The Argument Clinic

I know that the evidence supports evolutionary theory, including some of the evidence that I myself have produced. I don’t “know evolution to be true” except when defined as “changes in allele frequency over time,” directly observable only over short time intervals. That being said, I don’t see any reason why it does not extrapolate to billions of years.

Hi John
Is your extrapolation based on your MYH7 argument?

This does not invalidate Behe’s paper which shows very long timeframes for fixation as the data you have shown is consistent with 30% of amino acid substitutions being neutral.
