"Universal common descent is one of them."

lol Common descent is one of the best supported facts in science.

"So is random mutation as the mechanism for change."

That's not postulated as a mechanism for change. Natural selection is though.

"My Philosophy of Science teacher use to savage Darwin's thought process as well as many other scientists all the way from Galileo to Einstein."

Just goes to show how little a degree in philosophy means. :)

I said universal common descent, not common descent.

"So is random mutation as the mechanism for change."

From what I hear, natural selection has to have something to select.

Well, at least they teach us to read.

LOL. When I was finishing my philosophy degree, my advisor gently hinted that continuing on to get an advanced degree in philosophy might not be the best path for me.

Even at 22, I understood what he meant.
