| Quote (JLT @ Jan. 29 2010,10:27) | | Quote | | Natural selection, which has often been portrayed as all-powerful and capable of building exquisitely complex structures, has failed to provide the giant panda with any enzymes for digesting plant food. |
Therefore, pandas can't exist. Oh wait - | Quote | | Although the panda cannot make enzymes for digesting plant food, communities of gut microbes are the most likely explanation of its continuing survival. |
So, pandas don't need special enzymes to survive on plant food but that they don't have any still | Quote | | testifies to the failure of Darwinian mechanisms to overcome problems caused by mutations. |
It is not, however, an instance of bad design, because pandas were of course designed to eat meat and were only forced to eat plants because of mutations. | Quote | | From the perspective of design, we have a story of how a superbly designed carnivore has managed to survive the effects of genetic degradation. |
In other ID news: Whales don't have gills, another failure of Darwinian evolution. Genetic degradation led to the loss of their legs, so these superbly designed land living animals are forced to swim. |
OK, when did bamboo cease to be a plant?
