I love it. It simultaneously makes creationists and evolutionists look bad. For evolutionists they now must explain not only the development of functional systems that are adaptive but explain the development of guide processes that can’t be adaptive in the generation they appear.

The error in your gleeful analysis is the idea that scientists would "look bad" if a science-based, fact-based theory somehow replaced TToE. If there is a better theory out there that explains the billions of data points kgathered to date, any scientist worth his salt will accept it (given the rigorous analysis required by modern scientific methods -- anyone remember "cold fusuion?").

I am sure supporters of Newtonian Physics felt a little silly when Einstein physics was accepted as the new paradigm.

This "finding" 1) doesn't say what the OP says it says; 2) does zero to suggest or buttress an ID or Creationist view of evolution.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

You're wrong. Many people (scientists included) wouldn't believe in God under any circumstances. In fact, the only thing that would convince most modern materialists that God exists is if He Himself appeared here on Earth, working miracles and proclaiming His authorship of all reality.

Oh, wait -- He DID that. And yet some still don't believe...

Typical lazy intellectual reasoning that has no basis in reality. Nearly everything man has created through today is due mostly from or entirely from Newtonian physics, not Einstein.

I didn’t say ‘scientists’ I said ‘evolutionists.’ Too many evolutionists are ideologues will indeed look like idiots if there is a paradigm shift because they have refused to acknowledge any of the accruing anomalies.
