Lyle,

My absurd assertion was to get you and Jamesck tp come up from the
depth for a real discussion of Darwinian Evolution.

The (totaly absurd staement) was made to rouse the powers from the
depths. Actually I was hoping for a lot more folks to tell me off.

The real matter I want to bring up is whether or not Darwanian Ev.
can account for extant species.

1. Darwanisn is conservative in the extreme. It favors the production of
organisma who are well adapted to the environment of the parent organism(s)
prior to the point of "conception" or whatever reproduction is fashionable
among that species. It is crtainly not proactive.

2. There remain questions about the billion wears form the forst organoc
molecules untit th development of relativelt complex single celled organisms
and the development of "interchangable parts" in DNA based organisms. <
