I love reading this thread ...I have learnt plenty.
It may have started by with an I'll prepared post but the knowledge shared as a result was well worth it!
OK, so evolution is a fact ...that's sound like a robust scientific model.
Can I ask, say with sharks, etc they call them the perfect killing machine and say they haven't really evolved since the dinosaur ages.
I can understand that as their perfect environment hasn't needed them to change...
Does it actually change or mutate as a result of of the environment or is it oblivious to the environment and mutates anyway. Does the idea of the short neck/long neck giraffe still hold.
Both mutations were alive and healthy but as food got scarce only the long neck survived simply as a result of the environment. Basically dumb luck ... The DNA obviously didn't know that there's going to be a food shortage in the future. So as far as giraffe DNA is concerned, it has prospered through one of its mutation variants...
Basically, when does a species stop evolving?
