What's that old saying about little knowledge making men skeptics, while much knowledge leads them to...
"leads them to ..." what? I don't know this old saying...
Francis Bacon, the philosopher. Little knowledge resulteth in atheism, while much knowledge leads to belief. I don't use quotes because I don't have the exact saying at hand. On the subject of "rapid evolution," I just don't know if I can buy the selective reshaping of human organs in response to differing circumstances. I tend to poo-poo Darwinism because of its uncanny power to act as a substitute religion for the congenital atheist. This is not quite enough, I realize, so I look for transitions in my bumbling layman manner. Now, if one looks at dogs, one realizes that some mammals are capable of endless permutation, given selective breeding, and one might find a "transition" in a wolf-dog offspring, so I don't consider myself as closed minded. It goes without saying that this phenomenon is not a transition proper, but things of this nature keep me from closing the door on evolution.
