Well, being Darwinism is not a "law" ( merely speculations by the "visually impaired" leading the "visually impaired") ... it is probably a most excellent way to phrase the question... ............ to discourage phrasing it as such, discourages freedom of investigation.

How about this question... How probable would it be to artificially INDUCE a small population of blind cave fish to start growing eyes again without breeding it back to the parent Mexican Tetra line? Could it be done in less than 100 generations? LeonardMatusik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lamarck in bondage! GayPenguins held in captivity!
