Quote | February 14, 2006 Nuclear Evolution Debate
This page is for an as-yet-to-be-named person from Panda’s Thumb to present all the evidence, predictions, and repeatable tests that neoDarwinian theory has to support the hypothesis of random mutation + natural selection being the mechanism underlying the evolution of the eukaryote nucleus from a prokaryote ancestor. “Whoever” will then fisk the presentation in an attempt to show that NDE’s claim is entirely vacuous. I don’t expect there will be any volunteers from Panda’s Thumb and that’s okay too because it will show they can’t even begin to make a reasonable argument in support of a neoDarwinian mechanism for this crucial event in the evolution of life.
The challenge was made here. Filed under: Intelligent Design — Administrator @ 11:50 am | The nucleus challenge is just a request to fill a certain gap. Young Earth Creationist Henry Morris, in 1974, said the same thing about the "gap" between vertebrates and invertebrates. The front page of Uncommon Descent is therefore a micromutated creationist argument from 30 years ago.
Furthermore, here are some Creation Science websites where creationists argue that a prokaryote could not have led to an eukaryote:

Thanks, Uncommon Pissants, for helping demonstrate that Intelligent Design = Creationism.
