Hi Von Cullen,
Welcome to EvC. I hope you stay a long while and can show me and the other members a few new things.
I'd like to point out that you have not, at least not to my satisfaction, shown your two points to be examples of evolution PRATT (point refuted a thousand times). Am I wrong here? It seems you have only shown how a poster has poorly used a quote from Darwin and then you have shown that the poster's poor choice of the word "could" somehow implies that his hypothesis is weak. I didn't read it that way at all, I think the interpretation is wrong, or let me rephrase that, I KNOW your interpretation is wrong.
I have to admit I really love this sentence:
Von Cullen writes:
This is the problem with societies main stream view of evolutionary science. Possibilities and educated guesses get presented as irrefutable fact.
That one still has me thinking about its veracity. At first look I feel that it is wrong but in the sense that true and good science always has a tentative quality about it due to its nature. Science always seeks a new and better explanation for the facts. Your claim is a criticism that should never really be ignored even when the criticism is unwarranted. Also, I hope you're not trying to move the goalposts in that is seems you're trying to change the subject away from the evolution PRATT.
