Yes, that's what I said.
you: Yes, that's what I said.
js1138, all things considered, that looks pretty infeasible to me. Perhaps you are reluctant to depart from a model that's become like a life-long friend to you by now.
Forgive the indelicacy of this quote from Dr. Chien:
...Darwinian theory is not just a scientific inquiry anymore. It has become a religion for many people although they do not confess it or recognize it. Once it becomes a paradigm or reference for all other areas of life, the resistence to change is paramount. Many scientists build their life studies on the basis of [Darwinian] evolution; they can't see anything differently. But for some people, including myself, we are seeing big cracks in the Darwinian theory. When objections to it from different fields gather momentum, we'll see it crumble like the Berlin Wall. We may see it happen in our lifetime.
Dr. Chien also points out that the earliest adversaries of Darwinist theory were not the so-called "Bible-thumpers," but the paleontologists.
He does allow a possible explanation of how such incredible diversity could have appeared all at once: drastic macro-mutation, of global extent. He says, "If you can have macro-mutation, anything can happen." But then notes that macro-mutation "is not scientific theory at all." What it is, is a philosophical view, specifically an ontological one, that cannot be tested or falsified.
FWIW.
