Wow!
Je vous tire mon chapeau jusqu'...@ Larry<br /><br />Wow!<br /><br /><i>Je vous tire mon chapeau jusqu'à terre!</i><br /><br />Your immediate posts just preceding this announcement proved most prescient.<br /><br />I remain in your debt - thank you.<br />Tom Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829281784362177069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-10475440479451773662015-01-17T00:01:05.372-05:002015-01-17T00:01:05.372-05:00What I said was sensible so I should continue.

Thats not the point here.<br />Its about how much is denied and this because better investigation starts to reveal old errors.<br />Thats what I said and I do pay attention to the conversation eh.Robert Byershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631863870635096770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-5700844811978254102015-01-16T08:08:17.110-05:002015-01-16T08:08:17.110-05:00Dear Robert,

Yet to a creationist its funny that their point is to correct that selection didn't do much at atomic levels.<br />I think because investigation shows selection/mutation kust plain is unlikely at molecular levels. SO it has to be something else. So drift. A guess.<br />it really shows how past ideas are threatened with being wrong.<br />.So its possible these guys don't find DRIFT as a working mechanism for evolution but RATHER find selection as not working.<br />like the Gould stuff. they just find things are not true in the old evolution models. They add their own wrong ideas but the jewel in it is correction of a wrong idea.<br />In these matters correction is deadly. It means they were wrong.<br />Robert Byershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631863870635096770noreply@blogger.com
