		Dinosaurs and Evolution Introduction ^Votes:0 Dinosaurs and Evolution Jeff Poling with David Buckna INTRODUCTION Toward the end of 1995, a gentleman by the name of David Buckna submitted an article for inclusion in my Journal of Dinosaur Paleontology. This article questions whether dinosaur fossils support evolution. The article is, in my opinion, full of half-truths and obfuscations designed to confuse the reader. I traded several e-mails with Mr. Buckna, outlining my concerns, in the hope he would rewrite the article with an eye toward facts rather than innuendo. Mr. Buckna never responded to my last e-mail, and never submitted a rewritten article. As this article appeared in a Canadian newspaper (or newspapers), I feel an obligation to publish a response. The following series of 11 web pages consist of an unedited (except for spell Read More Go to Site

		Evolution - A multi-level feedback system ^Votes:0 Catalase Website Index James Techno Evolution Evolution - A multi-level feedback system Pages on Evolution @ www.catalase.com: Darwin Recants Later revision's of Darwin's 'Origins of Species' introduced modifications to his ideas - in order better to explain the rapidity of evolution. Protein Perfection Proteins are molecules of superb design. The chance of a purely random process arriving at any one of them is less than the chance of rolling 300 sixes in succession. We have thousands of these superbly designed molecules coded for in our DNA. Meta Evolution Evolution is able to happen faster than we might otherwise have thought possible. The mechanisms of change in DNA are themselves subject to change. This has a profound effect on the evolutionary process Read More Go to Site

Fossils are recorded in rocks much like your footprints are recorded on a beach. As you walk along the beach, if the sand is fine enough and soft enough, you will make footprints. If the wind and waves do not destroy your footprints, they may record your existance well past your passing. Fossils are "footprints". Against the odds, these records of past life are preserved. In the History of Life, we examine the processes of geology and biology that allow the recording a Read More Go to Site
