Author Topic:   Cuvier, Owen and Agassiz were correct!

Georges Cuvier, Richard Owen and Louis Agassiz were the three greatest zoologists of the nineteenth century. They all denied evolution. Let me tell you why. It is because sexual reproduction cannot support macroevolution (speciation). In short they were correct because evolution is no longer going on. Darwin and Wallace by comparison, were mere naturalists with overactive imaginations at best. Of course I do not deny the fact of evolution, only that it is no longer going on. That is what forced me to give serious consideration to the semi-meiotic hypothesis. I thought I would offer this little tidbit as a proof that I am daft. Have fun poking fun at this one as you have with all my previous posts. I have presented the evidence for sexual reproduction as an anti-evolutionary device in my 1998 paper as well as in the Manifesto, so there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for any further clarification on my part. Read and enjoy! salty

This is pure hypocricy. I have been bombarded with references presumably refuting my posotion. When I offer you a paper a touch of your mouse away, you accuse me of not following the rules. If that is your concept of a forum, close me down. I don't need that kind of a discussion. salty
