Often, there is imo such a level of disinformation and misinformation, misunderstandings, etc,...directed at me and other critics of evolution, that it is difficult to correct the mistakes on one thread. I would like to address the following comment by percy which was made in an effort, imo, to seriously try to undermine my credibility and dispute a basic fact of what occurred in an interview which relates to the significance of Darwin as expressed by prominent evos.

I think you need to admit when you're wrong. I have the program TiVo'd, I listened to it very carefully for portions that touched on your claims, I earlier transcribed portions of it, and Watson and Wilson do not make any comments about mutation and randomness in the first 30 minutes. There's no mention of random mutations, no mention of the origin of life, no use of the word "autonomously".
I have recently located an audio link to the interview which clearly indicates right off the bat exactly what I said took place, namely that there was mention of random genetic changes, and specifically the words "autonymous" and "independent" were used contrary to what percy claimed.
Here is the link. You can click to hear these exact sentiments and words in the audio. It baffles me how someone could have honestly listened to this interview and claim the evos being interviewed did not make these claims. Listen for yourself. Click on the part that says to click to listen to the audio.

Since I don't know of another way to correct this, I have proposed a new topic for percy to subtantiate his claims, just as many such as shraf have done and been permitted to do concerning even peripheal comments I have made.
