Random Quote
(Complete listing)…anyone who writes about "Darwin's theory of evolution" in the singular, without segregating the theories of gradual evolution, common descent, speciation, and the mechanism of natural selection, will be quite unable to discuss the subject competently.

Sweet, I finally made it into the tangled bank. This is a proud day for me!

Wow, so the transfer of the transposon Charlie brings up was detected by its break from the far more typical pattern of vertical transmission and modification of genes, which leads the cognitively-deficient Wagner to conclude that darwinian mechanisms are not responsible for the rest of evolution.
By the way, I blogged about this, well over a week ago.
I'll just copy the reference below, in case PZ saves Charlie the embarrassment of revealing his own inability to think, by deleting yet another colossal failure by Charlie:
Of course it wouldn't make news, or scientific publication (except possibly in a quite obscure journal), if lateral transmission were at all normal in most animals. But Charlie only writes stupid shit, rarely understanding the implications of his quotes and statements. Of course, if he could think, he wouldn't be arguing against science.

Firefox isn't your problem, must be your connection or something else. I'm on firefox, and I got no problems.
