That is not science.-A marvelous list that calls Darwin's now-modified evolution theory into severe question, which is why I have chosen a third way, theistic evolution. God guides all, which is why a built-in IM (if present) is under tight control.-Note the final point. It is the balance of nature, which is a requirement for life to succeed
