[QUOTE="pitabread, post: 74511900, member: 394892"] Not in the slightest. It's the same process, just over a much longer period of time (from first life to now). The only people who find it controversial are those who feel it contradicts their religious views. Part of the issue is also that humans have difficulty conceptualizing vast time periods. So some people have difficulty imagining the level of evolutionary change that could happen over billions of years versus the level that happens over a much shorter period of time. Consequently it's a lot easier for those people to understand the evolution required to domesticate modern dogs, as opposed to visualize the magnitude of changes that would have taken place since life first appeared on Earth. This is why I think creationists often talk as though the two scenarios are different processes, when it fact they are effectively the same, just different orders of magnitude. [/QUOTE]
