Liz, the article has nothing to do with evolution, it's just about why there was such a huge 'explosion' of quakers in Mexico which the researchers traced back to legislation in Europe which shifted the international market of wild caught quakers from Europe to Mexico. It doesn't even have anything to do with adaptation because Mexico is similar to my country in temperature and such...
And there is no need for you to apologize about what you believe! I know A LOT of people who believe in God and have no problems with them at all. I am of the 'live and let live' philosophy... I even have a friend who believes there is a race of alien lizards that feeds off humans emotions and a cadre of very powerful and very rich humans who work for them creating wars and such [she believes that Trump is one of them]. And there is this Jehovah Witness lady who comes once a month to argue with me about creation versus evolution. We have the greatest chats! I love it because I love to debate and she likes it because she says I give her the best practice!
