"Modern cell biology doesn’t support Darwinism."

"It was through exposure to influential scientists and their questioning views of Darwinism as a Columbia grad student that Schwartz became interested in exploring the issue."

Another stupid strawman attack.

I think that I'll contact Professor Schwartz to see if he'll be one of my 2,000. Heck, it looks like he might know some people at Columbia who would sign on also.

I'm sorry that you're so offended by the inability of some of us to believe the incredulous man from single cell amoeba "theory" concerning the origin of the species. When you prove it, I'll believe it. Until then, I'm adding Professor Schwartz to my list.

You said "Evolution is settled, pure science and anyone who says otherwise can't possibly be a scientist." Please explain where anyone here has ever said that anyone who disagrees with evolution "can't possibly be a scientist". I won't hold my breath.

If the above statement is not a challenge to Darwinism, then what is it?"

It's a challenge to some currently held views on how evolution has occured, with a counter-proposal that evolution has occured through slightly different processes. If you'd actually read the article and understood it, you would know that the professor is not saying that evolution does not occur.

Somehow, I doubt that he'd agree that evolution is "religious dogma". But thanks for admitting that you were lying when you claimed that "thousands" of scientists would agree with you.

I'm sorry that you're so offended by the inability of some of us to believe the incredulous man from single cell amoeba "theory" concerning the origin of the species.

So you appeal to incredulity, a logical fallacy. And yet Professor Schwartz doesn't seem to agree with you. But, then, you didn't bother to comprehend the article, so I understand why you wouldn't know that.

When you prove it, I'll believe it. Until then, I'm adding Professor Schwartz to my list.

How utterly dishonest of you, as Schwartz has not expressed any disagreement with common descent, and he certainly did not call evolution "religious dogma". But then, I've come to expect nothing but pure lies from creationists around here. Honesty seems to be the exception amongst them.

I'd be interested in his response.

I'd like to suggest that you go back and read the article again. Also, you might want to read the related article in post #13. Schwartz is not anti-evolution at all. He just thinks that changes (due to recessive cell mutations) happen significantly and abruptly (relatively speaking) rather than gradually over a long period of time.

Adding Schwartz to your "list" really would be a dishonest representation of his research and his views.
