You said "animals." Below I said "a single animal." My answer stands now and below. > Okay, before humans, what did respond to DQ? If that thing no longer > responds to DQ, give me an example of what it did "before" (when it did > respond to DQ) that it can no longer do. An animal here and there responded. Maybe you can pinpoint when the animal that immediately preceded the cat responded to DQ. I can't. Neither can Darwinists. The skeleton record fails to show all the little intermediate steps that eventually became a cat. The theory suffers on account of the missing evidence that ought to be there. > [Arlo had asked] > 6.

We'll never know.

Unresponsive reply. Nor have you answered my question whether you believe movements and unpredictable changes are always the result of DQ. > [Platt] > I believe based on Pirsig's explanation of evolution in Chapter 11 that I > asked you to read that a single atom or animal at one time responded to the > moral force of DQ to advance evolution. > > [Arlo] > You just said above animals could never respond to DQ.

I kept repeating but you don't get it: "A tribe can change its values only person by person and someone has to be first." (Lila, 9) Some ONE.
