No. Your post earlier was great. Your comments on Darwin's leanings toward Lamarkian type thought and the disagreements between the early Darwinians who believed in blending vs the Mendelians was right on and something most people wouldn;t know. I only know it because I read a book about mendel.

I appreciate your compliments. But I am no expert; I know these things because for a few years, just for personal interest I've read a variety of books on biology, including books on genetics, evolution, and intelligent design. Also, I sometimes hang out at the local tavern with a colleague where I teach who is an entomologist. (He studies insect communication and how it affects evolution.) He was actually the one who told me about the problem with Mendelian genetics from a Darwinian point of view.
