fascinating stuff, I like the way Darwins theory is more firmly boardered to things once they get going, how it is described as a framework for understanding rather then the end in itself (after reading Darwin's work, it was blatantly obvious to me - a layman that he simply didn't have a clue wtf was going on with regards the mechanics of it.. iirc he suggested that blood of all things could be the stuff responsible, which to me was just ironic, since I believe that the red blood cell is the only cell in the body that doesn't come with its own dna).
I understand it in as much as the principles go, but my lack of higher education shows up blatantly when trying to dig into the detail of it all. I just wish that I could explain it in a way that even hardend fundies like my folks in law that even they couldn't dismiss it.
offtopic, the folks in law have recently gotten back from a trip that lasted a week, so its been bliss... I just wonder when this topic will rear its ugily head again.
@fluffy and Karlos:
Don't worry about the thread, it was good to include what you did because it put context to what caused the necessity for the thread.
I just wish that I had the education you guys did. I guess I will always be more of a mechanically minded person then one for theory :-)
