Thanks for the education.  That clears up a lot of things, or
not.
 DM> :)  There is a theory that gravity can be explained by the presence of
 DM> particles called gravitons; not one graviton has yet been discovered. 
 DM> Yet, hold up a ball and let it go ... does it fall?
Yes, hold a ball and let it go, it falls.  Now,  breed some
chickens... Do you get anything other than a chicken?  Don't
whine, it's you who insists on comparing Evolution to gravity.
 DM> The simplest possible description of evolution is "heritable
 DM> adaptation."
And, the relevancy of that description is?  Or, are you
taking grammar lessons from Orwell's Big Brother?
 MB> This is misleading.  Yes, evolution is a change, but it is a change
 MB> toward the more complex - NOT the other way around.
 DM> You really should consult a biologist who works in the field, Mark. 
 DM> You're quite simply mistaken.
Yes, ask a fellow NAZI... An appeal to your authority is
nothing but a substitute for logic and reason.
