As the article states, nobody denies that natural selection occurs, or that minor variations in species occur. Our skepticism involves that of the claims that natural evolution is responsible for and/or capable of macroevolutionary change, such as the development of the brain, or other major morphological forms. There is *no* evidence for this kind of evolution. There is data, and there is the materialist lense with which this data is examined, and then the conclusions are reached based on the a priori commitment to materialism. Please, address Dr. Johnson's assertions, or go away.

This is why you creationists have to rely on slippery lawyers rather than scientists in the actual field who know these sorts of statements are beyond ridiculous. There is ample evidence of transistional forms. But this never satisfies the fundamentalists because they want to see the guy inbetween the two individuals. And if you find that guy, they want to see the two guys inbetween those two, and then the four guys between them, and so on.

You creationists really aren't a serious challenge to evolution. We've seen way too much evidence of all forms of evolution, micro and macro, to have to rely on your old time religion for answers. Sorry.
