Confident?
From Percy: "I read through the questions and don't understand why Myers is so confident. While half the problems they cite are with evolutionary views I didn't even know existed, I suspect Myers might be confident because he understands precisely what's wrong with each question. But to me they look intended not to perplex Myers but to raise doubts among onlookers who don't understand what the heck the questions are about, but can tell they imply something's pretty fishy with evolution.
So here are the questions - is PZ right to be so confident?"
Well, anyone can be confident and NOT answer a single one of them. The REAL question is, did he CONFIDENTLY answer them?

Re: Confident?
Anyway Percy, I agree with you. They do seem pretty out there and complex and just because someone may not be able to answer them doesn't disprove evolution,IMO. Just like if we Christians cannot answer a question someone proposes us from the Bible it doesn't disprove God (to us) if we cannot give an adequate answer.
