How are “the chemical details behind macroevolution” different from the “the chemical details behind” reproduction more generally? Does Tour believe that we don’t understand the chemical details behind reproduction sufficiently that he can say for certainty that he is in fact his parents’ son? If not, on what basis is he casting doubt on macroevolution?
Such comments suggest that, outside his expertise in carbon materials chemistry and nanotechnology, Tour’s statements should not be considered reliable.
