    Prologos / Cofty have you ever seen Hobbies chasing swallows? One of the most thrilling hunts in nature.

    I don't understand. Did you mean to say if traffic deaths decrease and death from predation remains the same or lessens, that speedy-genes have been passed on instead of curl-up genes?

    What I am saying is curling up is a great way to avoid being predated but pretty useless against being run over. Running hedgehogs are more vulnerable to predation (hedgehogs are not that quick!). So, if predation is responsible for less mortality that traffic, the population will be dominated by individuals with genes selecting for running away.

    That's really interesting Cantleave thanks. It's actually surprising how fast hedgehogs can move when I've seen them in my garden. Hope they survive.

    I have done my bit to eliminate stupid Pheasants from the gene pool

    Cofty - naughty, but then a pheasant is a pleasant present for a peasant.

    I haven't. I will look out for it now though, we have swallows and house martins everywhere at the moment.

    It must be satan killing those poor swallows -

    *** w50 11/1 p. 424 Evolution Contrary to Scientific Fact ***
    Men of good will do not want to be found fools. They will reason on these matters, see how God’s Word fits the facts. They will not be stumbled by evolution while en route to Jehovah’s promised new world, but will discern that it is just an old-fashioned, unprovable pagan myth. They appreciate that Satan has revived it in these last days to blind men to the good news of the new world, that with this evolution bait he has hooked the wise and haughty, the puffed up and proud. It has become the chief stone of stumbling to trip up this wise, modern, brilliant generation of science worshipers.

    Great quote.

    Its amazing how many ex-JWs are still deluded by that sort of thinking.

    The dispute, life is a DESIGN not a product of willy-nilly chance, is about to be settled. Of course theophobic folks will fight it.

    That's fine, worthwhile change always has its reactionary detractors.

    But they will adjust and learn to enjoy reality. There is a dark side, though, it will always push back against the disinfectant of light (proven facts) which turns the world toward good.

    Prime examples of this in modern times are the WT GB leadership and the religious Atheon (God hater) crowd. Theoretical diametrically opposed to each other, yet both work toward for the same "evil" end.

    Fascinating!
