(1,020 posts)There was nothing whatsoever snide or insulting to you in my post. It was a straight-forward discourse on the present challenges to the conceptions of natural selection (in connection with which I suggest the recent articles by Beatty, and Millstein's article "Are Random Drift and Natural Selection Conceptually Distinct?" .
In response to my post, you stated that you "didn't have time to give me a biology lesson." That kind of unwarranted crack to someone you don't know, and to someone whose scientific background you don't know, is very typical of the poseurs in this forum. Scientism is frankly rampant here, and it is deployed in ugly and snarky ways against anyone who dares to challenge the clubhouse bullies. Frankly, with all the talk about scientific "truth" and "proof" (neither of which is even conceptually compatible with actual science), I seriously doubt a single "atheist" here is anything other than a fraud. I did provide a "great starting point." And you chose to snark at it and treat me as a convenient target. Shove it.
