Not OK. OK? And I notice you did not even attempt to address the evidence I presented showing that there are many cases of "multiple evolution events"- any one of which would be "troubling" and improbable.

I was a science teacher for 13 years. You are a writer of Western Fiction. Where do you come off claiming I don't care about science? Is it just because I won't make your leaps of naturalist faith?

"I presented showing that there are many cases of "multiple evolution events"- any one of which would be "troubling" and improbable."

I devasted your claim of improbability. I mentioned the genetic "switch" that turns on and off the formation of wings in insects.

You ignored it. But that one piece of data makes your argument from personal incredulity, with NO supporting evidence, void.

And I notice you did not even attempt to address the evidence I presented showing that there are many cases of "multiple evolution events"- any one of which would be "troubling" and improbable.

I dealt with that when I told you what my problems are with data anomaly soup. Here's an even higher level summary.

The Earth is wide and it's got a 4.5 billion year history. Something improbable figures to be happening somewhere all the time. You can make lists of improbable things till the cows come home and nobody's going to admit your list as proof of the alternative theory you didn't present because it was too flipping goofy.

I pity the kids who had to learn science from you. You are openly hostile to the spirit of inquiry. A you-can't-make-me-see-ist, nothing-I-don't-like-proves-anything-ist dumb-bleep teaching science! Sometimes the foxes get hired to guard the henhouse. It happens.
