LMAO! I haven't wasted any time here. I just don't have time to satisfy your needs.

The little exercise wasn't proposed to satisfy *my* needs, but yours. I suggested it as an easy way for folks here to find out, with a minimum of effort, what is going on in the scientific community with respect to evolution. I suggested that folks look at the Salk and Scripps web-sites because (1) these organizations are at the very cutting edge of biological/medical research, and (2) their web-sites are very easy to navigate and have excellent search facilities.

Salk and Scripps have performed a tremendous amount research that has benefitted every American; their research has led to improved therapy for diabetes and cancer, for example. I thought that it would be very desirable for folks here to see how much the theory of evolution has contributed to the good work these institutions have done. (And don't forget that the founder of the Salk Insitute won the Nobel prize for developing the polio vaccine).

"their research has led to improved therapy for diabetes..."

If so, then why is diabetes taking more lives, and causing more blindness, and amputations than ever before?

Next time you're trying to help out "folks", I suggest directing your post to "All". Aside from any assumption you may have made, you don't have a single clue of what I think in the evolution debate, but I appreciate you thinking of my needs.

I guess the answer to my previous question is yes!
