    MSH: After numerous long discussions with
    various people, discussions wherein it was obvious my point was made,
    as my final arguments were left unanswered, I was dismayed to see the
    same people, a few posts later, talking to someone new but starting
    over spewing the same old shit.

    DM: Or maybe some of us thought we just could not get you up a level
    despite out efforts. Confidence is not a bad thing, but neither is doubt.
    Think harder, read wider, are you right, nothing you have said has
    convinced me and 20 years a student of the history of science
    must mean it is not ignorance about science that makes me disagree
    with you? So I ask, are you really sure you have a grip on your facts?
    I think people have offered some means to think outside of the box
    you are in, I agree with Scott, the fact of evolution is a box even I do
    not claim to see beyond, but random mutations plus natural selection,
    its a mechanism that must occur, but a full explanation, I think not.
    Deeper better ideas are needed. Here's a few:

    Try Behe's Darwin's Black Box, Sheldrake's New Science of Life,
    Koestler's The Case of the Midwife Toad, J Narby's The Cosmic Serpent,
    Geoffrey Read's The Coherent Universe, Woolfson's Life Without Genes
     -all with good science backgrounds- just for starters.

    NB I am not keen either or any or the current design theories, most are
    worst
    than RM plus NS. Probably Read & Sheldrake offer the most interesting
    long term prospects.
