7 Animals that are Evolving Right Before Our Eyes

You didn’t ever say it, but your post implied it. When you pointed at small changes in gene frequency and expression that are actually moving downhill from an information perspective and claimed that somehow added merit to common descent which requires uphill changes it gives me an inkling that you really don’t know how these things work. Even if you could point to natural selection increasing information in the genetic code of the organism it was acting on it still would not validate common descent because the logical structure of the argument is fallacious as I already pointed out earlier.
You should also know that science is not based on majority or consensus, so appealing to it means nothing. I actually found out when I was doing some post graduate work with a couple of my biology professors that many of them are not nearly as confident in the theory when they are just having a casual conversation. A person is just not allowed to question the theory anymore which of course is never a good thing.

I think this quote says it all,

“In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America you can criticize the government, but not Darwin.”
- Jun-Yuan Chen Research Professor Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology

I never even made an appeal to authority, much less a fallacious one. Someone said I was un-educated in the field of evolutionary biology, so I demonstrated that I had actually received more education in that field than probably any other besides Ecology.
