Well isn't that the Yanks all over? My Grandad told me the same thing about 1944. They turned up in posher coats and fucked all the birds then too.

Y'all furriners ain't the onliest ones with exotics problems. Damn Russkies exported their Caspian Sea zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) to the US a while back - snuck it in in the ballast water of one of their freighters. 20 some-odd years later, of the 78 species of fresh water mollusc in the Great Lakes and Ohio River systems, 19 are extinct, and 29 are endangered. Thank you Russia.

Since scigirl doesn't have the time to post in the debate until May or June, and in view of Douglas' earlier long absence, I have decided to close their debate thread (in consultation with the Admins, and after emailing both scigirl and Douglas).

If anyone else want to enter into a debate with Douglas, just get in touch with him directly.

Thanks, but I'm far too busy watching paint dry.

&lt;name deleted&gt;, in the debate between myself and scigirl, in all honesty I would say that I was "winning". And, she was requiring that I prove that there was some mechanism which would prevent micro-evolution from "becoming" macro-evolution, when actually the burden was upon her to prove that micro-evolution could "become" macro-evolution. Something she never did. And I've since found some sources which provide strong reasons for concluding that micro-evolution could not "become" macro-evolution. In any case, I did find that scigirl had some difficulty arriving at correct inferences, especially in regard to some things I had said.

MY incorrect inferences? He doesn't even accept scientific evidence because experiments are *designed* by scientists!

I thought you'd find it amusing, scigirl.

BTW, I read that you are going to med school? and finished your thesis? My (belated) congratulations!

Allegedly overheard through a room door at my university:

"SUCK DON'T BLOW! I don't care WHAT it's called!"

I once heard "suck up, blow down"...
