I did not say that there were no potential big problems I merely
asked you what they were since you provided no supporting
arguments as to why the items you posted presented a problem
for evolution.
I happen to think that problems are what make science both
interesting and challenging.

It's hard to see how this has anything to do with the studies that
you mentioned. For example, I did not see anyone suggeting that
Prokaryotes descended from Eukaryotes. What I did see was some
arguing about what happened during evolution. This type of arguing
seems to me to be common place in science.

Hmm..., well if Steve Jones were to become an evolutionist, now
THAT would be a big problem for evolution. :-)
Just kidding. I'm pretty sure I could do this for any theory of
evolution you name. But let's not change the subject.
