i am a christian and accept creation but i have also read a lot about evolution and i think it is perfectly logical and sane given sufficient time and the right conditions (which btw i think is a BIG given). many christians try to argue against evolution by saying that organs such as the eye are too complex to have arisen gradually but even that seems perfectly logical to me. I think the only thing that i can't get my head around is island dwarfism, where, when cut off on an island, groups of large animals evolve to be much smaller. i can see the survival advantages, but i cant see how if say a group of elephants got stuck on an island they wouldn't just eat all the food and die out, but fossils of dwarf elephants have been found on many different islands around the world?!?! does anyone have a clear darwinian explanation for this phenomenon? BTW PLEASE DON'T USE THIS FORUM AS A SOAPBOX FOR YOUR RELIGIOUS VIEWS!
