4. Unfortunately, it betrays a number of misunderstandings
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 11:07 AM by HereSince1628
of biology and the nature of the evolution debate.

I encourage people to read about viral inheritance before they go on and on about "mutating" viruses.

Moreover, creationist accept mutation. The creationist intellectuals that drive the movement accept every known mechanism of microevolution. What they don't accept is that the macroevolutionary event evolutionists call speciation, isn't directed by a creator.

If you are talking to a rw'er who knows only as much biology as this guy it might work. But if you are talking to a well read creationist you'd end up revealling you understood neither biology nor the creationist position.

In short you could end up looking dumb.
