If Evolution was proved beyond doubt...

I think this is possibly one cause of intrinsic human 'dissatisfaction' with the theory of evolution. Evolution is a highly contingent process and would never play out the same way twice, making exact predictions very tenuous in comparison to the physical sciences.At the same time, valid methods of inference are well developed to infer *retrospectively* exactly what did happen in evolutionary history, but these inferences are mistrusted by the uneducated in the absence of some evidence of 'precise' predictability.

You know, you guys are all down to splitting hairs at this point.
"micro ev. - yes", "macro ev. - no". Give me a break.Individual genotypes are destroyed every generation only to recombine as new gentoypes in the next (in sexual populations) so novel individual genotypes are inevitably formed (your 'microevolution').On the larger scale, populations diverge and separate so that new species eventually separate and subsequently diverge even further.All this you guys seem to accept, and yet the idea that higher level taxa could diverge even further apart - completely unacceptable !?
