I will admit right off, I could be deeply misinformed or somewhat delusional, so let me know. I noticed your other post questioning why the K-T extinction didn t kill off the mammals, and all other life, as well. The easy answer was it wasn t big enough. Mammals had several survival advantages over dinosaurs for surviving a cataclysmic asteroid collision. One was that they were smaller, had larger populations and shorter maturation periods.
Larger populations mean their species have more potential survivors.
Shorter maturation periods mean they produce more offspring and thus may evolve adaptive traits faster. For reasons I see no evidence against religious matters, nor do I find any reason not to believe it. As far as Darwin's personal theory of Evolution itself, I do agree with most of Darwin's premise, but also disagree with some things some Darwinist's have claimed. These disagreements are NOT based on religious topics at all, but rather the holes and contradictions I've become aware of. Personally I've come to my own, non-external theory of evolution and the mysterious origin of man.
