Discussion by John Cox M.A. C/M

The question is this – Do we obtain proper representation of our Wild Horses from today’s wayward, and some even corrupt, government agencies, colleges that receive $-millions in donations of taxpayer money from these same agencies, or the current trend of non-profits that receive donations from dramatic shock-n-fear propaganda styles of misinformation, to do so?

Myself and many others are also finding, when perusing research papers as well as government documents, that many assumptions and non-referenced opinions about Wild Horses, are consistently, questionable. Vague science left non-referenced, and bias or myth projected as good science — leaves many of us with many questions about the legitimacy of government, and non-profit financed research, in regard to much of our Wildlife and Wild Horses in America.

I must add here, I am writing about information that goes beyond Darwin and his proven-theories of Natural Selection, into the modern-day context, which prove his theories more so, daily. This, in direct support, of his, and other people both pro and con in the matters of Natural Selection (which honest debate is always good for the outcome of good, quality science).

Allow me to narrow the playing field here, upon such a vast amount of science and information, and for the common man and woman to understand – When compared to scientific verbiage, which hides things, and often, and is confusing to many. Thereby, when evolution skeptics want to attack Darwin’s theory, they often point to the human eye. Here, I discuss the Eye’s of the Wild horse, and how Evolution “proves” no disruption occurred within the Wild Horses’ Evolution, in the Americas, in ancient times. How could something so complex, they argue, have developed through random mutations and natural selection, even over millions of years?

I center this discussion upon Darwin’s Theories of Evolution and Natural Selection – and beyond, as the Natural Selection paradigm proves itself time and again. I do this as we are all concerned, from simply book-fed pretend scientists and researchers, as well as those academics, that virtually have no experience in the field of Horse’s nor Wild Horses . . . or journalists and others mentioned here, that do not go beyond the Internet for their research. Lord knows, they would probably explode if they had a thought of creativity, and when dealing with science. . . LOL

“Mutations that improved the focusing power of the lens were favored by natural selection, leading to the evolution of a spherical eye that could produce a crisp image. The evolution of the vertebrate eye did not stop there. Some evolved the ability to see in the ultraviolet. Some evolved with layered eyesight, such as the Wild Horse”

I use here the Wild Horses on Public Lands as the landscape to prove my point within this capacity of debate, stating Natural Selection is far more provable, and by far, more to it than what we are led to believe by wayrd government agencies, corrupted non-profits, and college research staff that offer more questions within their awkward assumptions, than reality. Yes, most of this Abounds with the overly stench of money, that grabs attention dramatically, and research becomes a central outlet of inaccurate information, information left out, and decisions made, more often than not, on assumptive bias or myth.

Wild Horses disappearing, is a good example, assumptively (no proof exists of this, just wayward interpretation of periods where no proof either way existed, up to this point supposedly – but this is untrue as well, yet we see some proof unacceptable to established, and even shockingly, very snobbish academic people).

“Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence”, an old quote by Dr Carl Sagan, means, in a very simple term, that, if there is lack of evidence of presence of a thing, does not always conclude to the absence of that thing totally.” – Carl Sagan

We have a problem here — So “they” say, around 13,000 to 15,000 years ago the Wild Horse’s mysteriously disappeared from the Western Hemisphere. Although, Natural Selection and proof of Wild Horses “Evolving” without any questionable dispersion-rates; nor, disappearing at all, and we see good science, based on a sound theory, Darwin et al., and we see evidence of the Wild Horses not disappearing what so ever, but kept Evolving through Natural Selection up to this day in time. No interruptions occurred, as history can show us.

The fact of the Evolution of the “Eye’s of a Horse” remains fact-positive, among many other physical Charteristics of the Evolution of the Wild Horses in America (non-stop), in ancient and in todays times, as well. Evolution does not stop, despite how the government agencies of the BLM and the DOI, demand it does stop.

“The solution for Darwin was to postulate that a simple prototype eye evolved only once very early in evolution, which then through natural selection had given rise to the diversity present in nature. Modern molecular biology has now provided supportive evidence for such an idea.”

Years ago I was shown how to check a Horse’s eyes, for any flaws or troubling signs of sight-specific problems (i.e. I will do a synoptic explanation here, for those interested in doing so). As “on-trails” I need the Horse to see 100% e.g. cliffs, entanglements’, ditches, tree-stumps, in shade, et al., (yet another reason your horse needs too remain calm during periods of stress).

