Tour & Sanford

Not sure what I am supposed to have “called” here. It doesn’t appear to have been released yet in full, so it will be interesting to see whether Tour expresses any sort of opinion of his own on the matter or merely provides a platform to Sanford, or perhaps even plays a small game of occasional devil’s advocate.

You implied you think Tour doubts the evolutionary model

From my POV who sees the evolutionary history of origins now that I’ve studied it more as ludicrous, I actually agree with him. They’re not willing to examine an option that doesn’t fit their model. I actually thought that the evolutionary model had more power before I’ve learned here.

Thank you for saying that. You have correctly understood James Tour’s message. I’ve understood it too. Everyone who reads his articles and watches his talks can see it perfectly well.

I’m assuming he thinks Sanford’s model has some merit, to risk getting flack for having him on his show. And based on being willing to say what he said in the last two seconds.
