Sure...if you want to teach the kids Lamarkian theory instead of Darwinian. Vaderetro's understanding of (as opposed to familiarity with popular writings on the topic) evolutionary biology is a bit less than that of the most wild eyed Usherite.

Actually, he demonstrates an excellent knowledge of evolutionary theory which everyone should have, and which everyone would have if only the schools taught science properly. And the best way to get a good grasp of evolutionary theory is by going to the original source text, Chuckie Darwin's Origin of Species. Not only is it one of the three or five most seminal scientific texts (I only rank Newton's Principia and Copernicus's On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies as being more significant), it is one of the most beautifuly written books you will ever encounter. It ranks with the greatest works of Plato and and Aristotle as a masterpiece of rhetoric and argument.
