Boy, he really wiped the floor with McG. Lovely how these stupid arguments were destroyed in rapid speed.

2. Lizards make adaptive change

So studying the phenotypic difference is just as, if not more relevent to understanding morphological differences

Hi Lightnin, I agree, that this study is very important and the results are extremely exciting. Just trying to satisfy my reductionist cravings, heh.

I have had many a discussions with Christians that argued from this angle of phenotype and denied this kind of change in the genotype. I know this argument is nonsense but a thorough DNA analysis would lay any doubts at rest for good and give a very very powerful layman argument for evolution.

they were genetically identical to the original ones

So I guess they didn't sequence the whole DNA but were just looking at markers?

Would be interesting to know, how much the DNA really changed to allow for all these tremendous adaptations.
Or was it all phenotype?

As it is we are both in my corner, and it is hard for me not to regard the gloves as off

And off they are indeed. The professor seems to have a case of righteous anger. ;)

5. Cutting Edge: Baby Bible Bashers

RHR, yes, it's in the bible, old testament to be precise. (Numbers 22-24). The story is about a seer called Balaam. Quite a funny read.

In general this video ranks in the top region of the saddest and most disturbing videos I have ever seen.
