:I am not interested in engaging in an edit war. The problem is that I cannot help but see this matter as being driven by your desire to promote your own worldview overriding your desire for a scholarly article. I would be delighted if you could point out the error in my assessment of the situation. I have a genuine wish to see the best quality entries on this site. I am of the view that the inclusion of Maxwell's views on evolution merely confirm in the minds of a substantial number of readers that scholarship takes a back seat to ideology here. And I regret to say, I think that at the moment they are probably right. --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 03:11, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

:: In any case it appears that the assertion that Maxwell rejected Darwin's evolution is incorrect. See [http://www.charlespetzold.com/etc/MaxwellMoleculesAndEvolution.html here].
:: Accordingly, I have removed the reference. I would be happy to discuss the matter further if you would like to do so but the article referred to above seems pretty clear and comprehensive. --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 17:09, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
