can be no other explanation as to why he continues to be so obtuse.
