“I will happily debate Ms. Hewitt.”
Why would she lower herself to debate you? Science is not establish by debate. What do you care if other people agree with you or not. If they are wrong, well then, to bad for them.
Why do you believe in Lamarckian evolution? (I’m learning your methods.) You’re the only one that has mentioned it. The moth example is a fact, one frequently used by evolutionists as an example of adaptive evolution.
Speaking of Giraffes, what kind of mutation would cause the growth of a long neck, and an especially developed heart to pump blood all the distance at the same time? If they weren’t developed at the same time, which came first? Certainly not the long neck or they couldn’t have survived. When you’ve answered these questions, tell me how you know it.
I see, to have your own opinion about something, to not bow down to some authority or the other, is now call “unbridled ego.” Well, as a matter of fact, you are absolutely right. It’s also called independent individualism, it’s also called thinking for yourself, it’s also called originality. These must all be things you despise. I guess that would make you a collectivist second-hander who has never had an original thought of his own.
You don’t need to verify it, she could send you her research papers, which I doubt you would understand. But no one really cares what you think. Believe what you like. It’s a free country so far.
Have a nice day!

Science IS debate. You make an assertion and back it with logic and evidence. Your opponent makes a counter assertion an hopefully has logical reasoning and evidence to back their claim. Science evolves through the filter (natural selection) of logic and evidence. Hypotheses that canot survive logic and evidence perish; those that can, propagate
Your Lamarckian Maven is invited to debate her proposition. I will do it alone, or if you will allow, I will invite my rational friends.
I would take him up on it. I have challenged Allmendream to debate a number of scientists, and when it looks like it might happen he backs out every time. I doubt very much Soliton is a scientist seeing how he doesn’t even have the wherewithal to write his own stuff, and instead choses to borrow the work of others without attribution or even quotation marks. Allmendream, on the other hand, is a low-level scientist who likes to pick fights with novices, but when faced with the prospect of debating pedigreed scientists, he goes running for the hills faster than Richard Dawkins or PZ Meyers can renig on a movie release.
