Why allow extinction? Is that a Biblical concept?
Howard Van Till
Is extinction a scientific concept? I thought, at least under Punk Eek,
that a species just sort of fade until they are resurrected into new forms,
such as dinosaurs --> birds.
I almost forgot this concept until Martha Stewart reminded me Monday about
the origin of scales on the talons of Bald Eagles (and chickens.)
