Glad to help. The evolution of the panda thumb is an interesting counterexample to intelligent design.AntennaGuy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 3:29 amI hadn't been aware of the curiosity of how panda "thumbs" developed.notFritzArgelander wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:49 pmI offer in supporting evidence,Avi Loeb, the Panda thumb, etc.

Yes. But then, there is (arguably) no shortage of evidence of not-particularly-competent design! Maybe the advanced alien beings who designed our universe are these folks. It would explain a lot.notFritzArgelander wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 4:00 am ...Glad to help. The evolution of the panda thumb is an interesting counterexample to intelligent design.

It has been asserted that in light of the subtle and sophisticated mathematics that describes the known (so far) laws of the universe, God is clearly a mathematician of the highest rank. And... that's the problem! Have you ever seen what happens when a brilliant theorist tries to do engineering? Heh.
