I myself do not subscribe to an old age earth theory and I do believe that there are animals with 6 legs.
So, I am trying to factor in what limitations a species has for adaptation. I understand that people sometimes ask what mechanism is involved in this limitation. Like there is something in the DNA program that stops it! To date, science has never discovered a mech that stops as it appears to me more of a boundary, sort of like asking what stops a sunfire from reaching speeds of 200 miles an hour. There is nothing inside the car itself that stops the sunfire from going that fast, it’s that the sunfire simply is not designed to go that fast.
So in this way, I look at species and wonder what is their limit? I know you will say there is none, but everything has limits. Can evolution make a man walk on the sun? Would constant adaptation over time cause the skin to be so tuff, that it could withstand magma?
No, so evolution does have limits in what it is able to do.
It is silly to look at evolution as some mighty super hero that comes and saves a species from an event or hunter of somekind. There are some things in evolution that me and Vender disagree with in terms of evolution. I would not at all dispute the idea that we share a common ansestor with chimps.
