*wave*wave*

I'm at work, not the library.

The preening narcissism of society oozes out of every festering aspect of this modern world. Again - why should biology escape the trend?

"Be all that you can be - and more!"

I realize of course that what you want is *nothing*. As a fully qualified lover of this BS world, you're just being a pill for the hell of it. You couldn't care less if I supplied you with mountains of "evidence" - because what you *don't* want, what you and all your watchfully eyed brothers and sisters *don't* want, is a judgment. My *judgment* is that biologists have failed to point out the obvious - natural selection is a *theory*, with testable consequences, while "evolution" as such doesn't exist - there is no way of knowing at this time how organizations of amino acids leading to proteins emerged from some hypothetical chemical brew posited by a comet, or space aliens, or whatever, so to talk of origins is nothing but speculation. It's - gasp! - religion with another God, the one looking back from the mirror.

All this handwaving and personal attacking of me doesn't alter the fact that on this particular point, all you have is sweet fuck all.
