Ahhh - the NEW 'we'll get those evolutionists with THIS one' question.
Mike Gene has been prattling on about this at the ARN site for a while now.
No longer able to rationally or scientifically argue against evolution and
the evidence for it, they now concentrate on the mechanisms. They will
ALWAYS be able to reject any evidence on that since it will be impossible, as
far as I can tell, to establish what exact mechanisms were involved in
ancient evolution, and they will always insist on being presented with what
is 'just over the next hill' before accepting anything. Mike Gene wanted
evidence that Natural Selection was the primary driving force behind
mammalian evolution. I presented two papers in which evidence for selection
had been found. He of course claimed them irrelevant because: 1.they did
not cover the evolution of all mammals and 2. (and this one is a gem) the
papers did not explain how they would differentiate natural selection from
artificial (i.e., designed?). How comforting it must be to continually move
the goal posts, then carry on about how the other team can't seem to score....
Of course, there has yet to be ANY evidence AT ALL presented supportive of ID.
I don't suppose there will be any time soon - of course, Mike Gene also
gleefully informed me that I, being a evolutionist and all, wouldn't be able
to recognize such evidence anyway. Only a special group of the faithful,
apparently, can see this amazing evidence....
