    Think can happen over 300 million years. It's just a matter of time scale.

    300 million years of macroevolution being impossible equals 300 million years of no macroevolution

    I agree with your previously stated assessment.

    If you are the anomaly - a genetic mistake - and do not have the means to replicate yourself genetically down to the last chromosome and create an entire race of identical life forms, when you die, the anomaly dies with you. Even if the anomaly is duplicated here and there, it is by mistake, not design.

    The scientific theory of evolution cannot be proven because the bridge required to do so doesn't exist. They always hit that wall of zero evidence. That's why it's called a "theory". In each scientific theory presented, the elephant in the room of not being able to connect the dots from A to Z is the only constant.

    We wouldn't have modern medicine without applying the principles of evolution.
