I'm Outside the Autistic Asylum!RSS Feed link The crazy stuff I can't post anyplace else Introduction to Wonko the Sane and Outside the Asylum, which this blog is named after.
Amazing. Makes it hard to believe that random mutations and natural selection could cause this.
I believe that natural selection could cause this. It's the random part of the mutation I have a problem with.
I too have a problem with mutations that lead to something like this just being random.
I could easily see, however, theistic evolution causing this. Start with a beetle with one protrusion, being able to jump straight. Successive generations given more and more teeth in the gear, until you find the ideal number of gears.Sounds a lot like my own test driven development.
