Spoken like a true secular fundamentalist zealot, still fervently committed to that "Old Time (Darwinist) Religion".

Nice name calling. Pretty good series for this early on a post-holiday morning.

Do you take an interest in the advancement of all sciences, or have you just selected evolution as your special field of study?

A devotee of scientism typically takes umbrage at having favorite dismissive epithets tossed back in his face. They can generally dish it out far better than they can take it. So be it.

My Ph.D. is in mathematics (Univ of MN, 1975), but I have also studied physics, chemistry, and astronomy at the university level, and done wide reading in philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of science beginning with a series of college level courses in philosophy. My formal study of biology ended in high school, but personal studies have kept me in touch with developments in molecular biology at the level covered in, e.g., Watson's "Molecular Biology of the Gene". I see, in checking the Amazon listing, that I am one edition behind (4th). I will have to pick up the 5th edition and see what I've missed in the last few years.
