Instead of just criticizing a quote from the link, why not offer a scientific rebuttal?

I'm not pushing either way, I'm just discussing an opposing view. It seems that some here do not understand the difference in variance(skin color) and what it would take to change one species to another. I'm surprised at the virulence of the ad hominem attacks. This same type of attack would undoubtedly get me banned from the site. Anyone who does not wish to participate in the discussion doesn't have to. Instead of attacking me, why not offer a scientific rebuttal to the information presented?

What are you talking about?
Is this your reply to me?
I put a lot of effort into reading through that link you provided and, while I didn't go into their problems with explaining entropy, I did make a valid (IMO) observation about the tactics of their argument (i.r.t. thermodynamics).
Did you think I was "criticizing a quote from the link?"
I wasn't ctiticizing the quotes (except for the Jeremy Rifkin ref.) as they are valid. I added the quotes in my reply to show what they were talking about.
It's just the way this site puts snippets of valid science together, and the erroneous conclusion that they draw, that draws my critique. Do you not think this is "a scientific rebuttal?"
...to your new point....
I will agree that skin color variation is very different from variance into a new species. These involve different mechanisms, though still within evolutionary parameters.
I'll agree also, "I'm not pushing either way, I'm just discussing an opposing view."
Will you agree that the refuter's website "missed the boat" on that particular thermodynamics argument? I haven't looked at the rest of the site yet. Perhaps others will pick some other section to critique. I am still looking forward to commenting on their sections about materialism, but must read them first.
