As far my own view of evolution is concerned, I firmly believe in Darwin’s theory of common descent and in the process of Natural Selection as I have defined it. Current areas of dispute, as I see them, include his insistence on gradualism (I would opt for Gould’s punctuated equilibrium), and the mechanisms that lead to change, with the possibility that epigenetics may play a far greater role than random mutations.

Right on!!!

Sadly, Matt, I think Abel has given up on us, so I doubt if you’ll get a reply from him on the ID thread.

He might reappear. We have given him full disclosure time, and I was willing to study his slides.
