Design is the third rail of evolutionary biology. :eek:
I think you are totally right on this.

It's obvious, clearly understood by experts and makes the other two rails useful.

That's what you were trying to say, right? ;)

Without the third rail the other two are useless. ;)

I'm really not following what you are trying to get across with this analogy.

Because it seems to be that you area implying that evolution is foundational to the modern study of biology... which, while true, is very unlike your usual attitude.

The third rail is belief/creation/design. With it comes the moral imperative to "dress and keep" the environment. Without it science has brought the environment to the brink of destruction (all the while cleverly decrying the very destruction it has wrought).

Except... it hasn't really. Politics and money has been the leading cause for the environment being wrecked, not science.

No real need to discuss something that is as obvious as design in anatomy. Take the eye for instance. The way I see it (pun intended) is that the only question is...who or what designed it.

I have read some Gray's and conclude that design is demonstrated by function.
It is so precious how someone that has all but admitted ignorance in a subject nevertheless feels compelled to pontificate on it.

Biology is one thing. Evolutionary biology is another.
Shame you are ignorant of both, yet unable to understand your shortcomings. The Dunning-Kruger effect, I think it is called. For example, evolutionary biology has nothing to do with understanding the basic functions of neurons and the nervous system, yet you face-planted on that issue pretty majorly a while back. It seems to be more common than average among creationists with engineering-related backgrounds.

I admit that I'm a person of low ability. What more do you want?

Science has provided the wrecking ball.

No, they didn't. Science provided the industry. Corporations, politicians and green turned it into a wrecking ball.
Science is a neutral entity.

And yet you repeatedly refuse to admit error, and continually imply that you mere (refuted) opinions are correct.

Funny how that works.

I hope others can apply that to gun manufacturers as well.
