Re: Oh well
I hadn't realized evolution was so darn complicated.
Its kinda like that game, Othello:
Their slogan is:
quote:
A moment to learn, a lifetime to master.
Evolution is, simply, random mutation plus natural selection. That's the basic concept that is fairly easy to learn. The unimaginable results that that simple process can unfold gets really complicated and can take many man-hours to fully explain.

Re: So where did little Jimmy go?
Not so much "set me straight" as I am not arguing against evolution. I am just trying to make sense of some things that just don't seem straight forward to me.
I see, I misunderstood you when you wrote this:
quote:
There are still things about the ToE I don't completely buy into
I took that as you saying that there are still things about the Theory of Evolution, i.e. RM+NS, that you haven't accepted yet.
But you're not questioning the theory, itself, you're trying to get a better understanding of how the theory can explain some observed facts.
So that's good. Some honest learning
Too often when people "Question Evolution", rather than honest learning they're looking to reaffirm other beliefs by attacking the theory, itself.
Unfortunately, not a whole lot of response (not as active a topic as little Jimmy's). Maybe you can provide some insight to my questions?
Its a lot easier to talk generally about the theory than getting into specifics like you bring up. I'll have to catch up with a lot of reading before I can make a meaningful reply.
