"An international team of scientists has discovered the greatest absence of evolution ever reported -- a type of deep-sea microorganism that appears not to have evolved over more than 2 billion years."

*headdesk*  That's not an absence of evolution, that's an absence of a need to change to fit the environmental niche it's already in.  Someone dopeslap that reporter.

It's almost like he went out of is way to create a satire of stupidity.  Yet everything must evolve.  Given enough time, everything will evolve into humans.  That is the purpose of evolution; To involve into humans.  And then it can't evolve any further because it has reached the highest level of evolution.

Edit to add:  This is fun.

I thought it was the other way round?
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Saw the article yesterday. Thanks for posting. Other examples: Coelacanth, Horseshoe Crab, Nautilus, Gingko Biloba tree, Horseshoe shrimp. Obviously their life form works or it wouldn't survive. Species like the Manatee and burrowing owls are dying out because their species model can't adapt to a changing environment.

And Crocodilians.  Practically perfect water's edge ambush predators since before the K/T extinction.

And Christianity and other superstitious nonsense, and human stupidity, hasn't evolved much for 2,000+ years either apparently. :eek: :biggrin2: Solitary
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

I've used this example before when tutoring to help explain why some groups of creatures evolve and others seem to do so very slowly or not at all. They seem to accept it more readily when you can offer something they can relate to.

How to Explain Evolution to Your Fashion Conscientious American

Q: If humans evolved from monkeys, then why are their still monkeys?

A: Humans and monkeys share a common ancestor. Evolutionary pressures altered one group more than the other.

For example - the skirt and kilt share a common ancestor design. Cultural and fashion pressures altered one group (practically every season) while the other felt little if any pressure to be altered.
