That's certainly food for thought Micah and thankyou for posting the information.

One question I would like to ask, can an entry be subsequently edited? (er, assuming  that it is accepted in the first place of course). I wouldn't want to make a submission only to think a few days later that I could've done better!

Subject: Re: [evomech] Predictive Theories

Hi Warren,

Well I certainly am interested in the both the development and (especially) the testing  of any evolutionary mechanism. In the current Intelligent Design/Evolution controversy, for example, I continue to find it interesting that whereas some people see 'Irreducible Complexity' as evidence of an external 'Designer' (or whatever) a chap called Grasse (Grassé)  saw it as evidence of 'Internal Factors' -  I posted a message on it  some time ago:

 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/evomech/message/40

Can't help feeling frustrated from time to time over the lack of resources to test the particular mechanism I'm interested in though :(

And in an effort to be less self-centered, are there any specific 'hard science predictive theories' you had in mind?
