Environmentally forced evolution is plausible and happens on the 'micro' scale but the scale of macro evolution is still beyond what mutation and natural selection can accomplish. Yeah, I know, lots of tiny changes over time. I've baked that into my conclusion as well.
Thats sad that you deny and avoid the scientific literature. The "micro" v "MAcro" evolution argument is just plain lame and void of any common sense. Its merely a ploy by the IDers to deny the entire museum of evidence from the fossil record and the vast expanse of time.
As far as the origin of life, the evidence seems to support what I sid as opposed to "intelligence" WE can LOOK for evidence of the origins of life and then test some of them in a lab. You cant do that with ID its just there . It requires a leap of faith, not any discovery.
SCience has changed its directions in understanding life ascendency. Its accomplished by "Wide swings" of discovery the period of which are getting ever nd ever finer.
ID is totally based on a statement of incredulity ."Life is too complex to have risen without intelligence"
Qs I said, I really dont care what you believe, just dont try to push it into school science curricula , unless its a career path in legerdemain.
