re: #398 Salamantis

Present me with a single shred of credible empirical evidence that contradicts evolution via random genetic mutation and nonrandon environmental selection; I triple dog dare ya. Ya can’t, because there isn’t a single shred of credible empirical evidence out there that DOES contradict evolution via random genetic mutation and nonrandon environmental selection. It’s a simple, falsifiable fact, and falsifiable by you presenting me with one iota or whit of credible contradicting empirical evidence.

Well you might want to read David Berlinski, one of the foremost scientific minds today. He takes a fire-axe to the received wisdom around Darwinian evolution. There are in fact severe problems with modern evolutionary theory. It is not nearly as fully understood as is supposed by the layman — nor has it attained the status of “fact” as so many others aver.

Few people I know lend the biblical literalists much credence, but the BS around evolutionary theory is thick on the ground these decades.
