> > dhw: In my original post I asked what part of his thesis you were talking about: “[i]Common descent? Natural selection? Or the same old random mutations plus gradualism that you and I have long since agreed to discount[/i]?” So you are indeed back to flogging the dead horse of gradualism. > > > > DAVID: [i]What is it you think is missing from my discussion? The only thing that Darwin proposed that is without question for me is common descent with modification. How modification occurred is still up for grabs. Remember, for all we know God could be doing the genetic modification.[/i] > > > > dhw:So Darwin’s thesis of common descent in fact IS supported by genetic modification. But how it happened is still up for grabs, though you and I agree that however it happened, it would not have been random or gradual. Shake hands on this one? > > No gradualism and we do shake hands on evolution by common descent as Darwin's only real contribution.
