Taxed2death: Yes I am aware of Mendel's work with flowers and punnet squares as I selectively breed reptiles for different traits. But the fact is that any animal that progressively shows a change of traits which over time(many generations) leads to an adaption that will preserve the life of the animal,that animal has evolved. It is a little bit of a stretch. And I don't think that there was very many breeders of animals that were doing genetics experiments along the line of Mendel. Most selective breeding has happened in the last few hundred years. So I really don't think that all the different types of animals could come about from a single pair. How long through selective breeding do you think you think it would take to get a 2 lb. dog from a dog that started out at 90-100 lb.? Even with extremely aggressive selective breeding program it would take 50-100 generations to get that dog to make a change that drastic. And mind you that is just one type of dog. My main point in this argument is that there is not enough time in 4400 years to get that many different types of animals from one pair. Or seven for that matter. I used a dog as a example but this works with any animal.
Selective breeding can only get you so far.
