Re: Att: Lone Ranger. Hemoglobin evolution!
I don't have time to take a closer look right now, I'm afraid, but I'll make a quick note: anyone who thinks that evolutionary theory is a theory that things evolve by chance has demonstrated that they understand nothing of evolutionary theory, and I'm not certain it's even possible to have a discussion with someone so utterly ignorant of the subject matter.
Certainly, Asimov was in no way making such a claim. Speaking of which, has he brought up the "2nd Law of Thermodynamics" argument yet? That's a hoary old chestnut that only the most truly ignorant of creationists trot out.
As Isaac Asimov himself noted, "Anyone who thinks that evolution is impossible because it violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is demonstrating a kindergartener's understanding of thermodynamics [and evolution]."
