No, because my phrasing isn't loaded with an insult. Yours is.

Don't bs me now... you can say 'I hope you understand,' or something on that order.
To turn your previous statement on you, ‘If you feel that my statements are a challenge to evolution (the only possible way you could take 'bought into' as an insult), then the problem lies not with my words, but with your belief in evolution.’No, because my phrasing isn't loaded with an insult. Yours is.

First, let me make a statement, before I present my question. I understand very well that once the seed of ‘with enough time there is no limit to the amount of change possible’ is accepted… then it’s macroevolution hook, line and sinker.
Well, that brings us back to the OP anyway... 'why would any animal, lower or higher, venture to leave its comfort zone and abandon natural instinct (evidenced by the fact that many more didn't), eventually becoming human?'No, it is wholly with your words and your words alone. I am perfectly willing to accept I might be wrong and am willing to entertain any evidence that shows me I could be wrong about evolution. The inverse however with your belief in God or the Bible is not so forthwith.

I wonder if he first thought in terms of microevolution only?I also have a statement. The theory of evolution was developed and accepted before we had any solid idea how old the earth was. Common estimates of the time were short enough that they gave Darwin concern. Historically, the theory was accepted for other reasons than 'enough time'.

Not really... I just believe God made the distinction as the Bible says, and can't see the blend. I love my dogs and cats.Are you offended by the idea that humans aren't really all that special in the biological world?
If not knowing how old the earth was meant anything, how could he have thought in any other terms than microevolution?Not really, since micro- and macro- evolution are terms used by creationists.

Not extra special in the way you mean... just different, as all things are.Well, you seem to be since you insist on trying to make humans out to be extra special.

Not really connecting with you here???Yet your comments suggest otherwise. Especially the phrase 'abandon natural instinct' which is just such a weird phrase to see.

Are you saying that our supposed branch of ape ancestors would not have abandoned their natural instincts at the time they departed from all the other apes? My question of 'why?'Yet your comments suggest otherwise. Especially the phrase 'abandon natural instinct' which is just such a weird phrase to see.

Yet, you believe an ape took the path to human???All instinct is natural, as I've said before. Instinct cannot be abandoned. It's impossible to abandon instinct.
