Re: New hybrid shark found
Indeed microevolution in this case...but the point of macroevolution is that with enough of these adaptations and changes a population can become completely different than its ancestors...Honestly, it would be nearly impossible to expect macroevolution to occur in one step, and evolution does not say that at all...if nothing else this is a good demonstration of how these types of changes can happen in nature in a very brief period of time. So tell me, how does this really demonstrate your point?

Re: New hybrid shark found
I am confused with the article, isn't this just interbreeding between two types of sharks?
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Re: New hybrid shark found
It's not really the type of evolution typically debated over...It's not natural selection technically. But it is extremely uncommon to find two completely separate species that can mate and produce a fully fertile offspring. Most of the time, even if two species interbreed, the offspring is either infertile or has a number of genetic defects or problems that limit its survival capabilities.
So I think the point the biologist here is making is that it's a really big deal that, while one species is likely going to die off soon, it's hybrid offspring have the ability to survive based on the new genetic material introduced to that population. It's just really rare for this kind of thing to occur in such a brief period of time.

Doesn't sound like such a big deal.

Re: New hybrid shark found
More or less it's highly uncommon for it to work as well as this instance I guess. Personally I agree with you, this article seems to kind of blow it out of proportion, as it probably only really matters to people who study sharks haha. But that's what Yahoo editors and writers get paid to do I suppose...Just make it sound good.

Re: New hybrid shark found
Nothing more than an obvious case of adaptation.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Re: New hybrid shark found
Also the atheists can get all excited and wet their pants, frothing over at the mouth while they furiously type to post the link on their blogs decrying theism, all because they found a shark-hybrid. (Read comments sections on pieces like this and you'll see it immediately.) Really, is it much different than a Labrador retriever and a poodle getting together and having puppies? Still a dog.

Re: New hybrid shark found
I get the sense this is more like a horse breeding with a donkey and producing a mule that isn't sterile. Jokes aside it is different than breed differences within the same species.
