Did you see the news report of the sheep born that had a man's head?

Having been taught that everything was created "after it's own kind" this is definitely a shot in the arm for evolution to me. While obviously this is not the norm, it DOES point up what CAN happen.

Actually, evolutionarily, this is not the sort of thing we'd expect to see at all. There is no way, aside from random chance, that we ever should see anything like this. The odds against a birth defect in a sheep looking like a human are really large. Between this really happening, and somebody pulling a hoax, I think the hoax is more probable. (Not that it's not possible, if there are a large enough number of birth defects in sheep, eventually you should get one with a face like a piano, or almost anything.)

So I'd want to see a thorough examination of this thing to be sure that it's not a complete fraud. Oh wait - the carcass was convenietly burned before that could happen. Uh-huh. I'm not buying this story, not based on what I have seen so far.

Since the body was burned to prevent any possible investigation, I will file this firmly under 'hoax'.
(Assuming there even was a body.)

Oh come on! It's so much fun!

Leo, there was a body! I know! I saw the pictures and as the saying goes, "pictures don't lie"! Wink
