re: A Scientific dissent from Darwin

quote:

---

Darwin's theory was wholly based on empirical observation and thus lacking important details. He of course had no knowledge of nucleic acids or genes and genomes, or RNA transcription to proteins. etc. Now we have full understanding of these things, and yet macroevolution is still perplexing. No one has ever seen one creature evolve into something else, nor will they.

I read a book one time that basically decided that during times of calm evolution simply doesnt happen, and during times of cataclysm, and the period after, evolution happens very rapidly to adjust the surviving life to the new world it lives in.
