There is a significant difference between a border collie and a beagle.
Sure but both animals are indisputably inferior to the animal from which domestic dogs were originally breed. They are not evolved animals in any way, if anything they have devolved in several ways from the original species.
Alright now since I can't reach through the internet and swat you upside the head myself I'll have to ask you to either do it yourself or have someone close by do it. Assuming you didn't do that I'll carry on anyway. I hear statements like this all the time and it pisses me off to no end because it usually comes from people who don't know what they're talking about.
Evolution has nothing to do with superiority, evolution is not some means towards an end goal. By your logic, flies are inferior to humans, therefore flies are not evolved organisms. Every organism is an evolved organism superiority doesn't enter into it.
Yea? Evolution only takes in consideration the ability to reproduce, not to be the fastest, largest, strongest mother****er around.
Get over it, Beagles were selectively bred to be beagles, they did not really evolved there. The laws of evolution do not apply to selective breeding (same as how they no longer apply to humans)
mmm no. That's pretty much exactly what evolution does through both instances of selection and predation.
Any rain forest pretty much invalidates your statement. Specifically adapted animals for specifically adpated environements, all without "artifical" intervention.
No, evolution only applies to life without artificial intervention, i.e. without a human behind it selecting who shall reproduce and who shall be neutered.
Rainforests are not humans... And oh, just btw, most scholars do not consider outside selection as evolution. Common error, but they are not the same.
No it doesn't. Whales for example have EVOLVED PERMANENT TRAITS as a result of artificial stimulus, so have crows, these traits are as permanent as the rest of their traits, and are actively expressed even in individuals who do NOT encounter the stimulus anymore. So have bats. Whom in cities have begun using lights to navigate and echolocating less. 30 years later, the progeny of those bats removed from cities still have the altered trait expression in their GENETICS, not just their behavior.
