"Sex is a selective pressure, and it enables intervention. Thus, human beings selectively bred animals to elmininate unwanted traits and to maximize preferred traits. The examples are abundant."

Non-predictive. It still didn't answer my proposal in post 352.
Before you accuse me of being a closet Creationist, I would inform you that Creationism is bunk. It is definitely due to insecure people trying to justify a mindset.
I am interested in science. If you want to accuse me as an epistemologist ( as they would at talk.origins ) and leave it at that, fine. I've been partaking in beer this evening and am rather grumpy.
But, wouldn't science be better served at understanding the mechanism, than pursuing grants?

Don't read too much between the lines...I never accused you of anything.

I was merely giving you some examples of selective pressure leading to speciation. I assumed you'd see the 'predictability' inherent in my rather simplistic statements. Dog breeders (and more) and microbiologists alike are successfully predicting evolutionary outcome as a matter of day-to-day business.
