But you're right on both counts. [b]Transitional forms don't exist[/b] and complex organisms could never have evolved - entropy and all that - [b]you can't get order from disorder[/b]. As some of you know I spend a considerable chunk of my free time photographing wolves. I love wolves - such beautiful and noble creatures. Every time I look at a picture of a wolf i realize how unique they are and marvel at the fact that they look exactly the same as they did thousands of years ago. Wolves are just the way they were in the Garden at the time of creation. The proof: if there were such things as evolution, natural selection, mutations, variability, adaptation, even inter-breeding we would at one point have discovered [b]wolf-like creatures[/b]. I will calls these fictional transitional creatures evolved from wolves "[b]dawgs[/b]" for lack of a better term. [i]Canis dawgus[/i]. Yet we have no evidence that dawgs ever existed - no fossils exist of these forms. Continuing this argument, dawgs would have evolved/changed over time and through breeding. As a result, today we would probably find very large dawgs - let's call them GrateDanish dawgs - and there would be tiny little dawgs - some might be so small as to fit in a woman's purse. But while it is fun to fantasize the whole concept of a fictional creature called a dawg - evolving from a wolf ancestor and actually diversifying into hundreds of forms (let's call them breedz) - this is total nonsense. As your textbook must have stated, entropy would never allow for that and the "missing links" have never been found. Cavemen coexisted with dinosaurs - not dawgs - that's why their pets were called "Dino" and not "Fido".
