Ringer Points Out the Obvious: Evolution As Commonly Understood Simply Doesn't Work

SEE HERE This is fun! The truth of the matter is that while there is some evidence for natural selection (quite a lot if you admit animal husbandry into the mix) there is virtually no evidence for evolution of species. This has and continues to be the dirty little secret in biology. It's played a little like a shell game. You show all this evidence for natural selection and then just shift into belief mode in a total evolutionary picture of species evolution. The problem is that it fails the "Where's the data?" test. Sorry, science isn't allowed leaps of faith. We leave that to the folks reading religious revelation that need to exercise at least the leap of faith that it is truly revelation. Ringer does a pretty nice job of showing how completely lunatic it really is using the monkeys typing Shakespeare analogy. It goes down hill from there frankly. There is a ton of evidence that the structure of life in beyond a progressive complexification model that depends on a continuous chain of favorable mutations. Doesn't work for anything.
