We cannot stand this cognitive dissonance so we make up stories to fill in the gaps. Depending on whether you are a materialist or not, your story would differ enormously.Dolly Sheriffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375088475991469281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710675936371055764.post-46981151780354314302010-08-08T10:20:26.191-07:002010-08-08T10:20:26.191-07:00The identification of an extremely well preserved ...The identification of an extremely well preserved 30-million-year old fossilised beak<br /><br /> raises interesting questions over why evolution has left the birds?<br />or a particular bird<br /> so little changed over such a long period....that is simply<br />Changes in beak's are in abundance<br />in several species that differenciated in the last 10 million yearsSong The Sanguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491599336149143204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710675936371055764.post-73046563361069429732010-07-31T11:37:57.854-07:002010-07-31T11:37:57.854-07:00Hi Dolly,
