Evolution: the Facts.

Well, I've tried to repair my other faults, but there is no one rule as to the usage of single or double quotes, so I shall do it the way I do it and anyone who doesn't like it can get off their pedantic arses and research and write a soddin' article of their own.

I am grateful for the input, but I have to draw the line somewhere, and this is it.

Haven't you got anything better to do than write an increasingly cohesive, comprehensive and fascinating series of factual articles on interesting subjects?

Sheesh!


:p

Again, I'm getting ahead of myself. This should go at the start of the section on stratigraphy, which should come after the section on plate tectonics, which I shouldn't start writing until I've finished writing about depositional environments.

I am very bad and should be punished. Still ... enjoy.
 
Though I'm wondering now if I should have stuck to my practice of ignoring creationists in the main articles. I can, after all, explain why actualism is right without stooping to consider their whining.

And some good news ... the lovely, lovely people at the University of North Carolina have given me permission to use some photomicrographs from their Atlas of Rocks. Finding the stuff I need in the public domain has proved impossible, so this is very nice of them.
 
Dr A and six7s, thanks for all the time spent on this, facinating, i just got here and well, didn't quite realise what you where up to, good stuff thanks...

Ah, thank you.

OK, some more stuff.

* A piece on [swiki]Werner Gitt[/swiki]. YOu probably don't need to read this unless you come across some creationist citing his rubbish as though it was science.

* A piece on [swiki]Saltation[/swiki]. This doesn't happen, but it's interesting to know why.

* And a piece on [swiki]Creationists versus the Scientific Method[/swiki].
 
The Saltation piece seems to go from a definite "never" to a "hardly ever". And the definition of what constitutes a saltation is tweaked. I found that confusing.
 
From the saltation article:

:( We also know of mechanisms such a polyploid mutation

:) We also know of mechanisms such as polyploid mutation


From this article I followed a link to Reproductive isolation, where I found this:

Hybrid sterility: Hybrids may be viable, but unable themselves to reproduce, as is the case with mules (horse-donkey crosses).

I thought there were some confirmed cases of mules having offspring, but I do not have a source.

I believe you're right: I could stick an (almost always) in there.
