So the reason the author wrote the book nor his views of God or Christianity is any part of this discussion?

If that is the case then Dawkins evolution fits nicly into my combined account of Creation/Evolution.

If you transport a polar bear to a tropical climate, it will have to adapt many of its habits to survive, and if it reproduces (ostensibly with other, similarly-afflicted polar bears), attributes such as coloration and insulation will necessarily alter over generations to better suit the environment. This produces polar bears much less capable of surviving polar climates, not only because certain attributes making life possible in the arctic are a drawback in the tropics, but because the bears will have to come up with a different diet which is probably much lower in fat and, therefore, unable to sustain fatty insulation anyway. That's how evolution works. It can also be the result of a random mutation which leaves the organism more vulnerable in some way, but because they are lucky enough not to face the specific threat, they may pass on a lack of protection for several generations, adapting to its absence. Which may come back to hurt it later if the threat really isn't gone. Evolution does not necessarily produce improvements all the time, nor are all of its adaptations beneficial or guaranteed to work.

Evolution is far more complicated than you obviously think.

Do you not see how your analogy fails?

In your analogy the 'polar bear's environment' has changed thus requiring adaptation in order for the species to continue. In the case of the "elite controller" the enviorment does not change. yet the virus mutates into a weaker form allowing the body to recover from it. If this happens over and over, that strain will go the way of the dodo, or so says your prophet Darwin.

But, this strain seems to be doing just fine as cases of it have been so numerous 'science' could no longer ignore it, and had to not only document it but come up with some cock and bull story as to why thee cases keep coming up. (Other than answered prayer.)

This is for all of you who ask Why doesn't God do miricals any more?

The Answer: He does. We just will not concede to what they really are and document them.


Drich once and for all there are no such things miricals....quit deluding yourself
