Indeed, the link is wrong, but the ads speak for themselves, no thank you.

It is a well presented site, I'll give it that and I would honestly love to read some of the material...but pay for it? No way!!
The books listed on the link http://www.harunyahya.com/c_myth_called_matter.php
sound interesting from a philosophical standpoint.

Its true, the gap is getting wider. That's because the more we understand genetics, the better we can locate and document slight differences in DNA.
I doubt the gap will ever go down below 95% though.
As an aside, i don't know if the adverts are always the same on that site, but the one i saw suggested that fossils disprove evolution, since we have fossils of centipedes etc from millions of years ago, and still have centipedes today. Thus animals don't change.
What they don't say though is that some of those fossilised centipedes are as long as a bus and could have crushed a man to death in life. Don't see too many of them around today though do ya?

Hi, I would ask of anyone that believes in as Darwin it's so called inventor, but do any of you think that African' are less then human? Also what of the Irish cause Darwin did not think much of them either.

Evolution isn't a religion Alexander, we don't follow the personal beliefs of the creator of a theory.alexander garcia said:
Science is about observation, testing hypotheses and the finding of significant patterns from which a working theory can be established - a theory which can be changed or abandoned if new and contrary data is presented.
Its not about blind faith or personal prejudices.

Indeed, and dragonflies as big as eagles.Victor said:They have a fossilised centipede as long as a bus?
This is because these insects lived when the Earth had a much higher level of atmospheric oxygen. At our current level of oxygen, insects cannot grow as large because of the way they breathe.
(Although i'm not saying that if you stick a fly in pure oxygen it would grow to the size of your fist. When the oxygen levels started to drop in the past, the larger insects couldn't survive - only the smaller ones, natural selection.)

That's frickin amazing! Where did you learn this information? I want to check it out.Halcyon said:

Sey, I think he meant length not girth, does that make a difference? :s Im not on this stuff.

Scroll down to giant insects.
Ok, it wasn't bus sized - 8 feet, about car sized - guess it got exagerrated in my memory. Still a big bug though.
Indeed, there were some very large insects at one time, and a higher oxygen concentration would have supported a slightly higher metabolic rate and better tissue perfusion in a spiracle-breather.
Still, the basic principles of engineering preclude really huge, 1950s sci-fi movie type insects. Even in the weightless environment of the sea arthropods do not grow really large.
The strength of a supporting structure does not increase in proportion to its size. A two cm diameter rod is not twice as strong as a one cm rod. A two meter long ant, with the same proportions as a two mm ant, would collapse into a crumpled heap.

Well, a 9 foot sea scorpian is pretty big. And we still have the horseshoe crab which is dinner plate sized.Seyorni said:
I'm not sure what you say holds true. Think of a tree, the structure of a twig is almost exactly the same as that of the trunk, yet the trunk is stronger than a twig.Seyorni said:
Plus, look at your average spider today - its got about 5mm-1cm body length. Yet in the Carboniferous we had spiders the size of cats.
