[QUOTE="Shemjaza, post: 74723282, member: 146291"] Using two different definitions of a single word in a sentence is a bad idea. Mating and interaction of animals is relevant to the evolution of their species. Studying this could improve someones understanding of evolution in general. You are proposing muddled and false ideas about what evolution is and I am trying to point that out. The literal reading of the narrative seems to indicate that Jacob had the ability to miraculously genetically engineer animals using a staff. If it were possible it would be relevant to evolution because the spotted/striped traits seemed to breed true. I think a more reasonable reading is that Jacob encouraged the spotted and striped traits... which is completely reasonable example of evolution as a random trait became an advantage withing the very specific environment of being looked after by Jacob. There isn't an evolutionary perspective on creation or the belief in creation. It's not a genetic trait, so it isn't an evolutionary advantage. I have morals, people have morals... evolution doesn't have morals and isn't relevant to morals. Seems like a vague and exploitable way of looking at morals. It seems to imply that you are also "Partially wrong most of the time". Evolution doesn't define good at all. It's not a moral philosophy, as I've said before it's exclusively a description of how life changes genetically. What species and how are you comparing them? [/QUOTE]
