→On Maxwell and Evolution: He seems to disagree with Darwin, based on this quote I dredged up
So does this mean he favored the [[Theory of evolution]], opposed it, or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 13:26, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

: It means that he had no opinion on biological theory of evolution. He just said it had no application to molecules. There is no 'higher' or 'lower' form of a molecule. While they may combine and break apart, this is not evolution any more than the changing state of a three ball billiards game is evolution. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 13:29, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

::I read the quote above as (1) being an opinion on the biological theory of evolution and (2) a repudiation of that theory. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 13:32, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
