I don't see what [[molecular biology]] has to do with [[evolution]]. In science, assertions and assumptions don't count. We need facts, and once we have them we can find out whether they confirm or contradict our theories. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 11:16, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

:Ed, molecular biology studies the base mechanisms for phenotypical change. If you look at evolution with a reductionism mindset (which science does) you have to seek out the causes. Molecular biologists do just that with our field of study. When we discover mechanisms that allow for change in the genome that contributes to evolutionary theory. When we find conserved sequences in differencing species that contributes to evolutionary theory. That is what molecular biology has to do with evolution.
:I am a bit unclear what you meant with "In science, assertions and assumptions don't count." were you addressing my explanation of variance in genomic material? If so the processes I listed above have been observed and documented, you will find them easily in any molecular text or lab manual for biotechnologists, we have to keep them in mind while working or our research can get messy Lol.--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 11:34, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
