Dear Everyone. F'starters, I'm NOT a scientist, or creationist, or anything-ist, it's just I've noticed this years and years agon, been searching for the reason WHY, off and on, ever since. Haven't even heard this mentioned and that's interesting in itself. Hokay, here goes! Insects and everything going on down from there - different body shapes, lots of legs, all to fit different specialized niches. Everything ABOVE insects - the SAME TEMPLATE. Octopuses and starfish aside, EVERY SPECIES is head, torso, limb at each corner of torso. Fish, yes, stand one on its tail and it has two 'arms' - fins - two 'feet' - tail fins. Whales, dolphins, vestigial limbs inside their bodies. Yet I've never read, anywhere, WHY everything's the same basic design. Why don't you get animals with 6 limbs, say, 4 to walk on, 2 to pick things up with? And why isn't this more of a talking point, why does everyone take it for granted this IS so without wondering WHY it's so? I mean I've got Asperger's so I might be missing something obvious, but I'm not seeing it! I mean - even dinosaurs. Do you get big dinosaurs with more than 4 limbs? Even T-Rex has vestigial arms on the top corners of his torso. Everything else I've seen - head, neck, torso, limb at each corner of torso. Now I'm NOT trying to prove anything with this question. "See? This PROVES there must be a creator!" "See? Proof of Parallel Evolution!" - nah. I'm not doing any of that. It's just I've noticed this and was wondering if one of you geniuses could tell me why, above a certain cutoff point, everything SUDDENLY became cut from the same basic template. Octopuses and starfish have always fascinated me because they're the ONLY TWO creatures I could find above insects that are designed differently. (If I've missed any others, might well have done, tell me!) The main thing I'm puzzled about is why you don't see this talked about more, have I missed the Utterly Obvious to the Rest of Humanity Reason? If yes, Mr. Asperger's here's spent a lifetime missing Totally Obvious Things, usually to his detriment. Just tell me WHAT'S totally obvious and I'll go away. Yours puzzledly, Chris.
