Evolution has only to do with evidence and nothing to do with religion.
that is what irks me the most about topics like this.
you throw out an anomly and everyone starts accusing you of being a creationist.
starts accusing others of being brain dead.
when i first posted these quotes james refered to the group of scientists as being in a state of communal madness.
grumpy refered to my source as a pop sci rag.
others accused lewin of being creationist.
but now, now it's like "what's the big deal"?
"a lack of memory is a weakness".
you know, if i was the author of NAIG, i would have been all in sciences face over this.
the number of people that wrote to science and bitched about the article IS PROOF that it WAS NOT a small deal.
everyone except ayala that is.
and yes, science could have lost a bunch of money over this.
but hey, it was a "misunderstanding", right?
heh, heh, yeah, go tell someone else cause i don't buy it.
you will notice that NAIG makes no indication that they contacted science.
and that is the very FIRST thing that should have been done.
no big deal, but it was big enough to get NAIG to contact ayala.
so, what does ayala do?
he does what any normal person does and bitches to everyone else EXCEPT the horses mouth.
uh, right.
