Re: [Phys-l] About the "why" and "how questins."



I am so grateful that you are embarrassed for me. I don't think personal attacks belong in this forum. Is it possible you do not understand what I'm saying? I think that's quite possible. Instead of throwing out ad hominems, perhaps you could provide those simple experiments that one could perform in a week that demonstrate that global evolution throughout the history of the Earth is a fact.

Oh, my: I am embarrassed for Bill. ..
...Who thinks that "evolution is fact" contributes to some problem
or other?

Can somebody, anybody please list the first half dozen examples of honest
to goodness evolution that come to mind for Bill's sake?
Perhaps suggest an experiment that might take him less than a week
from start
to finish, that would demonstrate, absolutely, conclusively,
no ifs - no buts - that evolution is a hum-drum fact of life.

Bill seems to be confusing the details of the various theories of
evolution by
natural selection (which are open to scientific debate) and evolution,
which is about as controversial as the fact that matter has mass.
