In  a  religious  discussion saying that something is old is besides the
point.  Quoting  outdated  scientific  discussions  out  of  context  is
deliberately  misleading.   Thirty five years ago (from whence come most
of Mr. Kukik's references) scientists were still arguing  about  whether
hereditary  information  was  encoded  in DNA or protein.  Many of these
citations are attempts at explaining the data  available  at  that  time
from  such  sources  as  breeding experiments and paleontology.  Some of
them  refer  to  problems  that  subsequently  proved  to  have  trivial
solutions.   In  all of the areas covered by this list there has been an
increase in both the amount of observation that has been done and in the
sophistication  of  scientific thought applied to the problem.  They are
thus not merely old, they are outdated.

SCIENCE LIVES!
