Yeah, that actress is part of the BSG cast. But it took me a couple episodes to figure that out, she looks surprisingly different with blonde hair.

Yeah, I suppose. I was missing BSG.

Sorry, I blacked out halfway through the OP. If I get the jist of it right, it's something along the lines of "evolution doesn't meet my philosophical expectations/emotional desires, therefore evolution is wrong", correct?

Sort of. The development of technology has no doubt hampered the ability of natural selection in humans, because humans can much more quickly use technology to meet needs rather than waiting for a needed genetic change, but humans can and do still adapt to the ever-changing environment, most...

Well, actually lots of beneficial mutations have been detected. Don't know if you'd consider them "macro" or even what you mean by the term. There are quite a few observed instances of speciation.

Laws refer to mathematical relationships regarding matter or a generalization of the physical behavior of matter. Since you brought up Netwon, F=ma is a good example of a scientific law. On the other hand, a scientific theory acts as a model, it makes generalizations about observations and...
