    Odd. He's gone mute. I thought he'd gleefully show us how much he knows about evolution.

          You're right, of course - I never thought that. I just wanted to show you how much science there actually IS in evolution.

                        ... two with which to cover their eyes, and two with which to cover their ears. News at Princeton: Evolution's new wrinkle: Proteins with cruise control provide new perspective[^]

                        A team of Princeton University scientists has discovered that chains of proteins found in most living organisms act like adaptive machines, possessing the ability to control their own evolution. The research, which appears to offer evidence of a hidden mechanism guiding the way biological organisms respond to the forces of natural selection, provides a new perspective on evolution, the scientists said. The researchers -- Raj Chakrabarti, Herschel Rabitz, Stacey Springs and George McLendon -- made the discovery while carrying out experiments on proteins constituting the electron transport chain (ETC), a biochemical network essential for metabolism. A mathematical analysis of the experiments showed that the proteins themselves acted to correct any imbalance imposed on them through artificial mutations and restored the chain to working order. "The discovery answers an age-old question that has puzzled biologists since the time of Darwin: How can organisms be so exquisitely complex, if evolution is completely random, operating like a 'blind watchmaker'?" said Chakrabarti, an associate research scholar in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton. "Our new theory extends Darwin's model, demonstrating how organisms can subtly direct aspects of their own evolution to create order out of randomness." . . The authors sought to identify the underlying cause for this self-correcting behavior in the observed protein chains. Standard evolutionary theory offered no clues. Applying the concepts of control theory, a body of knowledge that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems, the researchers concluded that this self-correcting behavior could only be possible if, during the early stages of evolution, the proteins had developed a self-regulating mechanism, analogous to a car's cruise control or a home's thermostat, allowing them to fine-tune and control their subsequent evolution. The scientists are working on formulating a new general theory based on this finding they are calling "evolutionary control." . . The scientists do not know how the cellular machinery guiding this process may have originated, but they emphatically said it does not butt

                            Ah, yes, the old ""evolution" (whatever that word means) is as well "proven" (which word your set also avoids understanding) as gravity" gambit. Oddly enough, we *never* see physicists saying things like "gravitation is as well proven as 'modern evolutionary theory'" Also, and oddly enough, I notice that you seem to be under the wild misunderstanding that your lame attempt to mock my mockery of your mock-worthy beliefs is on an equaly footing.

                                      Ah, yes, the old ""evolution" (whatever that word means) is as well "proven" (which word your set also avoids understanding) as gravity" gambit. Oddly enough, we *never* see physicists saying things like "gravitation is as well proven as 'modern evolutionary theory'" Also, and oddly enough, I notice that you seem to be under the wild misunderstanding that your lame attempt to mock my mockery of your mock-worthy beliefs is on an equaly footing.

                                      :rolleyes: I merely asked whether Newton's philosophy was now acceptable to your lot. I understand that the 'all truth is revealed in the Pentateuch' brigade of 250 years ago despised Newton. Do their descendants still do so?
