More importantly, do you think that Darwin knew that there was TRILLIONS of cells? Of course, he didn't, but did he even believe that there could be hundreds of cells. Nope.

So what? The theory of eovlution does not require the existence of cells. It requires heritability, variability, and natural selection.

By the way, are you going to acknowledge you misrepresented that webpage?

Misrepresenting implies conscious intent. We have been tweaking Mr. Sun for a while, and I honestly don't think he is capable of understanding the problem. Perhaps English is not his first language.

"misrepresented" is a little harsh, and I thought you were one of the nicer evos. I'm still waiting for all of the many evos that attacked me, called me names, ATTEMPTED to put me down, etc. for saying that the body has TRILLIONS of cells to admit that I was correct. Darwin convinced scientists of evolution based on the antiquated information that the body only had one cell, so it IS important.

ALSO, the core of evolution is that one species can become an entirely different species.

What got me to first delve into the fact that there has been no proof that one species can become an entirely different species is when I read it in a book by Judge Bork. Judge Bork is not someone who is devoting his life to the ID theory, but wrote a book on a number of things covering culture, the Constitution, etc. He only devoted one or two pages to his "there is NO PROOF that one species can become another species" view out of his entire book, hardly a person who is devoting his life to ID, so probably at one time quite open-minded about the evo theory.

I'd say he is one of the smartest, well educated, well-informed persons in this country, so his view should be respected, even for those who don't agree with him.

Evo requires going across the species line, not developing variations within it.

Hi RWP...by way of a nice analogy, thermdynamics does not require the atomic theory :-)

Full Disclosure: ...but it sure is convenient, isn't it?

Cheers!
