Milton is not a crank, he just has a brain that asks the hard questions.
Milton is a crank who has no idea whereof he speaks. Dawkins points this out at Review of Richard Milton: The Facts of Life: Shattering the myth of Darwinism, it's reinforced by his incredibly poor performance in the debate enshrined at Debate between Richard Milton and Jim Foley, and Larry Moran recently pointed out some of his crackpot ideas at Re: Milton's _Shattering the Myths of Darwinism_
If you are current on the status of paranormal research then you know that no credible scientist questions the existence of the paranormal. The only questions in this subject is how and why.
Erk? Could you please back up this incredible assertion? AFAIK most credible scientists acknowledge a faint possibility that paranormal phenomena may exist, but certainly nobody has provided strong evidence that it does exist.

Think galileo all his "peers" thought he was a heritic
No, his peers in the study of nature did not think he was a heretic.

This entire room seems totally ignorant of the basic claims of neo-Darwinism and Creationism - just basic stuff that is 101.
There's another possible hypothesis; that yuo don't have any knowledge of these areas.
The evidence strongly indicates that you are stunningly ignorant of the basic claims of neo-Darwinism and creationism, and the rest of the crowd ranges from somewhat knowledgeable to expert.

Crashfrog says that atheism and evolution are not synonymous.
Yes they are it is not a matter of opinion. You are ignorant.
I seldom get into my religious beliefs in this kind of discussion because I don't think they are relevant, but they are here.
I am not an atheist. I am a supporter of evolution. I accept the facts that evolution has happened, that the theory of evolution is the best (and, as of now, the only) scientific explanation for the observed data, that the Earth is circa 4.5 billion years old, the Universe is circa 15 billion years old, that life is circa 3-3.5 billion years old, that there was no global flood within the last few tens of thousands of years.
Your claim that it is not a mtater of opinion is corect ... but the fact of the matter, that is not a matter of opinion, is that evolution and atheism are not synonymous. Your lie insults tens of thousands of religious believers who do not accept your peculiar views. You are wrong and ignorant.

Re: duplicate skulls, genes
mutation is by chance and it is random then Milton simply points out that we have vastly similar creatures evolving on two different continents which according to Milton must border on the miraculous.
And which, according to those who understand genetics and evolution, is expected to happen once in a while. Especially since (as has been pointed out and you have ignored) the creatures are only vaguely similar.
Your comment says more about Milton and you than it does about evolution.
