Question Blood Clotting

Since we haven’t had any good ID drive by’s recently, I was wondering if anyone would explain to me how something like blood clotting might have evolved. I’ve read a few arguments from both sides and understand how in theory IC systems can evolve, but I actually don’t understand how something like Blood Clotting could have evolved. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Try <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=c240c53.0111051405.4d5836cb%40po sting.google.com" target="_blank">this</a> FAQ. It deals with the evolution of the immune system. I think it includes blood clotting, but I'm not completely sure right now.

Addendum: It does cover clotting, now that I look again.

Note: The author is an immunologist.

I figured it meant eight days after you were born.
