Anything changed from the original perfection by definition has to be bad.

Makes calculating frequency of deleterious mutations a whole lot easier. No Chinese calculus required.

No one has to wonder why his former colleagues dismiss his writings on ID as pseudoscience


It's really too bad you have your head in the sand. He discovered the problems and THEN looked for a better explaination.


John discovered what he thought was a problem and being the scientist that he was, he did look for a better explanation. The explanation that he came up with had little utility in the real world and was rightly dismissed as pseudoscience by the whole of the academic community.

Believe stuff you apparently hardly understand at your own peril. Just consider that what you hope is true is dismissed by a lot of smart guys that make a living at knowing what to base their scientific work on. Not a few of them also believe in God. You mostly hear them praying when grant renewals are due.
