[QUOTE="tas8831, post: 71716222, member: 397968"] Davison was, as sfs indicates, a crackpot. He apparently suffered some sort of major family trauma (death of a child? Not sure) in the mid-1980s, and after a several year lack of activity, started churning out angry anti-Darwin essays based primarily on the rantings of people like PP Grasse. I spent time - too much time - debating Davison on several forums, and in the end, the ONLY actual evidence he could produce was that in some rare cases in 1 kind of turkey, they sometimes are able to engage in parthenogenesis. That and his claim that because mutations occur instantaneously, evolution is instantaneous and that 1 new organism = speciation. If you found his claims compelling, then perhaps it was you that was doing the skimming? I am curious, though - in all the 100s of others that you have read over the past 3 decades, how many of them presented actual evidence for Intelligent Design or Creation? Please keep in mind, that rejecting evolution, bible verses, claims that evolution 'cannot explain this', etc., is not evidence. And these scientists that you have read and talked to - how many agreed that some 'intelligent designer' - that also happens to be the Christian deity - created information and stuck it into DNA?
