::: Um, what? I'm a bit of a mathy person and have some background in genetics as well, and the above doesn't seem to be anything but an assertion dressed up in mathematical terminology. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 14:06, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Which part is unclear?  The statements concerning the fossil record and crossbreeding within a species are simple, factual observations.  If the argument concernig rate of change in units of Darwins is not based on a linear function, what is it based on?  And to clarify- by saying that Change approaches a horizontal assymptote, I mean that change continues over time, but becomes infinitely small and and never exceeds a fixed point.  The dog may, through natural reproduction, become another kind of dog.  But observation tells us that it will never sprout wings and become a bird.

#*'''Counter:''' Despite a century of teaching evolution in American schools, the majority of Americans still reject it.  The burden of proof is on the evolutionists, and the proof just isn't there.  Darwinists would be better off looking for another theory to try to replace Christianity.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:54, 21 December 2006 (EST)
