Help me with something momentarily if you would CTD.. I am struggling with an item In order to follow the suspicious agenda money trail.

My question is, can you name one or two major, they have to be major, items/areas where Dawrin's research unarguably contibutes to current biological research/genetic research? Not theories, solid science, facts, items that without which (valid) modern biological sciences would truly fail.

Linda keeps mentioning ontogeny, hope I spelled that right, but I don't buy ontogeny and absorbed whale limbs as conclusive evidence of evolution of any sort. A caterpillar becomes a butterfly and yet there is no hint of wings or even the butterfly itself within the caterpillar, the butterfly is not an evolved caterpillar. Hidden parts, absorbed parts, meaningless as evidence of evolution to me. Simply parts of a process.

Phylogeny, the tree of life item, I do believe that is phylogeny, correct me if I am wrong... utter nonsense. I view the idea more as a secular explanation/replacement of the biblical 'tree of life' to an ignorant 5th grader, loudly bespeaking Huxley's influence. Not sure that is darwinian anyway but it gets mentioned enough. It is definitely Huxley's 'replacement' theology though his name may not be on it directly.

So much of Darwin's work, research, is not original but simply notes, details and observations, but without an exhaustive review of biological sciences who is and whats between 1870-1930 or so I am a bit lost. Two really really important items, is all I need, that prove darwin's reputation is worth the gold ascribed to it by people like Linda and Linear. One item... eh not so sure, surely there are many more scientists and researchers who have contributed more.

anyway it is late but if I don't ask now while the questions are there I will forget by tomorrow afternoon.

Because as usual the only thing I can find that keeps sticking it's head up is racism and eugenics as to why so many people jumped on the darwinian band wagon as the Civil Biology textbook testifies. I would like to see some real truly important beneficial scientific contributions if you know of any. Not items darwin noted or wrote about that were already known, that does not count as his own.
