Touche~ Sir !!! I was surprized to learn
of some "educated elites" as late as
the turn of the century 1890's - in the south pacific... These were "transplanted" government members from Dutch / English colonization era..... THEY STILL THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS FLAT !! In the book "Sailing Alone Around the World - Capt Johua Slocum" non-fiction Sheridan House - chapter XVIII gives excellent interviews of such a meeting of Mr. Kruger, the Transvaal president, (christmas 1897), When presented with LOGS and (navigation explinations of the stars, and from the Portegese University.. JUST SHUT DOWN Mentally - yelling "Poppy COCK" you mean "Sailing IN the World" He refused to listen (as a child throwing a tantrum - holding HIS fingers in his ears refusing to listen to even one more "bit of it !" THE WORLD IS FLAT - YOU CAN SHOW ME NO PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY !! he said. All attempts were meet with "THAT Proves Nothing - or - THAT'S NOT EVIDENCE !!! " (sigh) Capt Slocum (on his good ship
"SPRAY") just continued on his historic
voyage... _circumnavigating the GLOBE (world) single handidly_ Some time's it's best to let the Closed Minded
remain in their little castle
rooms (content -as it were) ... For there is an even GREATER Universe (our world + heavens) that would boggle those minds even further... ref: Dana's pursuits:
As for Plant(s) evolution and changed _species_
- I only recall the COCKROACH
... now There is a "puppy" that hasn't changed in a while !!! I MUST CONCLUDE (speaking only for myself, else would be arrogant) some "plant(s) must surely remain the same too - How about the Spore(s) Family and the ancient "Stromolites"
found only in 4 Australian Lakes, but they go back 3000 million years in their
fossil family history - STILL UNCHANGED !!! to consider a _hybrid_ rose of 300
years ago is one thing, but Three THOUSAND "MILLION" Years ... shows
growth CAN and still DOES remain the same in places...

AN OPEN MIND is a ~BLESSED MIND~ though one my be labeled a
Looney - at his time, The TRUTH will out !!
Best to you & yours
