Dr. Welch, I recommend Jonathan Wells' book "The Icons of Evolution".
Also, I weould appreciate when you respond to me that you address me as Dr. Davison. Maybe we can restore a modicum of decency to this discussion board. Thank you very much. John A. (salty) Davison, boy curmudgeon

There is nothing frivolous about interacting with creationists, unless of course one is an atheist. salty

I will gladly discuss Wells' comic book, "Icons of Evolution." I will especially be glad to discuss his section on the "growing crisis in molecular phylogeny." I have already documented his dishonest use of quotes.
But, with my room temperature IQ and all, what do I know. My Amazon.com review:

I find Mr P's description of Salty's behaviour at message #18 to be both accurate and insightful.

wj, I fully agree with you on this.
Unfortunately, I do also find a lot of truth in Salty's appraisals of SLPx. Moose

Moose, one persona might be described in certain circumstances as "abrasive", the other appears to be dysfunctional.

S: There is nothing frivolous about interacting with creationists, unless of course one is an atheist. salty
M: Hey imagine that! Yet another unsupported statement...what a rarity from salty....why would atheists and creationists not wish to understand each others views? Since there are both on this forum the forum itself negates your assertion....aside from the fact that there are plenty of people who believe in god/vishnu/allah etc. and both understand and accept the theory of evolution.

S: You have no idea of what I have or have not thought of. Such arrogance!
M: Actually, we do have a pretty good idea of what you have not thought of. You make it clear that most basic concepts in biology and especially of experimental research are completely beyond your grasp. You have also admitted to not keeping up with anything remotely current and base all your claims on long debunked and dead people...so it is pretty clear you have never thought of anything that approaches science. S: Of course I am an outsider and proud of it. M: Then why do you whine like a baby any time you are challenged, threaten to leave, beg me and others to stop posting to responses to you? Hardly sounds like someone who is proud of their stance...oh yeah, and don't forget your statement that you had the majority on your side and the majority is always correct ..maybe Taz' diagnosis should have included schizophrenia? S: Einstein once admitted that if he had obtained the academic position that he had sought, he never could have conceived of relativity. M: And you claim that Taz is arrogant? At least Einstein understood the subjects he was talking about. S: I think I have done remarkably well considering that I have been surrounded (at UVM) by a bunch of Darwinian mystics for the last 30 odd years. M: Lost your position, are completely unknown in the scientific community outside of a few of us who post on this forum...after 30 years?..that is your definition of having done well? Hate to see what you call having done poorly. S: I am sure that spurred me to expose them as apparently I have, judging from some of the behavior they have exhibited. M: you mean behaviour like trying to get you to support the assertions you make? Not accepting that you are the genius you say you are? Not accepting the statements you make uncritically?...oh horrors of horrors S: I don't think being a curmudgeon is half as bad as being a blind follower of a transparent myth. M: Oh you mean like the flood? or ex nihilo creation of kinds?

Funny then that a sceptical scientfic community embraced and then greatly expanded on and provided evidence for Darwin's theory both during his lifetime and to this day....which you would know if you actually read any of the scientific literature post 1900
