PUKS. If you haven't read Voinovich, read him.

You misjudge my intentions. I am REALLY interested in biology and evolution. Just because there was a brief moment when Soviet Communists preferred Lamarck over Darwin, should not have any impact on our understanding of evolution.

I gave concrete examples which contradict Jurassic Park paradigm - that DNA is the unidirectional master of life process, modified only by mere chance and winnowed by external selection. I am sure that there will be more discoveries coming that will point toward more complex and intelligent design.

Of course, from the hindsight of two centuries you can find faults in Lamarck, but not smaller than in Darwin. The key ideas of Lamarck in a updated form will be vindicated in my opinion. Just my educated opinion.

PUKS. Heritability of acquired atrtributes cannot be happening on lamarckian time scale, for that would require too fluid genetics. And genetics is reasonably resilient.
