Steve Shaw

I have conspicuously done it in words of as few syllables as I could muster. Isn't it the gastropod breeding season or something?

A good, standard, Shaw answer. No information. No rational argument. A gratuitous insult.

Well, Steve, I've looked but I can only find one post of yours that might count as an explanation. I asked you what you meant by "Evolution is true in every facet of its general thrust." and you replied -

That was in response to Shimrod, not Mr Disingenuous above. Fossil evidence, morphological evidence, evidence from developmental biology, genetic evidence and biochemical evidence on many levels, right down to the subcellular, have all overwhelmingly supported Darwin's theory, and no evidence (in spite of manful attempts by religious quackery) has been produced to oppose it. Of course, there has been controversy over the pace of evolutionary change, etc., even over the exact mechanism of selection, but nothing whatever to undermine the general thrust of the theory. There. Facets and thrusts to the heart's content of your average gastropod. Of course, Snail knows all this, but he's a bit slow on the uptake, as ever.

and shortly afterwards you said -

Just for you, I've already expanded above on why I think evolution is true, but you don't appear to have read it yet.

(My emphasis in both quotes.)

If you can't work out whether you are talking about evolution or the theory, how can you expect me to? Remember that it is you who insists on the distinction between The Theory of Evolution (which you don't say is true) and Evolution (which you do say is true).

If I have missed your monosyllabic explanation, here is your chance. If it's there already, you don't even have to type it in, you can just cut-n-paste. With a few seconds effort you can humiliate me completely and get me off your back.

How can you resist this opportunity?
