Is perfect possible?

Since you have a rather poor history in the few posts you have made so far I'm going to ask that you work harder on your opening post before having others waste time with you.You say that "identical turtles" are found. Please give your source for this and the specific species of turtles involved.The rest of your statments show such a total lack of understanding to evolutionary theory and fact that I ask you to do some research and thinking before you carry on.Please give your own answers to each of the questions first so that we can see you are willing to put some effort in. It will also make it clearer where you are in your understanding before others jump in.Please describe what you think a "universal species" would be like. You might be refering to the last common ancestor but I'm not sure.Please describe you understanding of what "advance" would mean and how we would recognize it. (hint: there is no "advance" in the theory)

The link doesn't work.Please update your opening post to make it clearer what you are saying. Since you now say they are not identical. You now appear to be saying the same species. Please clarify in great detail. Then what is the purpose? I explained to you why it would be useful for you to give what you think the answers are. It is apparent from your words that you know so little you should do some simple research on just what evolution is.I will, perhaps, release this thread but only after you've done enough work to justify others writing an ABC text book of evolutionary thoery to you since that is what you are asking. No it simple repeats (in more words) what you said before. How do you recognize "better"? What is "forward"? These are all just another way of saying advance.I am asking you to think about this because it is part of your extreme lack of understanding. The real answers to this have been recently given in another thread discussing limits to evolution and artificial selection.However, you are asking the question incorrectly. You don't want to know about a single species but all descendant species.This question will be answered in great detail when this thread is release.This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 01-25-2005 20:35 AM

Too bad I was just preparing to promote the topic.I will never do that when this kind of remark is made.In fact, we are far tougher on the "evos" as they are expected to be able to discuss and debate in a coherent fashion and know what it means to have done their homework.I'll leave this open for another admin to take over.PS -- the link does work in IE but not in my browser is all. Sorry about that.This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 01-26-2005 18:44 AM

Thank you for that. It isn't something done all that often.
