Rembrant Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Most Biologists and animal activists (biologists because this is what they were taught in school, and animal activists because they watch too much Disney and think animals are more important than people) believe the theory of evolution is not a theory, but a law. Kind of odd that these people want to save everything from the brink of extinction when one of the major concepts of Darwin's theory is 'natural selection'. Natural selection is the idea that if an animal cannot adapt to a changing environment or increased competition, it will cease to exist and give way to the stronger, more adaptable (evolving) species. According to this belief system, it is natural evolution; natural selection; and natural biology for lots of species to go away because they just can't hang with the pressure. So why do people who embrace Darwin's theory choose to work against it? Do these folks feel bad because alot of this pressure is human caused? Isn't that putting ourselves above the theory and separating us from the animals? How does that work, if from the animals is where we came? Don't quite add up, does it? Here's something that does make sense: we are separate from the animals. They are here for us to utilize, and yes, to steward... You put us in charge of everything you made, giving us authority over all things; the sheep and the cattle and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth! Psalm 8: 6-9 NLT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Well if global warming is going to cause mass starvation, why are we catering to the competition. Rembrant aside from the evolution group, there are also the groups that ask why are we killing Gods creatures, but then they haven't read the bible they just use Gods name if it helps their cause.

NRS Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Here is what happens to big predators when we are allowed to hunt them. Tue Apr 29, 4:02 PM ET ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A study by state biologists has found parts of Anchorage are much more popular among grizzly bears than they previously thought. At least three dozen grizzlies have been seen over the past three summers along Campbell Creek, which courses through industrial and residential areas and is home to a science center that is popular among families on warm summer days. While biologists with the Department of Fish and Game knew the area was popular with bears, they were surprised to find out just how many were hanging out along the stream. It appears the bears are coming from several valleys in the Chugach Mountains above Anchorage. Several dens were seen from downtown during the study, said Sean Farley, a bear research biologist. The bears are roaming large ranges that in some cases stretch all the way to the Little Susitna River west of Wasilla. From there a bear would have to swim through Cook Inlet waters to reach Anchorage, but that's no obstacle to the animals, Farley said. Of 11 bears fitted with radio collars during the study, a boar had the largest range. It wandered an area about eight times larger than that of the average sow with cubs. The latter tended to focus their time in and around salmon streams in sight of Anchorage, which as about 300,000 residents. While grizzly bears are endangered or threatened in the Lower 48 states, in Anchorage they could be considered the neighbor next door. Biologists are leery of even taking a guess at exactly how many of them inhabit the Municipality of Anchorage, an area about the size of Delaware. There have been a number of bear-human confrontations in the area in recent years. Some people been injured, and two runners were killed in a 1995 attack, but such run-ins are more likely to end with the bear getting shot. The animals seem to understand that, Farley said. Hikers and mountain bikers aren't seeing grizzlies as often as his data suggests they should be. "They're very secretive," Farley said. "They're very good at hiding from us. They're very good at avoiding people." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
