I tend to agree that macro-evolution (a theory) can not be proven as fact. The key item is life and intelligence. We do not know how these items evolve (or if...

Ray Charles song: I can't stop loving you, was my favorite during my high school years (1958-61). In fact, it is still one of my favorites. What a great...

MessageDon, I'm not politely avoiding the issue. I'm only taking into account the fact that discussions of countless generations could not resolve it. The...
Damir: I think the issue can be resolved by "reverse" logic. The question of whether "talent" is inherent or derived can be resolved. If "talent" is not...
