THEY JUST PUT A “G” IN ALL THE EMPTY SQUARES; it’s just a matter of faith you know! It’s the same method creationists resort to in trying to prove their unsustainable “intelligent design theory”. They just assume all gaps in current understanding and/or knowledge regarding evolution must be filled with a (G=god) solution. Saves them having to think and question I suppose; blind faith, a refuge for the feeble-minded! caliibre Why can “Creationists” &/or “Intelligent Design” advocates ‘solve’ Sudoku Number Puzzles so quickly?

Although this wouldn't be evolution of humans from early primates or even primates from other animals. It was more like saying you only needed one species per genus, which could diverge into other species of the same genus. The genera themselves would still have been created directly by God, I guess.

I know PBS is American, but I always thought it was a little smarter than that. <blockquote>Don't worry about overcrowding though---he only had to take two of each type of animal, and they all diverged after the flood, presumably in an orgy of species differentiation...</blockquote> Does this mean he accepts evolution by natural selection? Of course, in much shorter timescales than is feasible. I was disappointed to see a program on PBS recently making similar claims.
