[quote=@Penny] If you have an alternative framework you should call Nature and get it published. Overturning the fundamental theory of modern biology would make you a shoe in for that sweet sweet Nobel Prize money. [/quote] You know now I am curious as to how many people here believe in Pure Evolution = As in Nothing, or Something, somehow, someway became Us and everything else. Who believes in Intelligent Designed Evolution, as in some being, entity, whatever, helped engineer the current Universe as we know it. And who believes in Intelligent Design full on, as in no super long process of evolution from proteins to current life and instead life was just created. Just to note most people in this camp think there probably were 'base' species and breeding brought about all the varieties we have today.
