Thanks for the reference Krimel. I will watch it. It may not have been appropriate to use that website as it is socially charged. It was a one stop shop that does sometimes actually draw on some science, there are better references to google. I am not a proponent of intelligent design, as I feel that "intelligence" is overated, and has no real meaning. It is something humans use to make themselves feel different and better. I could go on with this in a more mystical, psychological, or reductionist manner, but I would be trying to sound intelligent. The point was that the theory of evolution, as all theories, will have a limited lifetime. Of that I have no doubt; to deny that would be to deny the history of science. I certainly have no alternative, for although I have a Ph.D. in biology (and have learned all the science of evolution), I do not have the capacity, or interest to develop an alternative. In fact, I think the concept is quite meaningless in one sense, and dangerous in another as this is used to justify the concept of a hierarchy of races and the human struggle for superiority within itself. There is no struggle, the tree of life is simply a river delta as it nears the ocean, the water (life) is guided by the surface of the terrain (nature), and branches accordingly. If you like the struggle concept, that is your choice. I am more a follower of the Tao, or Quality, path, as I understand it.
