bill, I will come back to your big post later, as I got to do some running around soon.
by short time scale, I mean, by what can be observed in living memory or more recent records, but certainly not any myo time scale.
"....of what evolution actually is.." kerkuts definition seems to encompass it concisely. would you disagree with him ?
"....basic changes in genetic structure..." that sounds impressive !. so what did the fly and the virus turn into ?
these are very fast reproducers , I believe, so they must be just the thing to prove macro and information gain type evolution !.
maybe it is you who stubbornly refuse to see the difference between evolution as per kerkut, and scientific observations accepted by scientists whether evo ,crea or anything else !
