Quote (VMartin @ July 13 2007,23:57) | Quote | As for house cats, I mean Tigers, well, you stumped me there.

If you know about domesticated cats as great as Bernardines let me know. Let me also know about domesticated cats/tigers used in Army or by guards.
Quote | Actually some lizards, like monitors, are pretty bright, and can learn to run mazes as well as a rat can.

Do you think that running mazes is preliminary test before domestication or what? People domesticate animals many thousands years. One of the result is observation that some animals couldn't be domesticated. Another is that you cannot create from one species another one by any artificial selection . It's only in darwinian imagination that selection can lead to speciation.

You are angry because your hero Dawkins is obviously wrong. You should send him to retirement. It's him who "displays an incredible amount of sheer utter pig-ignorance about the natural world around him." No wonder that sitting drowsily in his University armchair he conceived not only selfish gene nonsense but farted also this sentence in NYT:
Quote | Or a heavyset, thick-coated wolf, strong enough to carry a cask of brandy, that thrives in Alpine passes and might be named after one of them, the St. Bernard? Behe has to predict that you'd wait till hell freezes over, but the necessary mutations would not be forthcoming.

The facts are these:
Quote | As for the barrel on the collar, it first appeared in a painting by artist Edwin Landseer called “Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveler” in 1820; Landseer was only 17 at the time. The cask was thought to contain brandy and quickly caught on in the public imagination, though the monks and their dogs never actually used such a thing. (Alcohol, after all, could hasten dehydration—not a good treatment for a snowbound traveler.)

V, go away. You're a dimwit and no one here is interested in your bitching about Darwin, atheists and Dawkins.
Go back to Davison. He's getting lonely over there.
