"Its not a new idea of course always will be another Joseph Smith , John the Baptist or Jesus , they await the latest one in Iran the Jews , one only guesses are still waiting . Seems there is a competition between the Israeli rapturists & the Iranian rapturists for who's messiah will come first now . The Indians just don't care" Well said...

And in another episode of "what else is new?!"... "...But creationism and intelligent design are not scientific alternatives to evolution. They lack the fundamental requirement of scientific ideas: the ability to generate testable hypotheses. This is what biologists do even without directly observing the thousands of generations usually involved in evolutionary processes. Geneticists search the genetic code looking for evidence of recent changes, selective sweeps, and balancing selection. Paleontologists scour the globe in search of fossilized remains of extinct and extant species and use these to work out evolutionary histories and relationships. Neuroscientists look at how tiny differences in brain structure affect behavior. Biomechanics specialists analyze how small changes in morphology affect locomotion. Behavioral ecologists study the relationship between environment, behavior and reproduction. None of these fields alone tell the whole story of evolution. But together the specializations within evolutionary biology have produced an overwhelming and indisputable amount of evidence for the evolution of species by natural selection. They have shown that tiny differences matter. They can have large effects on survival and reproduction and when enough of them occur, new species result. There are still big, hard questions in biology. But whether speciation is due to evolution is not one of them. The evidence is overwhelming..." wickedlocal.com
