The understanding the fundamentals of chemistry require calculus. Bonding bonding itself is due to minimized energy configurations which are only understood by arriving at the picture by the use of calculus. Understanding radiological methods and pathogen growth rates requires it.

I am not a doctor, though i have taken college level chemistry up to and including organic and biochem...and I don't have a clue about calculus.

What's it mean? Perhaps you can tell me.

What I can say is that I don't recall evolution actually being stressed that much, or at least not to the degree you might think, by observing this debate.

I do recall that the texts would say that such-and-such organisms would have traits that were 'adaptations' to given environmental factors.

I submit that the text could have just as well said the organism or traits were 'designed' to function in a certain way, without sacrificing any fundamental understanding of it.

But I understand Darwin did away with all of that.

Or he supposedly did.
