I don't feel like getting into this sort of argument yet again since all of you religious people just tend to ignore the facts... Most things (if not all) claimed by the Bible (and other scripture) have actually been disproven quite soundly today! The facts are to be found everywhere and I'm not getting into a discussion, as I said. Look it up for yourselves. Instead I will just recommend a couple of Documentaries which explain all of this much better than I ever could! The Shape of Life (7 parts) by PBS goes through the evolution of species from the most basic single-cell organisms to "complex" animals such as mammals and reptiles. It also shows a lot of the "new" "missing links" that have been found in the last couple of decades! (Like the transition from dino to bird). Dogs that Changed the World (2 parts) also by PBS explains through the new mapping of mtDNA, Beljajev's Foxes and genetics where, when and gives a very plausible theory on how dogs were domesticated and have evolved from there! They can be bought from PBS or downloaded (illegally) from torrentsites or P2P. Edit/addition: I can really recommend the BBC documentary "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" which shows in a clear and quite graphic way how breed after breed is completely destroyed by genetic and purely physical problems while the "top-breeders" keep on using seriously ill dogs for breeding and further cripple the breeds by making them even more deformed! But a head that is so small that it cant hold the brain anymore, causing extreme excrutiating pain is obviously "pretty"... Makes me sick!
