DAVID: I thought in theory evolution was to seek the best way to survive. then as I've noted why bother with this degree of complexity?

dhw: I thought that in Turellian theory, your God’s prime purpose was to produce the brain of Homo sapiens. So why bother with this degree of complexity?

Exactly , whales and elephants are overly complex, but fill the need for diversity and a balance of nature.

QUOTE: "It should be recognized that the term 'ancestral proboscidians' refers to unknown and undocumented creatures which are assumed to have existed and evolved into various proboscidians which left fossil traces."

DAVID: the evolutionary history contains suppositions, a usual Darwin technique.

dhw: All attempted explanations of speciation contain suppositions. You suppose the existence of a God and of a divine 3.8-billion-year computer programme for all undabbled innovations, lifestyles and natural wonders. The pot calls the kettle black – a usual Turell technique.

You know full well that Darwin is all untrue supposition and attack my theories instead of accepting the truth about Darwin .
