Scientists Discover Proteins Controlling Evolution

Khemisty writes "Evolutionary changes are supposed to take place gradually and randomly, under pressure from natural selection. But a team of Princeton scientists investigating a group of proteins that help cells burn energy stumbled across evidence that this is not how evolution works. In fact, their discovery could revolutionize the way we understand evolutionary processes. They have evidence that organisms actually have the ability to control their own evolution."

    talk about being a total troll. keep your bigotry to yourself.

    Nah ... Creationists are fair game here on Slashdot. Matter of fact, they're fair game, period.

    The GP is correct to lump all creationists together into one stereotype and here is why:

    If you are a creationist then you believe the Bible is the word of God and God is never wrong. If you believe the Bible is the word of God and God is never wrong then you must believe the world is ~7000 years old as Deutoronomy and Numbers specifically lay things out.

    If you are a creationist and do not believe the world is ~7000 years old then you (perhaps unconsciously) reject the Bible as the word of God / reject God as 100% right.

    It is Christianity that establishes the dichotomy, not the GP. You cannot walk the fence on this issue and expect anyone to take you seriously as a rational human being.

    I don't get it. Creationists are wrong? I was sure dinosaurs were there to test our faith.
