You know, "time" may just prove you correct...

At some distant time in the future, when some horse lover goes out to the
barn to saddle up and take a ride--and is suddenly shocked his/her horse has
"evolved" and now deserves a new scientific classification all its own...
we will know...

But, more likely what will have happened, is in a lab somewhere a "thinking
mind" has constructed the new animal... a quick look at the calendar, at
that time, will show it is indeed April First!!!

Warmest regards,

Marbles can be used in models with excellent results! However, if forced
to keep using all of mine up... I may end up at a disadvantage... I seem
to have misplaced some already!!!

||
|| Calling Evolution a religion is simply incorrect. I "believe" in

||
|| Check out the connections. If evolution is "wrong" or does not exist,

|| wrong. Not only is evolution wrong, but radioactive decay is wrong, etc,
|| etc, etc.
||

|| "who" has done it, how it has been done, or even why it has been
done...

||

||

mind--you
