TOM:
I'm surprised you say that Ed.  I have to believe that we're not 
understanding each other here.  To say that the "ruling" body of science 
is not fiercly opposed to any work which points to design is I think 
impossible to refute.  Just trying to get professors for an interview on 
bio-chemistry is an impossible task when they find out I believe in 
special creation -- and that's not young earth fundamentalism.  

While I must fairly state that neither of my degrees are in science, 
neither my formal education nor my informal study has produced any 
definitive evidence for macro evolution which doesn't have 
insurmountable hurdles to overcome *at this time*.  If the hurdles are 
overcome in the future, then evidence will begin to mount.  Otherwise, I 
have not seen any evidence to date to support a theory of macro 
evolution.

If you could offer one at a time I will try to address them.

peace.
