> > DAVID: [i]You agree to what. You say, 'I agree' and run right back to your illogical dissection of evolution, as unrelated dead ends. Where did our enormous ecosystem providing our food supply come from?[/i]

According to you, those were all life forms that sprang from nowhere during the Cambrian, although many of those life forms (e.g. the dinosaurs) were also dead ends. My totally conventional proposal is that all life forms and their ecosystems, including ours and all the dead ends, evolved from Darwin’s original few forms or one.

> Living forms run on biologic systems. The Ediacaran biologic systems are the basis for the phenotypic Cambrian changes in form, but not living biology which is continuous. The Cambrian is based upon the Ediacaran. That is evolution!!!! Your illogical argument comes from your lack of recognizing these two aspects of changing life forms in evolution.

> > 
> > dhw: I agree with your last sentence. But it is you who slice evolution up into discontinuous parts when you say that we and our ecosystems are descended from 37 phyla which your God created without predecessors! [b][i]“With God as designer no predecessors needed!!![/i][/b]” – So you say we are not descended from Archaea, and none of the preceding life forms were needed for the creation of the species which you claim were your God’s one and only purpose! They were dead ends!
