Reversing Undesirable Fish Evolution

Posted by samzenpus on from the make-them-bun-shaped dept.

TaeKwonDood writes "Your granddad's approach to fishing — throw the little 'uns back — may have hurt their evolution, but we can reverse that, says a group of researchers, with a change of policy. Fish have been 'reprogramming' themselves to be smaller and live longer. Welcome to evolutionary dynamics, Lamarck. But, no, they are serious. And it can be fixed within 12 generations. What do the smart people out there think about this? Are they using the term 'evolution' the wrong way?"

  1. Evolution? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have studied Evolution quite extensively, and have concluded that there is much more evidence against the theory than for it. For whatever reason, only pro-evolutionary evidences ever see the light of day.

    Articles like this one seem to take Evolution for granted, and their very title assumes that the Evolutionary process, as well understood, is established fact.

    For anyone who hasn't heard the evidence for the other side, check out http://www.bcmin.us/main/?q=node/31 - Parts 2, 3, and especially 4, are knock-your-socks off informative of how we all have seemingly been misled.

    While no one can prove either side, there are so many examples of things that are not possible with Evolution, I would highly suggest that we look for other explanations for things.

    Please don't accuse me of being a Troll. I am dead serious about this stuff. The evidence is massive.

    Evolution is a fantasy. Stop wasting your time on this BS.
