Jon, Sorry, what I posted was all I know on that particular subject. >> There is a difference between the limited variation found in the genetic pool of any given species and the kind of changes envisioned by the theory of evolution. Creationists have no argument with the kind of limited change that takes place from generation to generation within a species. << Maybe you can answer me a question. What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution, such that you can accept one but not the other? Why is it impossible for evolution to change, say, saltwater lobsters into sweetwater crayfish? Why couldn't mutation and natural selection modify a lizard into a snake? What unbridgeable gap is there between a savannah monitor and a Komodo dragon? JSW
