               The same is true of many plants whose ancestral seeds found

               their way to these islands. The many species of the beautiful
               Hawaiian Silver Sword and their relatives, collectively known
               as  the  Hawaiian  Silver  Sword  Alliance,  are  an  example  of
               adaptive radiation in plants over millions of years from an
               ancestral  pacific  coast  tarweed.  Nor  is  that  an  isolated
               example, fully 95% of Hawaii's endemic plant species are found
               nowhere else in the world.

               Mauritania had the Elephant Bird and the Dodo, neither one of

               which flew there, and they sure as hell didn't swim. Perhaps
               Noah dropped them off there while trying to find his way back
               to the Middle East, you think?




               Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, was separated
               from other landmasses for 88 million years. During that time
               plants and animals on the island evolved in isolation; 80% of
               which exist nowhere else in the world. In each of these areas,
               evolution  took  separate  paths  that  refute  the  creationist
               concept of a creation event.




               Since birds can fly and establish new and distant populations,
               they  can  establish  diverse  populations  where  genetic  drift
               alone could result in new species and be further shaped by
