When I used to work at an insurance company in Nebraska, I had a conversation with one of my coworkers. I accidently told him about a crocodile in Florida, he immediately told me that there weren’t any crocodiles there only alligator existed.
In my heart, I thought I made a mistake but I told him yes, there were some crocodiles in Florida. We both googled. To my surprise, there are actually crocodiles in Florida and that’s the only place in the world to have both alligators and crocodiles coexist!!!! No other place.
I got lucky and my coworker admitted his mistake. Then my curiosity of alligators and crocodiles grew. After further search, I learned that there’s one more country where natural habitat of alligator exist. It is not in south America nor Africa. It is in China! Why alligators exist in seemingly two unrelated countries? Both US and China are so far apart. Whereas crocodiles exist most warm waters including Austria, Africa, South America, South West Asian countries, etc.
Several years later from the conversation with my coworker, I took my daughter for a road trip to South Dakota. We visited Bad Land national park. When we joined a ranger’s class, he showed us an alligator’s fossil. He told us that a long time ago, alligators existed in South Dakota. I got so curious to see whether alligators migrated to Southern states including Louisiana, Texas, and Florida where alligators exist today. There’s a missing link between South Dakota and these southern states!
I learned the evolution theory as an animal adopts the environment and evolve to fix. If this is really true, then why alligators in South Dakota did not evolve to fit there. Why no trace of alligators from South Dakota to southern states?
I started to doubt about the evolution theory and actually this is not a proven theory. It is generally accepted theory.
When my daughter asked me to take her to a museum in Lincoln Nebraska, I learned not only mammoth roamed around Nebraska but also African lions and camels! I was able to find a biology professor and asked her why these mammals exist. She told me that no one knows the answer. Again, if the evolution theory was correct, then why these mammals could not adapt the changing condition of Nebraska and evolve to fit.
The more I see animals, the more I doubt the validity of the evolution theory.
