Uh, of course ID folks are saying "God did it." Who do you suspect the Intelligent Designer to be if not God?
Hmmm. I am having difficulty with your circuitous argument. Let me a little more concrete: I am not saying God did it. I am saying that some phenomenon are poorly explained by serial mutation. It is illegitimate to critique my argument because of your imputation of motives into someone else's argument. If you have a problem with the nomenclature of "Intelligent Design", then call it something else. How about "Something Other Than Serial Mutation". Let's use SOTSM from now on.

I am suggesting that support for serial mutation is weak. Period. There are several long, ugly threads on this forum with hundreds of posts discussing the implications of the theoretical options if serial mutation is not the cause of speciation.

Few problems are so complex that they cannot be substantially clarified by one more cup of coffee (or a nice cabernet if it is after 5:00)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
