Some day when I'm old and retarded, I'm going to become an ID theorist because you don't have to work very hard at it.  A case in point:

From the James Shapiro Responds to Douggy Axe thread:

vh: The other problem is that all creatures have these internal capabilities, thus making individuals evolve. Darwinism says only populations evolve.


Ah, but Axe and Gauger aren't going to take that laying down!

Axe: I can make this point most clearly with a concrete example. We can go into the lab and modify bacterial cells by deleting the entire set of genes dedicated to the synthesis of tryptophan, one of the essential building blocks of proteins. When we observe what happens when these modified cells are given just enough tryptophan to grow and reproduce, we will see lots of things happening, but none that can be expected to reinvent a set of genes for making tryptophan, even in a large population over billions of years.
You mean you watched that experiment for billions of years?  Or are you bullshitting us?
Axe and Gauger Challenge Shapiro...

F/N A few months ago, Shapiro was Denyse's fair-haired boy and she was highly recommending his "anti-Darwin" book.  How times change.

So Axe looks at it for 35 seconds and declares it can't happen.

Lenski observes it for 25 years and notices that it does happen.

Me thinks Axe doesn't know how to do science.

P.S. Names for this new Website?  "ID Done Right" ?
