he should employ your tactics and just completely ignore them.You never read them.
*continues to wait for the sources to be addressed*
okay.I asked you to show where he states this. If you can't, then he doesn't.
The concept of natural selection as the foundation of evolutionary change has been largely superseded, mostly through the work of Motoo Kimura, Tomoko Ohta, and others, who have shown both theoretically and empirically that natural selection has little or no effect on the vast majority of the genomes of most living organisms.
. . .
Kimura, Ohta, Jukes, and Crow dropped a monkey wrench into the "engine" at the heart of the modern synthesis — natural selection — and then Gould and Lewontin finished the job with their famous paper on “the spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm”. The rise of evo-devo over the past two decades has laid the groundwork for a completely new and empirically testable theory of macroevolution, a theory that is currently facilitating exponential progress in our understanding of how major evolutionary transitions happen. And iconoclasts like Lynn Margulis, Eva Jablonka, Marian Lamb, Mary Jane West-Eberhard, and David Sloan Wilson are rapidly overturning our understanding of how evolutionary change happens at all levels, and how it is inherited.

i'm neither for or against evolution, and like i mentioned in another post i do not consider this a 2 sided affair.I really do not understand the point you are trying to make. You have stated you do not believe in evolution (which, by definition, includes macro) Now you post an article that states:
...has laid the groundwork for a completely new and empirically testable theory of macroevolution, a theory that is currently facilitating exponential progress in our understanding of how major evolutionary transitions happen.
You seem, again, to be quoting articles that go against your beliefs.
I'm not sure I understand intent of your comment.If you said evolutionists, I would believe you.
Oh yeah, I remember. It was something along the lines of...i'm neither for or against evolution, and like i mentioned in another post i do not consider this a 2 sided affair.
I guess I need to try again:again, here is the link to the entire article.
if you have issues about what this author says, then please take it up with him.

It should be pretty obvious. All evolutionists are scientists, but not all scientists are evolutionists.I'm not sure I understand intent of your comment.
Oh no! That one worked just fineInconsistent comparison. You missed the point entirely.
Care to try again without a logical fallacy?
i'm neither for or against evolution
There's plenty of pro evolution information out there, quit your whining. Non evolution sites tend to be less bias. Evolution sites are 100% bought into the lie of macroevolution.Why would someone who is "neither for or against evolution" link to articles/websites that are against evolution?
what makes you think that the last link above is "anti evolution"?In the first post you made in this thread #96 you linked to another of your posts in the thread entitled: "Common Ancestor Between Chimps and Humans".
In that post #200 you linked to a dozen articles/websites. All without any comments of your own or quotes from the sites to try to show your intent.
I went to three of them at random:
www.evillusion.net
http://www.darwinthenandnow.com/
http://www.researchgate.net/publica...pigenetic_approach_to_evolution._J_Theor_Biol
All of them are anti evolution.
Why would someone who is "neither for or against evolution" link to articles/websites that are against evolution?
Oh no! That one worked just fine

quit your whining. .
Non evolution sites tend to be less bias.
Evolution sites are 100% bought into the lie of macroevolution.
i think the point has already been made.Regarding posts 211 and 212.
How about addressing my multiple requests regarding the link you posted:
evolutionlist.blogspot.com/2009/11/modern-synthesis-is-dead-long-live.html
I guess I need to try again:
I do not need a link to the article. As I have repeatedly stated I have seen the article. You do not need to post a link to the same article again.
I do need you to refer me to those portions of the article that you believe support whatever point you are trying to make. Alternatively, you can quote some portions of the article that you believe support whatever point you are trying to make.
It really shouldn't be too difficult.
Actually you have that 100% backwards.There's plenty of pro evolution information out there, quit your whining. Non evolution sites tend to be less bias. Evolution sites are 100% bought into the lie of macroevolution.
Do you accept
(1) that the Earth is about 4.54 billion years old;
(2) that life began on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago; and
(3) that every living thing is connected with the earliest living things by an unbroken chain of parents and offspring, that there are no gaps in the lineages?
If you do not accept these three facts...
Not the best of sources. He looks like he is merely a pathologist for hire:
