> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence People say this, but it seems pointlessly dismissive to me. I'll entertain any claim, regardless of evidence. Extraordinary claims are often the most worthy of entertaining. My brain has no problem keeping track of speculation, provisional theories, and seeming facts. I don't have any trouble storing both "seems plausible" and "has evidence" notions side by side and juggling them accordingly. That aside, my general assumption about evolution is that, since there's no requirement for adaptations to "make sense" and they have access to all of reality, including everything science has yet to deconstruct, that animals almost certainly rely on adaptations far beyond scientific understanding. So a claim to that effect isn't that extraordinary anyway.
