Evolution...Heir to the Throne - you must be joking. Evolution by natural selection forms the basis of all biology and, in turn, is at the heart of medical advances. <br /><br />Of more direct interest, see the 2001 PBS special on Evolution and AIDS where they note "Evolution through natural selection can be seen happening in real time by observing HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV has been able to rapidly develop resistance to any drug developed to combat it due to the power of random variation acted upon by selective environmental pressure. <br /><br />Evolution: "Darwin's Dangerous Idea." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/01/1/l_011_20.html <br /><br />Next time you talk to your doctor, ask if they "believe" in evolution. I think you will find the answer enlightening.SamStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310056245164582177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-69650669351362012082013-04-29T15:29:52.893-04:002013-04-29T15:29:52.893-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.SamStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310056245164582177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-81224169508621638002013-04-29T15:12:11.784-04:002013-04-29T15:12:11.784-04:00Distressing is the right word.

As Bill Nye laments, the US is one of the top countries in the world in terms of scientific advances, but the general electorate is woefully ignorant of even basic scientific principles. The mistaken belief that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge" sums it up very nicely.SamStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310056245164582177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-22760729913907708242013-04-28T21:25:22.916-04:002013-04-28T21:25:22.916-04:00I wish Bill Nye and his acolytes could answer this...I wish Bill Nye and his acolytes could answer this or show any real scientific discovery that relies wholly on evolution by natural selection.<br /><a href="http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/04/mailvox-evolution-and-slippery-slope.html" rel="nofollow">Mailvox: evolution and the slippery slope</a><br /><i>What scientifically significant predictive model relies primarily upon evolution by natural selection?</i><br />Social Justice NPC Anti-Paladin™https://www.blogger.com/profile/14533575674043719198noreply@blogger.com
