Resuming wonderful examples of how nature creates solutions for its problems, First an orchid which attracts insects, even though entering the flower has no value for the insect!-http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-rare-orchids-mimic-fungus-flies.html-Next, extremely fast evolution by pupfish, faster than standard Darwinism.-http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-explosive-evolution-pupfish.html-The point of all this is the research in epigenetics which shows that this is all very possible well outside Darwin's theory. Random mutation and natural selection cannot do either of thse events, in my opinion. the first is extremely complex and needs adaptation in two organisms, and in the second case, evolution moves at lightning speed, requiring epigenetic (Lamarkian) mechanisms.
