I can't see how I can suddenly be almost anywhere since I haven't changed my position on these things an iota in years.

Yes Linda, evolution draws it's information and ideas from many sources, even some you haven't included here. But it's not a back and forth thing. It's just evolution sucking from other fields all the time but never contributing anything. Evolutionary theories change over the years as other fields of science, genetics/biology especially, undoubteldly prove that currently held ideas about evolution are undoubtedly wrong. Evolution never proves itself wrong. In itself, it's infalliable, you cannot prove something wrong if it's never been proven right to begin with. It's just always a big 'IF'.

All other fields of science exist quite well without the theory of evolution. There is some question as to whether or not evolutionary theories are actually beneficial to progress in other fields however. It's actually often a stumbling block to truth.... for instance... if the theories that we know today that have been proven undoubtedly wrong in the past half century had never existed then people would had never been taught them, possibly wasting decades of their lives on the wrong paths.
