lol Darwin's kool aid.

Please don't stop preechr
I'm rather interested in hearing about what your precise problem is with evolution from a common ancestor. And don't tell me that it jsut plain requires faith, or that it's all really just weird, or that there's no evidence behind it, for I won't accept such nonsense from you ;(

What philosophical problem do you have with evolution from a common ancestor that is distinct from philosophical problems one can have against evolution as such. I just don't get why you can't make that leap of faith from evolution within to evolution between species. Species are just populations that can reproduce and make fertile offspring. So basically, if evolution happens on one population that causes the males in that population to grow bigger dicks, then that can quite literally cause speciation between other populations with females that haven't also evolved along those lines. Mechanical barrier to reproduction, it's a thing. So do you think that evolution can happen, and organisms and populations can mutate and show different phenotypic characteristics, just as long as those characteristics aren't such that would change reproduction? What exactly is it about an organism that is immune to mutation through evolution, and why? That question should be rather difficult for you I think, if you accept the notion that some things about organisms can mutate, but set other things out of bounds. I mean, what to you, makes a species a species, start there. (or a genus or whatever, I know that kind of thoroughly insignificant concept can be pretty confusing)

So ya, basically I really don't see the difference between the two types of evolution. Please try to type slowly and clearly, because bio-magicians put me under the spell of darwinian sorcery when I was young, so my ability to perceive reality clearly is rather clouded by the magic circle against reason they've entrapped me in.
