What "Preponderance of Evidence" would you be alluding to? The fact that there are no transitional species? The fact that nearly 100% of all mutations are detrimental? The effects of entropy?
You make a outrageous claim like that and then go on a tear of all those who differ with you.
You make some pretty huge assumptions on what this Professor knows or doesn't know about science and scientific method. A person you know nothing about but what you read in the article and the bias it contains. Still you have no problem calling for her head and besmerching anyone else who might also know that evolution is a nowhere near being a fact.
Still being as learned as you are about evolution then you are aware of Ernst Mayr's statement that
"evolution is a historical science" for which "laws and experiments are inappropriate techniqes" to explain it.
Sounds like religion to me, but for the countless fools who adhere to it, opposition to evolution is heresy of the highest order.
I do like how you bridge the begining of life problem by giving God the credit for that, but then you toss out the rest of the Bible you claim to believe. Nice try, but let's see how scientific you are. Please let us in on the mountains of evidence for the evolution of flight. Remember use your own words and be specific.
Good luck and God bless.

"Still you have no problem calling for her head and besmerching anyone else..."
I have done nothing of the kind, but obviously the knee-jerk (emphasis on "jerk") response of Creationism is alive and well.
"Please let us in on the mountains of evidence for the evolution of flight. Remember use your own words and be specific".
It is not me but thee who is full of rancor and hatred. You are comfortable in your ignorance and I will not disturb the sound slumber of your neurons. Creationists have demonstrated time after time on these threads that they refuse to consider the evidence, therefore, go in peace. We can debate this ad infinitum at the Savior's feet...after He tells you He followed all His own laws during the creation of the Universe...oh, except for Earth. On that planet, His laws never applied. Thorium and rubidium have half-lives of 3 days, yet are constructed so as to fool all the scientists. And He created fossils on a whim after a long day of dotting the stars about the night sky just so we would have something pretty to look at. Nevermind functionality, He did it all just for us, just so He could trap thousands of individuals and condemn them to the fires of Hell for having the audacity to believe the Earth was more than 10,000 years old. Creationism is a point of Salvation, evidently. Well you have to believe Jesus died for your sins, but more importantly you have to believe God made everything in 6-24 hour periods of time. Or else. < /sarcasm>
You guys are priceless.
