    Walt, have you considered picking up an evolutionary
    biology textbook as a reference? You seem to be
    using _Origin of Species_ as your reference point,
    and that is quite inappropriate. I have Futuyama's
    and Ridley's textbooks available at my local library,
    and Ridley's very good anthology _Evolution_ as well.
    I suspect any of these references would help you
    immensely.

    Terry, didn't we ask the Bio PhD's to send in definitions
    of evolution as part of the poll? Are you able to post
    final results and the definitions?

      Now we need a scientific theory (like a gravitational theory). Darwin's was too simple and is not completely supported by the fossil record. People now talk about neo-Darwin. One should be able to list the theory in a few simple steps and then say what one might look for that could potentially invalidate it. Can _you_ do this for me, Wayne?
