" How long have fungi been classified as Eukaryote organisms?

"Taxonomy is an ongoing process.

I never said that it wasn't an ongoing process. The field is so ongoing that there are many minor squabbles going on between the various schools of thought.

However that doesn't change my point. The Baraminologists are claiming that evolutionary taxonomists and paleontologists are, through the placement of organisms in specific classes, attempting to bolster 'evolution'. The vast majority of organisms were already in place before biological evolution was ever formalized and match quite closely the order Genomic studies suggest. If the majority of classification was accomplished before the formalization of Evolution how can they claim that Linnaean taxonomy was designed to bolster Evolution? Obviously they can't.

BTW, developing a classification system based solely on differences will produce completely arbitrary classes.

Precisely correct!

The similarities between Eukaryote organisms are exactly what gives credibility to the TOE!

On the other hand, the distinctions between them are arguably what gives credibility to the IDers and their reasonable position, and justifiable grievances concerning the outrageous ignorance of some former ambulance chasing now hack judges, et al.

Judges with completely bogus rationalizations for their pronouncements, and really big gavels.

Sigmund Freud ought to get a shot at those pinheads who wear their penis in front of them while us Bourgeoisie are compelled to stand at their presence.

Yeah, wearing judge robes, obviously intended to hide the fact that they have little dicks. But us of the great unwashed are supposed to think that it is the other way around!

I learned all this stuff back in a different millennium because I watched a lot of Star Trek, and a few views of the truly great movie makers who are quite dead now, but not quite yet forgotten.

Well, I had a library card too.

I do the best that I can as a lowly high school drop out.

Sophistication is not my forte.

I just read a lot.
