"[[Eugenie Scott, the director of the National Center for Science Education, will speak about issues involving evolution on Dec. 4 and 5 at the University of Louisville.
Scott’s organization, the National Center for Science Education, defends the teaching of evolution in public schools.]]"

"[[She is the author of “Evolution vs. Creationism” and co-editor of “Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools.”]]"

"Intelligent" falls into many "kinds" of intelligences...!
"Evolution" falls into what "intelligence" do you have...!,
or does "Mother Nature" have...?!

February 2009 marks Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday and heralds the 150th anniversary of the first publication of The Origin of Species.

It is amazing how Darwinism has become the only accepted Science...!
If Darwin could know this, he most certainly would be amused...!
As it amuses me more, what Evolution is, and what Atheism is...!

Flexibility Trumps Fitness In Sexual Reproduction, Says New Theory In Evolutionary Biology

ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2008)

"[["We were trying to figure out why an algorithm that mimics a good idea in nature was not coming up with better results," said Papadimitriou. "It dawned on us that what sexual reproduction is doing is not maximizing fitness, but doing something more subtle. It is bringing about genetic variants that perform well across many possibilities in connection with a great variety of genetic partners. If a particular gene variant can do well with many other alleles, not just a highly specialized variant, evolution is advanced."

The researchers noted that when the human genome was sequenced in 2003, there was some surprise that humans did not possess far more genes than other species. It turns out that how those genes are combined may be a critical factor in distinguishing humans from other species, supporting the importance of flexibility over fitness.

Feldman, who has studied the evolution of sex and recombination for more than three decades, said he expects this new theory to trigger much debate among his peers. "This problem of understanding sex will go on being one of the central issues in evolution," he said.

The Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science, National Science Foundation, the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the National Institutes of Health helped support this work.]]"

If you knew and understood the problems and thus central issues in evolution, you would know a bit more...!
