What is this?

//They may have printed Haeckel-like drawings, but his version of recapitulation has not been taught for 100 years//

I am about 20 years older than you, and you are out to lunch on that one, as with most other things that you insist are irrevocable fact.

By your logic then, I doubt there is very little you can speak on directly yourself.

You seem to think by calling these people 'creationists' and 'cranks' etc you demolish them.

I will say this. There are some 'cranks' alright, and they will be found in the ranks of evo-cultists.

They are seduced by the false sense of intellectual supremacy that seems to be a magnet for the personalities the cult draws in.

No, Haeckel's biogenic law has not been taught or accepted for a long, long time.

" By your logic then, I doubt there is very little you can speak on directly yourself."

This is nonsensical. Not out of character for you though. :)

" You seem to think by calling these people 'creationists' and 'cranks' etc you demolish them."

The list was supposed to be evolutionists who made statements that threw doubt on evolution. Instead, it was padded with avowed creationists who never accepted evolution. Or, it included people like Koestler, who was neither a scientist (he was a writer/journalist) nor did his views (neo-lamrakism) reflect what evolutionary biologists think. These people simply don't belong on this list. Period. Why, for instance, is Duane Gish on it?

" I will say this. There are some 'cranks' alright, and they will be found in the ranks of evo-cultists."

You're a one-trick dog. That's all you ever have to say. It's so boorish.
