Macro-evolution doesn't impress me. It lacks the ring of truth even without its lack of evidence, which is why the debate wasn't ended long ago.

The real debate has ended a long time ago. Scientists (so-named because they actually understand science) almost 100% unanimously accept the theory of evolution on its strong merits, and have for many decades. The fact that the debate persists in the general public only makes a statement about the pervasive and unsettling lack of understanding of science among the general population.

The scientists who ridiculed Weggener ALL believed in a different model ~ interestingly enough, they also believed in gradualism.

We now know gradualism doesn't work ~ tectonics work!

I detect a thread of "gradualism" in the posts from the Evos here ~ time to catch up to DNA though. The dynamics there simply do not require "gradualism". In fact, we can go in and change the whole picture ourselves. Over the long run we will probably take charge of our own and other genomes.

That's going to really pi$$ off the Creos too.
