    Ruby why are you linking to articles that cost $38- to read? I have google scholar on my browser too.

    In a sense the genome does not have to change as for example in a mutation

    Yes is does. There is no sense in which evolution can happen without the genome changing.

    cofty - I do like talking to you and I have no wish to destroy your confidence as you do come out and raise topics that are necessary for jws and ijws. But having said that I think that your understanding of evolution is narrow as demonstrated in this statement for the reason that I have already stated. edit: there are moral and ethical reasons why it is significant that individuals can bring about far reaching changes that may not be taken up during their own lifetimes - and this is another reason I am pushing this

    Which has absolutely NOTHING to do with biological evolution.

    there you go again -

    it has everything to do with human evolution and our niche building developments - this imo is another one of your problems with narrow definitions

    edit: now I really do have to go

    (okay - now that I am all nicely blow dried and perfumed)

    You are right caedes, I don't think cofty respects my opinions enough to pay attention to them.

    I think Cofty respects empirical facts, perhaps you could try some of those?

    no amount of empirical evidence will make a difference if the basic understanding of evolution is narrow and somewhat flawed.

    oh the irony.
