I hope you noticed that after identifying Schindewolf as the greatest paleontologist of his day, Gould found it necessary to dispense with Schindewolf by saying that his views were "spectacularly flawed". The difficulties with evolution have nothing to do with real science, but rather with the eternal struggle for the control of man's position in the world. Darwinism is the religion of evolutionary atheism. Man is but an afterthought. In Gould's own words - "Intelligence was an evolutinary accident".
I agree entirely with Robert Broom that there has been a plan. I also feel that Leo S. Berg was right on with his view that there is no place for chance in either ontogeny or phylogeny. Just as music has its three Bs, Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, so evolution has its three Bs, Broom, Berg and Bateson. Of course there have been many more skeptics of the Darwinian fable and I am delighted to be one of them!

cut 'n' paste

It must be tedious for old folks like salty to have to re-write the same tired crap over and over. I suspect that at some point he just typed up a bunch of pat posts/responses, and pastes them as needed. Looking through his posts here and at Trainor the idiot's place, I noticed that most of his posts over two sentences in length seemed eerily similar to other posts of similar length.

Maybe cut 'n' paste with some minor modifications?

I have yet to see a post from him less than two sentences in length that are anything other than insults.

Re: cut 'n' paste

Maybe when he says evolution has stopped he really means evolution of his posts? As for salty's fixation with sexual reproduction not producing anything new...one can only guess at the dating scene as a candidate for governor of Vermont

Re: salty throws in the towel?

Thats because salty is running away, maybe from the dreaded Chicken of Bristol.

And they ate Sir Salties Minstrel, and there was much rejoicing.

--Salty, maybe you havent noticed, but Mammuthus's post #38 (which yours is a reply to) contains many valid comments, questions, and speculations. Why not assess them? If you do not wish to do this, please do not reitterate your claims and assertions in other threads. Take this as advice.

Re: salty throws in the towel?

Hmmm...now you are talking in the third person...if you are suffering from a split personality..could one of you answer the copious number of questions that are still unaddressed regarding your writings, ramblings, and rants?
