Do you mean like when I asked what a mutation for a tear duct looks like, and he said a mutation to a sebaceous gland, and I asked what change and to which sebaceous gland-just one in the corner of the eye, and he said um, um..nothing?

Is that when he schooled me?

I am so embarrassed to be schooled with such insight blustery.

You should be. You should be embarrassed to even ask such silly questions.

By definition a 'tear duct' would be near an eye, and so yes, it would near an eye.

But there does not even have to be tear ducts. There are many critters that don't have tear ducts.

You still seem to think that there is a goal, that tear ducts are needed and so tear ducts are made.

It don't happen like that.

BUT, what does happen is even neater.

The question you should have asked is "If there was a mutation to a sebaceous gland near an eye that kept the surface wet, would it have given that critter an advantage?"

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Hey, I want to ask you, how come you believe in a soul while at the same time you believe in an unguided process of life.?

The existence of a soul is a belief, nothing more. It may or may not exist. It may well be nothing more than a human construct. There is no evidence so far that there is a soul.

There is evidence though that Evolution happened.

When you present evidence that there really is a soul, then we can begin looking for how it evolved.

on souls and ancestry

Let me explain something to you that might help clear things up a bit for you, because you seem confused to me.

First, I am asking Catholic Scientists why HE holds this belief. You see, you are by definition not capable of answering why HE believes this unless you are in fact him. I think this is known as the "individualist school of thought ownership"-or in some circles also known as the "who the fuck was asking you what he thinks" brand of intellectualism. Its a post-modernist thought I concede.

Does anything in that rant refute any of the things I said or are you simply unable to address the points I raised?

Bolder-dash writes:

Secondly, there may be evidence of common ancestry, but there is virtually no evidence of the mechanism for that.

In addition to that being irrelevant to the issue I addressed, it is also simply wrong.
