Hi Russ

People who cannot see that the mathematical probabilities of symmetry occurring through evolutionary processes is absurd, cannot be helped.

Or, more probably I would suggest, they actually understand a little basic genetics and they know that evolution does not independently generate symmetrical body parts by two separate pieces of DNA. Maybe they understand how the HOX complex and it’s like works to mirror the one piece of genetic code into two like body parts mirror images of each other. Had that possibility occurred to you Russ? I’m sure sniping at people’s ignorance is fun but it would probably work better if you understood what it was you were talking about Russ.

Of course it’s also interesting to observe the instances of Convergent evolution which shows that nature is in fact capable of generating like parts in fact entire, virtually identical yet unrelated organisms have evolved by this means not just symmetrical parts on one organism. Even if you can’t understand or accept this Russ it has been observed in nature. How does that old saying go “Nature is cleverer that you think”.

In Reason
