“us in the scientific community”?

Are you a scientist? Do you work in the sciences?

No scientific theory is ever “proven” or “unproven”. A theory is either supported by the evidence or the evidence contradicts or adjusts the theory.

You have yet to indicate how the fossil record does anything but support the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.

PE was never suggested as an explanation of or consequence of mutation being more likely for some sequences than others.

Consistent is, as I told you, that all the theories and all the facts have to be coherent. For example, when South America was joined with Africa - as proposed by plate techtonics- we would expect to see wide ranging species of animals that would be found from that time period in both locations. In time periods where South America had drifted away from Africa, we would expect to see different species develop in isolation from each other.

When we see light from a star one hundred million light years away, it is CONSISTENT with the fundamental principles of physics that the light took one hundred million years to get here.

Our measurement of radioisotopic decay is CONSISTENT with the age of the Earth, tree ring data, the historic record.

What you believe and have convinced yourself of is as of much accord as the quality of your posts warrant, and you write like you describe yourself, as a child.

My post have been correct and are acceptable to the evolutionary community to the extent that other scientist would have difficulty placing a label on me. The facts are what they are and the ones I site enjoy agreement in the scientific community. On the other hand your post have been inconsistent and one could identify you as a strong advocate of ID and/or someone that is totally confused about the theory of evolution but none the less wishes to support it.
