I visited Sequoia National Park earlier this year. I was struck by acouple facts presented at the visitor’s center. Sequoias live about as long as they have existed: about 2500 years. Also, the wood does not decay due to the high tannin levels; bugs and fungus can’t digest it. So unless it burns up, a fallen sequoia remains where it fell indefinitely. We essentially can view the entire history of this species. So the question is, what did they evolve from? There are only distinct other species of trees (Sugar Pines, Douglas Fir, etc) but no transitional forms. Did random mutation cause sequoia to sprout from another species?

jpg564,
That is one of the simplest strong arguments against evolution that I’ve ever seen.

Oh, it's simple alright, just not in the way you mean, Collin.
