[QUOTE="TagliatelliMonster, post: 70315039, member: 391173"] Except that it is. This is basic anatomy. The S-spine of humans is an adapted C-shaped spine like we find in other mammals that walk on all 4s. It gets better though... Have you ever seen dolphins or whales swim? They move op and down, instead of sidewise like fish. In contrast, crockodiles and lizards walk moving sideways. This is all explained through the anatomy of their ancestors, the spine being an important part of that. Whales and dolphins 'swim' using the same motion as their mammalian land ancestors. Exactly as we would expect, if evolution is true. Nested hierarchies, once again. It's not. It's a testable prediction of evolution and demonstrable through comparative anatomy. No. Just a simple prediction wich naturally flows from the model proposed. If evolution is wrong, there would be no reason to expect the spine of bipedal humans to be an adapted version of quadrupal ancestors. If evolution is wrong, there would be no reason for whales and dolphins to swim using the same motion and muscles as land animals that walk on all 4s. If evolution is accurate however, then such things are [I]exactly[/I] how they should be. It is not without question. At all. It's just confirmation nr I-lost-count of the nested hierarchy that MUST exist, if evolution is true. Why does this hierarchy show up EVERYWHERE we look? We can literally take ANY aspect of ANY 2 random creatures and see if they fit the hierachy as predicted by evolution. To poke a hole in the theory, you would need JUST ONE example of something that doesn't fit this hierarchy. JUST ONE. For evolution to stand tall, ALL such predictions must check out. And they do. You see, when people like Francis Collins (a devout christian, btw) say that "the evidence for evolution is [B]overwhelming[/B]", they really aren't exaggerating. It really is overwhelming. Millions of predictions concerning the nested hierarchies. One failed prediction puts the theory in serious problems. After all those years, nobody ever succeeded in coming up with such an example. That's pretty overwhelming. Your [I]opinion[/I] is noted. Testable and verifiable? Yes. Yes, indeed. I have no emotional attachments to any scientific theory about anything. You're projecting. The only one in this discussion with emotional attachments to specific beliefs, is you. [/QUOTE]
