Ya, I can see how helical would be stronger - more surface area and also quiter...give it another million or so years and an increase in the graveity pull and I bet the gears will be helical! Especially if they need to be stealthy as well...

Designed.

As usual no fossilized precursor to this bug is presented showing what came before and how gears evolved. That is, until someone like Leakey decides to fabricate one from whole cloth.

Ugggggggggggg. Why must you guys (not you Doc Holliday) make this thread devolve into a PARF debate? We just had [another] one here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-politics-religion/767834-gig-up-evolution-lie.html

If you are looking for an argument you can find one there but you have to look past the contradiction and abuse.

1. Either that or these fossils have not yet been discovered.

2. Either that or this is one of those evolutionary steps Darwin followers keep hoping to find.

3. Either that, or God is making gears for bugs when people are being gassed in Syria.

maybe someone should start a thread on this in PARF so the religious and/or non-religious discussion can be conducted
