This is a long video, but you and others need to watch it. Your willful ignorance is always in the way.

This sort of erroneous malice just spoils productive conversation. Just stop. We're all obviously looking for answers, so there's no reason to treat us like an enemy. Cordial discussion can be much more productive.

When you don't respond to the real science, that's willful ignorance. Watch the video. I thought you would be particularly interested on his take on randomness - not that he disagrees with you, but he explains how it fits in with the larger picture of complexity.

I don't mean to insult - I really don't. You're smart and I know you like science. But you have to understand that I can't simply go along with the "magic wand" theory without evidence. That's what science is all about - discovery and evidence. That's it.

I will check out the video when I get a chance. I do think all of this back and forth has been productive.. being challenged to look into the intricaciesof all sorts of biological concepts has been good. We all will come out better due to these discussions and I appreciate all the time you and the others have spent debating these topics

Yes, I agree. And we can be civil about it.
