AnOptomist....
[Read the article: What's wrong with science as religion]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh, and please do blather on how I'm so dumb that I don't understand that evolution is all incremental and that us being a few inches taller or birds changing color over time is easily extrapolatable into pure, obvious proof that inorganic slime, waaaaay wayyyy long time ago used to propogate life but that... oddly, it can't be done in an lab no more...
So it's obvious you don't understand evolution, the evidence supporting it, nor the scientific method. Not understanding this subject is no crime....
However, publishing a letter revealing your ignorance to everybody is probably not advised. You would do yourself a favor if you read and understood the subject matter at least to the level where you can discuss it intelligently. This probably means avoiding those creationists website and their "arguments" against evolution that will only end up lowering your IQ and obfuscating any understanding of the subject matter.
To give you one example: 300 years ago we had only the most rudimentary understanding of electricity. We could produce some sparks in the lab, but we had no real understandable theory that explained anything about electricity, electrons, or electromagnetism, not to mention advanced concepts like electronics, logic gates, amplifiers, computer logic, etc.
Your paragraph above shows that your concept of evolution is like what our concept of electricity was 300 years ago. Science has advanced way beyond your questions and criticism, and if you would bother to examine the current literature your head would probably spin for a 100 years. You are not current with the science, nor are your comments even remotely relevant.

And those who can't get ANYTHING right are republican pundits appearing on Fox News Sunday.
