"You must have peeked at orthogenetic theory. That's the discredited one that promoted an intrinsic drive towards perfection as the mechanism behind evolution."

Sssssshhhhhhhhh. I didn't peek at that one. I peeked at the theory of evolution. That's the one that says that man is nothing more than primordial soup with delusions of grandeur and doesn't provide evidence to back up its claims. It's not discredited yet, but we're working on it.

Before you can refute something, you must first understand it. It is clear that you do not understand the Theory of Evolution. Perhaps you should leave all this to those who do.

Your statements regarding the Theory of Evolution are simply incorrect. Therefore, any refutation of those mistaken ideas is worthless, since it has nothing to do with the theory in the first place.

Go. Read. Learn.

You should be patient; after all, it's hard to keep up with all those parts of evolutionary theory which have become discredited. Perhaps someone could post a link to a nice summary...
