I do, however, consider him to be a lying, hypocritical ass.

Doesn’t it use principles explained by theTOE? Seems to me these people are going to redo the science by redefining the words – sort of like the current administration.

So the researchers used artificial selection to good advantage. But artificial selection is not Darwinism. …

An attempt to recover from the author of the article weighing in.

It’s all part of the unnamed designers plan – okay, let’s be honest, it’s part of the new messiah Rev Moon’s plan.

I do think however, that “Darwinism” plays no part in describing how Wells can function with his head placed firmly up his rectum.

Wells needs to get out more and take off his blinkers.

I mean, WTF? What is your problem, Wells?Your particular beliefs are refuted by everyday old history, and there’s no reason why a deist God wouldn’t be smart enough to make a universe that makes itself, via many processes including evolution. I don’t feel that there’s a need to invoke such a being, but evolution does not equal atheism. Like just about every other scientific field, it merely contradicts false ideas, including your bronze-age delusions.
