Find a valid "hole" and I'll have no objection to teaching it. Got any?

First off, let me say that if I offended you in my previous posts, I apologize. A “hole” I think that I have is covered in my post # 430.

You haven't offended me. Or anybody that I have seen (not that I can speak for them).

As for your post 430:

Fine. But then please tell me how a single celled organism, which does not “select” to reproduce, but instead divides itself, evolves into a multi-celled organism. And how an organism with 2 cells divides to become a four celled organism, and so on and so on until we reach humans. Has science ever noted a single cell ameba divide into a multi celled organism? Hope you understand all of that.

Every significant organism on this planet (including you) started out as a single-celled creatures and they all made the transition to multi-cellular without a problem. As for how the first single celled creatures, within a swarming sea of such creatures, somehow cooperated to form a primitive multi-cellular (and then self-replicating, organism) some 3 billion years ago, I don't know - but I am not an expert on that. At the same time, I don't have a problem with it conjecturally.

Similarly, I'm not an expert on quantum well interferometry but I have no problem with the technique.

In most of such scientific questions, the question is not "is this idea the truth" but "what are the alternative hypotheses that explain the same observable phenomena better." And further research is almost always directed at disproving the most obvious and simplest hypothesis.
