Quote:I agree. I didn't start this thread to discuss evolution vs. intelligent design, but to check on some problems in the proposed evolutionary model for the bacteria flagellum. Some folks feel quite defensive if anyone brings up any issues with evolution even though we are all suppose to be skeptics, aren't we?This is not an "issue for evolution". If the bacterial flag was actually created by an alien waffle 70 years ago to spoof us, it won't change anything else. That's the point I'm trying to convey. Sometimes, the legit answer to a question is "we don;t know" and when it comes to bacterial evo from billions of years ago...until we invent a time machine...-that's going to be the answer. In this sort of case, it's not -just- that we don't know, but that we can't even conceive of how we might know.
