Darwinism is based wholly on assumption and inference without a shred of hard scientific proof, so how can anything which scientifically refutes it in the slightest way be a surprise?!

No, I'm NOT pushing creationism (or anything else)! I'm taking this as yet another opportunity to laugh (out loud) at the folly of darwin who, just like environmentalist wackos do, based his wasted life on junk (false) "science"!!!!

All natural science is based on assumption and inference. If you think otherwise, I'd like to see your deductive proof of the theory of gravity.

Nothing about Woese's work refutes Darwinian evolutionary theory. The title of this thread is misleading.
