You didn't die in infancy, so it has to have happened; the truth, if you'd bother to think, is that organisms have a variety of automatic processes that occur in them to keep them alive. Eels just have one extra, with regards to their magnetic sense. Hell, it doesn't even have to be an alterable thing, it could be a one time deal, a permanent magnetic recording of the point that they were born at.If that is so, why don't you make another species (donkeys for example) return to their birth places from anywhere in the world
Then we will not need GPS we can use Donkeys!
Quote:I'm saying the instinct to return to the place of one's birth was cultivated in the eels through natural selection, since those that had that instinct survived at greater rates for returning to a place they could confirm as safe for them.
Quote: On an individual level I'm sure there's some eels that went off to other places, perhaps some of them even survived, but not in sufficient numbers.They must be in millions and outnumber any others?
Quote:Yes, the earth's magnetic field. Now, if you want to assert that a god had to be involved too, you'd need to provide actual demonstrable evidence, equivalent to the data that scientists have produced on the topic of navigation by magnetism.This supports the existence of intelligence guidance.
