Re: genetic diversity
Which is a misrepresentation of my argument again.
That was actually a question, put in order for you to represent your argument clearly. Let me put it again. Would you say that O. aries has less diversity than O. orientalis?

Re: genetic diversity
Ability to interbreed is an artificial category invented for the ToE.
Er, no. It's a line of demarcation that exists in nature. It's the one classification that isn't artificial, arbitrary, or subjective. Now, do you really wish to claim that two populations that can't interbreed are the same species? If so, what's to stop us from saying that you're the same species as a chimpanzee?

Re: genetic diversity
Instead of changing the English language so that "speciation is impossible" is what you want to say, why not change what you're saying until it's what you would say if you spoke English like everyone else?

Re: ring species, gene flow, etc
You remember how in every example we've looked at, evolution works how geneticists think it works and not how you think it works?
Why do you think that is?

Re: Oooo now I see the confusion ...
But there's still way too much trust in something adaptive just happenng to show up by chance.
But observably they do. I guess geneticists put "way too much trust" in observations, they should follow your lead and ignore the observable facts, maybe? Then they might agree with you. 'Course, in that case they would not, strictly speaking, be geneticists.

Re: Population Genetics - Faith's errors
That's because, as I've explained so many times, the source of alleles has nothing to do with the processes that reduce genetic diversity.
Oh Faith, not again, not again.
