Thanks CTD for the extra effort, I know it weighs hard on you to deal with all the requests for evidence.

Double wrong. I never said tanned skin or muscular development were hereditary.

And I did explain the mechanisms which would be involved if they were.
Nor did I say your had. What I said was that there still was no evidence for it, and that it seems Russ was being deceptive. I noted that you had supported him, made some ad hoc remarks that amounted to hand waving ("very complex") and that you remained skeptical of any claims that it was not hereditary (actually just skeptical of any argument contrary to Russ's deception).

Actually I did explain this, and I'm working on making it even more clear than I already have.
I'm sure biologists are waiting impatiently for this explanation that contradicts what has been observed under microscopes.

Russell2 mentioned that the mechanics are different for diploid & non-diploid cells. Can we expect infighting any time soon?
Yes it will be interesting to see how you deal with real information.

So what?
So tanned skin is not an adaptation. Nor is muscular development an adaptation. They are acquired traits.

Ah yes, this issue I said I was done discussing. What am I supposed to do, continue on and just play 'who can get the last post'?
So you agree that there are colonial organisms that display integrated behavior and share tasks. Good.

Your response indicates it isn't a red herring at all. Indeed, you fault me for not discussing it enough! See?

All complaints that I need to discuss recombination further. Neither your actions nor the tenets of your religion are consistent with recombination being a red herring.
Curiously that does not keep if from being a red herring to the previous discussion. It appears to be your standard operating procedure, when discussing {A} introduce topic {B}, then before fully discussing {B} introduce topic {C}, and you never get around to completing a single discussion.

Well, those who were following will recall that you still haven't answered your own question.
What, I haven't answered something that you claim is my own question without any reference to what that question is? Shocking behavior. (issues three slaps on the wrist).

Enjoy.
