: What are you referring to?  And if it didn't go in one step, you have the additional problem of explaining how half-formed structures would survive.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 22:28, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

::‘All this had to be developed simultaneously [like the cleaner entering the big fish’s mouth at the same time the big fish suspends his 'normal' (post-Fall) habit of eating small fish], which as a mutation has the probability of zero. I am unable to approach this problem without supposing an innate drive in matter to perfect itself.' This is false, Scavenger shrimp and fish could have evolved the trait of picking debris off of herbivorous fish, then sick  highly parasititised individuals of carnivorous fish coudl have been docile enough to attract cleaner shrimp. Of those sick carnivores those who let the cleaner finish would have been more likely to survive than those who ate the cleaners as soon as they could muster the strength, Then those who were just feeling itchy could have used the same behavior, the braver shrimp would have been getting more food and producing more offspring and the more docile fish would have lower parasite loads and be healthier. These behaviors would have reinforced each other and soon the shrimp would be getting closer and closer to the mouthes of the fish, then inside. These behaviors would develop simultaneously but over a long time.--[[User:Brendanw|Brendanw]] 16:55, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
