>>Since you won't believe any evolutionary example I give, here's a non-evolutionary one. It took mankind thousands of years to develop writing. <<
You have no evidence to support that claim. Also, you can't compare what man's mind might do with what biology will do. Man's minds wander all over the place looking for truth, Biology follows a direct path to do exactly what it was designed for.
>>Clearly mankind did not NEED writing, since we didn't die out before it for the lack of it. Are you better off with it or without it?<<
Irrelevant.
>>And no, it doesn't make it harder to explain. Consider the shark. Sharks have no bones.<<
Why do sharks have no bones? Many life forms have no bones. Why is that?
>>But you do agree that it's possible that an organism that doesn't have a particular characteristic will be better off it it acquires that characteristic.<<
No I don't but you are continuing to avoid answering the question---how is genetically possible for a life form with no gene for bones to produce an offspring with bones.