I point this out, as the Eye of a Horse had to evolve continuously, due to its obvious sophistication, and very elaborate structure. There could-not be full development of a Natural Selection Process, had a 13,000 year or 15,000 year period of no evolution occurred (bias and myth simply do not make any common sense most often – and just as often, very identifiable).

And the sight-specific lack of evolution of the Spanish or French breeds, show us, the Natural Selection Process of Ancient American Wild Horses (i.e. whether ancient tribes of people were aware of their existence or not, we remain optimistic, due to tribal histories of a select few of tribes, and the historical Nomadic Tribes from Siberia and their Horses intermixing with Wild Horses in the Americas’, noting proof of existence, with no disappearance – again, the Wild Horses disappearing has no evidence of such, other than assumption we assume to be nothing more than bias).

In fact, the eyes of the Horse corresponded to every stage, in this sequence of Evolution and furthered its complexity within a Natural Selection process . . . have been found in existing living species today. The existence of this range of less complex light-sensitive structures supports scientists’ hypotheses about how complex the eyes of a Horse (among other wildlife) could evolve. The first animals with anything resembling an eye lived about 550 million years ago. And, according to one scientist’s calculations, only 364,000 years would have been needed for a camera-like eye to evolve from a light-sensitive patch.

Bringing science together with experience, and we have information worthy of acceptable levels of fact. Here is where experience and science come together. When I check the eye of my Horse, it is in darkness, in the stall, or at night. For all of you “tool-junkies” and those who use words with many syllables to make themselves sound important (lol), I use an ophthalmoscope. But the tool is not mandatory by any means.

Stand in front of the ye, with a small pencil flashlight (on my key chain actually). Shine it directly into the Horse’s eyes, then move it to the side. This shows you that the coronea clear.

Shine the light, again, straight at the eye, and wait for the pupil to contract. Move the light slowly away, and the pupil should expand. This tells us the Horse is seeing, reacting normally to light.

Now the very interesting part, to me anyway. Evolution is amazing. Light a candle, and hold it in front of the Horse’s eye. You should be viewing three-images of the flame — Evolution – this just did not happen overnight. One in the coronae – upright, one on the front of the lens – upright, and, one on the back of the lens – inverted. Move the candle around, to make sure the images remain clear, distinct. This shows us, proof, the Horse’s eye, with the anterior chamber and the lens are clear.

If there exists anything you see, a disturbance, a cloudy rather than clear image, or anything out of the ordinary, obtain a veterinarian’s opinion, and treatment.

Here I use this as an example of a situation where the Horse’s Eyes, Evolved through a process of nature, or, what we refer to Our Universe at work – and termed it Natural Selection, which is applicable within our terminology. Often it can be Area-Specific. Myself and others have found, as well, many subordinate occurrences of Natural Selection, that fits right-in with the scientific forms and terms, of Evolution of our Wild Horses.

For example, a Horse eyesight develops through Natural Selection, specific here, under the canopy of tree-stands in the mountains. The Horse will develop a sight-specific situation of seeing in less light much better, than a Horse that was evolved on an Open Range Habitat, and in bright light. Other examples of Natural Selection, just within the capacity of the species of Wild Horses, as we see the many different layers and attributes of Wild Horses – and yet, bias and myth surround truth, overwhelmingly, as we see government agencies that are paid by Taxpayer’s, top-dollars I might add, to Manage our Wild Horses on Public lands, properly, and with good-science and analytical data, but do not receive such from these same government agencies and their over-site management, at all.

These government agencies today, operating under the Mission Statement to manage Wild Horses Properly, are not doing so. We find very corrupted non-profits, as well, alongside these government agencies. They, indeed, make a lot of money, as well, in deceiving the American Public.

We can truthfully state, clearly, I might add, these agencies and non-profits are in “Cahoots” with specific Special Interests. This fact is not so ironic any longer. Many receive $-billions in taxpayer money, unnecessarily, and once again, ironically, pay for the vast amounts of propaganda and disinformation, and even legislation, to promote their disinformation campaigns, to keep having Taxpayer’s pay subsidies. Quite frankly, the majority of Taxpayer’s would never approve any of the corruption we see daily now, if the facts and truth actually known. The Wild Horses are very important, and to many Americans’.
