Salty,
quote:
Georges Cuvier, Richard Owen and Louis Agassiz were the three greatest zoologists of the nineteenth century. They all denied evolution. Let me tell you why. It is because sexual reproduction cannot support macroevolution (speciation).
Utter, absolute, cobblers. They denied evolution for no such reason. None of them were privy to knowledge of chromosomes, genes, let alone recombination. How could they possess such knowledge in order to make such a claim? Good grief.
