Why the “Onion Test” Fails as an Argument for “Junk DNA”

Jonathan McLatchie
November 2, 2011
Evolution
1
The so-called onion test, or indeed the "C-value enigma," is predicated on unsupportable assumptions about the physiological effects of -- and/or requirements for -- larger genomes, many of which are contradicted by the scientific evidence. Read More ›

Fact-Checking Wikipedia on Common Descent: The Evidence from Biogeographical Distribution

Jonathan McLatchie
October 31, 2011
Evolution
1
When the biogeographical data does not fit with the predictions and expectations of common descent, one always has "oceanic dispersal" at the ready to serve as an ad hoc fudge factor -- including the rather remarkable claim that monkeys made it across the Atlantic from Africa to South America!

The fossil record, far from establishing Darwinian theory, only succeeds in hammering one more nail into Darwin's coffin. Read More ›
