ASSVT... I agree whole heartedly... selective breeding can only get you so far.. (sorry about the spelling on mendel.. you knew him though.. great.. sorry again... there is no process known to us, that takes an animal from an existing state, and transforms that animal. A dog will never grossly change its form, or figure, in an infinite amount of time. The genetics of it is simply impossible. You can mutate "till the cows come home", and you will have a dead dog, but not a better, or more complex dog.
I tried to post this the other day, but I used square brackets and it didnt post.. ohwell.. here goes again

Lets play the evolution game... we put a bunch of letters into a hat and randomly pull them out millions of times, until we have a genetic code that somehow gives this animal a survival advantage... so we pull out "Grossly oversimplified" the letters

I NEED A LONGER TAIL

representing the genetic code for a longer tail.. if that were possible..
now.. we have a perfect evolutionary example right. I mean, proof for evolution given enough time. The problem is, I NEED A LONGER TAIL doesn't mean anything to a german person, or a russian, chinese, japanese, korean, israeli, mexican, or any other person that does not have the PRE EXISTING LANGUAGE (in this case english) to interpret the genetic change. This analogy is excellently suitted for the evolutionary arguement. At first glance, its a proof. Upon study, we find that it falls short. Without the language for interpretation existing before we get the message, it is totally useless.
