re: Your suggestions for improvement...?)))
Liberals and utopians believe in perfectability, and I'm neither and I don't. It's already a pretty darn good system--except that people are flawed and scientists are as flawed as any humans. This seems to me a rather straightforward assertion--which has produced some alarm among the white-coated. ("Heavens--are we no better than the next guy? Then why did I get that Phd, anyway?")
Ineffectiveness of peer review led the dingaling state guv in CA to set aside $3B based on stem-cell "discoveries" which have since been exposed as fraud. Here is a monumental failure, which ought to cause more than a moment of humility.
Maybe my suggestion would be to look at the peers of peer review with a speculative and skeptical eye...? Like, who watches the watchdog?

That is quite a leap to imagine that a fossil fish means that we once breathed through our ears.
So please point out why the evidence is faulty.
It is as absurd as concluding that my Buick evolved into a Ford truck because there are some similarities.
False analogy. Neither your Buick nor Ford trucks are imperfect replicators. Why creationists think that such bad analogies are stinging arguments is a mystery to me.

Irreducible complexity is not an argument that evolution does not occur, but rather an argument that it is “incomplete”.

If people want to knock religous thought, let them do that. Just don't try to mislead the whole world into believing that a microbe tripped on the sand, grew into a snail, which fell off a ledge and became a snake that became a monkey that metamorphed into a human being. That's just stupid!Right. It is much more intelligent to say that man was created from sand.
