Curious that so far people have tended to load one side of their team.I'd pick
Aaron as the team theist (alternate slevesque)
Modulous as the team atheist (alternate ringo)
and
cavediver as the team physicist (alternate Son Goku)... to fill in my weak side/sEnjoy.The next question would be whether we set up a Team Great Debate and what the topic would be

Hi slevesque Normally we don't debate by bare links, but you were asked to provide this information.
National Geographic is not peer reviewed.

quote:

---

John Grehan, of the Buffalo Museum of Science in New York State, and Jeffrey Schwartz, of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, say that the DNA evidence cited by many scientists only looks at a small percentage of the human and chimp genomes.

---

I could have predicted that Schwartz would be listed. He posted here twice - see Message 38 in the Dr. Schwartz' "MIssing Links" thread. Because of that thread I bought the "Sudden Origins " book.See my "Sudden Origins" by Jeffery H Schwartz book review thread. And my conclusions at Message 18.You can also read\download Do Molecular Clocks Run at All? A Critique of Molecular Systematics by Jeffrey H. Schwartz.Note that he has to question the molecular clocks to make his hypothesis seem more plausible, because current thinking is that orangutans branched off before gorillas which branched off before chimps -- so he has to do a lot of rearranging of data to get to orangutans. Oh, and the branch to chimps branched to bonobos and chimps after they branched from human lineage ... according to the genetic evidence.Enjoy.

Hi Chuck77 Don't put yourself down. We are all hear to learn. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but if anyone was going to "stack the deck" consider a team with both Straggler and myself ... working together to tear down the opposition ... it would be a massacre.(The old "keep your friends near and your enemies nearer" ploy?) A very necessary role, that needs to be impartial, and able to pick the best of the team to answer specific questions.Enjoy.

Hi Straggler One of my favorite quotes: If the two of us were on the same team, tag-teaming on the opposition, the thread would be over the 300 post limit before the other side finished their opening statements Enjoy it for whatever it is worth.

Hi Strags RAZD still works, I was just struck\touched by Dawn Bertot calling me 'Zen Deist' in our debate (that I need to get back to) and I found I liked it.Pure subjective response eh? Plus, in response to a post I can saySee Zen Deist ... (ducks)Enjoy.Edited by Zen Deist, : added pun
