Why? Bacteria and such can be quite resilient and evolve. I mean we also have some eels migrate to near the mid ocean even to this day. Some speculate that this is because they used to breed there before the rapid divide of continents..not that long ago.
If nature changed at about the same time as the rapid continental move, then creatures could have adapted quickly. Therefore it would NOT have been fatal then.
I'm trying to get at the roots of your deep misunderstanding of evolution.
That's not what "want" means. "Want" in contemporary English means "has a desire for". Living things do not have a desire for their offspring to have certain mutations. (There's an archaic meaning for "want" as well, which is "need", but that doesn't apply either. Organisms also don't need the mutations that open up new niches for them, since they're generally already successful the way they are.
Because there is some resource there that isn't elsewhere or isn't as common elsewhere. Maybe there's more food there because other fish can't stand being there. Could be nesting grounds, could be something else too.
What, no actual response? You're copping out of the debate because you lost, and now you're attacking me personally to make it seem like you've won.
juvenissun, I told you how various organisms evolve into ones that fit a particular niche, like a hydrothermal vent. It's not clear what problem you think there is with this explanation, since your only challenge to it involves a misuse of English.
