Recurrent ID-creationist myths and tropes

Humans can survive with their arms and legs cut off (or missing). Many people do.

Seriously, Rum – wait for the pdf (sorry but I don’t have the capability, here in Chicago, of being able to archive pdfs on the secure server in Seattle). The problems I will describe arise within evolutionary theory itself – there’s hardly a “creationist” in sight in the entire lecture (which discusses phylogeny at length). If I could represent the situation in a Venn diagram, there would be an enormous region of overlap – most of their respective circles, in fact – between textbook evolutionary theory and ID. Go to an ID research meeting, and, if you’re an evolutionary biologist, you’ll feel right at home, except maybe for the occasional hymn singing on Sunday morning. :wink:
