   Maybe someday friend james will pay attention to what he reads; behold:   
    >   
   >But don't get evolution mixed up with changes within a species.   
      
   Who mentioned biological evolution.  The observation directly from God's   
   2nd revelation is quite simple, do try to follow.  For example; any of the   
   dino species from some 60 million years ago do not now exist.  Any f   
   today's species did not exist then.   
      
   The species in the past 60 millionn years did not remain constant; but   
   which ones existed at any time changed.  That makes no reference to   
   biological evolution as explanation; it is only to direct observation at   
   any time period.

   >move him up to Antarctica and he will grow a thick coat. That is not   
   >evolution. It is just changes built in the DNA. After this, it is   
   >still a dog.   
      
   A short answer, nonsense.  Did the jw vatican really try to teach you that   
   or is it just your current guess ?  You will find *no* person in the   
   socalled "young earth creation" groups who will agree with you on that   
   dog fairy tale.  Features of dog coats do not change if moved from alaska   
   to florida.   
      
   Here is the short version, domestigated dogs have been around for some 15k   
   years.  Each variety/breed emerged to serve a particular function valuable   
   to those who domesticated them for hunting etc. during that time span.   
      
   Humans chose in each litter to breed those with the desired features for   
   the function they wanted.  That process in all domesticated animals was   
   exactly the same.  Humans continue to choos which animals to breed even   
   now.  Any farm kidd can tell you that.   
      
   Fyi, plants such as grains/lentles etc. now exibit their various   
   features/functions for the same selective breeding reason.  Domesticated   
   animal/plant varieties originated from their wild forms, some of which   
   have survived in that form.
