Evolution's Trap
in response to reader comment: You couldn't be more wrong

Submitted by Pepper, May 24, 2007 13:24

We can't DO evolution. We can DO hybridization (aritifical selection). We can breed animals to our hearts content, and my chocolate labrador retreiver is a fine example. But no amount of Artifical Selection can begin with a dog and end with a cat. That's the difference between macro and micro evolution, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. It's the peak of both irony and arrogance when someone accuses people who disagree with them of not having the capacity to reason, when they themselves refuse to be open to reason.

Darwin wasn't a genius...Darwin was simply wrong.
