The Definition for the Theory of Evolution

You are unread and completely ignorant. Johnson is a recognized scholar. A change in gene frequencies is the geneticist definition of evolution. It is not the only valid definition of evolution. Evolution is inferred; it cannot be observed in real time because it is too slow. What happens in the molecular universe is not falsifiable as one must take the word of the scientist on it, whether an Evolutionist or Creationist.Evolution is not observable. This makes it much like Creationism: we do not get to see exactly when God creates by special creation. Like evolution, special creation is inferred after the fact.Now that I know you are unread and ignorant I will not be reading anymore of your messages.Ray

And this is the only thing that this topic is about (as you knew). Except for your dating (1920s; when in fact according to Mayr it occurred in the 1930s and 40s) Percy has stated a historical and scientific fact.The biological synthesis has decided that natural selection is the main mechanism causing evolution. All other mechanisms are auxilliary. I had plainly stated this fact up-thread in response to RAZDs error laden posts listing NS as merely one causal factor.It is not a matter of opinion: The Theory of how Evolution happens is by natural selection - period. Thousands of books in the 20th century have been written supporting this claim.EDIT: Darwin titled his book: "On The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection."That is the only correct definition of said phrase. I will not embarrass RAZD by posting his messages that list NS as just another concept on a list thereby giving the impression that NS is ordinary and equal to the other things on his list - SHEESH!RayEdited by Cold Foreign Object, : No reason given.
