I concur with Randy's line of questioning. Menuge does not have a knock
down argument. He does does not say that Darwinism cannot provide
solutions -- rather (p.120) he says that it cannot provide *credible*
solutions. He says (p.122) that none of the Darwinian proposals is
*convincing* . He says (p.122) that there are systematic theoretical
reasons that *question* the reach of Darwinism.
