Photoshop-ed chickens now prove evolution. Wow. At least Darwin actually produced a valid bit of work other than crappy internet photos and good on him, but this...this takes away from his work so badly that he might crawl out of the grave and say..."If this is what my work would be attributed to, I would have just said "god did it""


The fact that the actual article shows a drawing and then a normal chicken leg attached to a thigh is just silly and another showing of the stupidity our media does that allows people like trump to cash in. The entire article makes claims of "like something" and other generalizations of historical beings.

Love that a theory has finally be proven that science has waited a long long time for. I hope that means the other theories of this scientist are now proven so we can stop being tolerant of men, women, Jews, Christians, and pretty much everything other than their 25 cats.

Would you eat genetically modified chicken if it was 'tweaked' to have larger leg and breast meat?

i have to answer yes because most of our chicken is in fact a hybrid from cali scientists that are engineered to grow as fast as possible. if you eat chicken you already have . 5.5 weeks from chick to fryer . compared to what for free range

That's interesting Mary Jane...

I have no problem with selective breeding to gain desired growth and size development.

What I do have issue with is modifying genes by scientific methods by introducing other plant or animal

genetics to get to what the producers and consumers are after.

Selective breeding takes time...scientific methods are touted as having immediate next generation benefits.

The selective breeding process is time proven...the scientific modifications over time are, for the most part, unproven.
