But there was one discovery lately that points to Human evolution. They discovered that it is a mutated Gene that makes skin white. That in itself points right to evolution and not to Intelligent Design, with their ridiculous time line and Bible Thumping. JMHO

There's been quite a bit of genetic engineering going on for thousands of years; farm animals are not found in nature. But demonstrating that new strains can be bred selectively does not, of course, demonstrate that this process takes place in the wild...

But as you say, Evolution is not a fact, then Creationism must have been doing it with out any mutation at all. But one is science and the other is faith, and I know which one I'd put my money on.

Isn't the liger a new species?

I don't know. Does it produce viable offspring?

But even so, would that really make them a new species? Or just a manipulated oddity? JMHO, but I would think you'd need a viable breeding population to really be a species.

Well, that's what I meant.

The usual rule is something like that, which is why mules aren't a species...

Still a few left:
