If there are varieties of traits within a species, the variety is suggestive of absence of selection, not presence of it. Selection is the enemy of diversity. Thus if varieties have persisted, selection cannot account for the variety, thus selection is a flimsy explanation for what is observed.

Appeals to balancing selection, etc. have proven insufficient to rescue Darwinism from the obvious consequence of Fisher’s fundamental theorem of natural selection. One simply cannot explain diversity through a mechanism which works by extinguishing diversity.

Does anyone know where the salted moths rest?

Aisle 4, top shelf, right next to the salted cashews and mixed nuts.

Everyone is funny-looking if you look at them long enough.

I’m less concerned about the shape of his nose than I am with the shape of his ideas.

Feel free to go to town on those.

One can’t help but reach the conclusion God doesn’t exist after knowing that peppered moths rest on tree trunks.

lol

I like your post. Can you think of any situation where molecules drive information?

Boy, for creatures that are products of chance and irrationality, those humans sure do a lot of inventing.

I’m starting to notice a pattern here. Evolutionary scientist seem to have a high probability of suffering from a genetic defect which manifests itself in a socially unattractive appearance. This disorder naturally causes them to feel like unworthy children, which inturn produces a strong desire for approval. A side effect of this genetic disorder is a second rate intellect. With their strong need for approval, and less than stellar intellect, these suffers gravitate to a field with low requirements to fulfill their feelings of inadequacy. Evolutionary biology is perfectly suited to their condition. The status as professor, while it won’t fool an IDer, provides a source of prestige from their students, and the gullible public. I call this syndrome turpis-liber (latin for ugly child). Turpis-liber explains why evolutionist have such a hard time with ID. ID tells them, in effect, that their father never loved them. This is a message that is very difficult for them to accept.

Bill, if you’re not too busy you could get another Ph.D. in psychology analyzing this syndrome. Hopefully you come up with a cure for these poor people. This I think is the only possibility we have of helping them to lead a normal life.

Unincidentally, using “Science” to justify a religious position can work both ways.
