Crikey!
No, it describes evolution. But by all means, please elaborate.
~grin~
Thank you.
Nothing specifically supports it.
~grin~
So I'm right then?
Good post.
The Gods must be crazy. :’)
Right about what, precisely?
Since T. Rex is now considered to be a type of chicken, does that mean they had feathers?
Maybe they're still big
but the rest of the cosmos
has gotten bigger!
““Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.” Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France”
I think you’ll find Bounoure did not say that, nor for that matter was he ever ‘Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France’ nor was he even a member.
He was a professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg.
Jean Rostand’s actual quotation was “Transformism is a fairy tale for adults.” and is actually a rebuttal of Lamarkian evolution (traits aquired during a organisms lifetime are passed as genetic legacy to the offspring)of which Transformism is a cornerstone.
Why if you feel the case againsts evolution is so strong do you feel the need to fabricate quotations and attribute them to whomsoever you feel best supports your cause?
I was being sarcastic.
There's a Helen Thomas joke in there somewhere...
Except you didn’t provide source at all for the Bounoure quote, which is understandable since there is no direct source for this statement from him.
What you actually provide source for is Jean Rostand whose precise quotation is as follows: “Transformism is a fairy tale for adults.” (Age Nouveau, [a French periodical] February 1959, p. 12).
And what do you know a search of the CRNS website (http://www.cnrs.fr/index.html)reveals no mention of Bounoure rather stange if he was once head honco don’t you think?
and here is a list of the Director Generals:
Jean Coulomb : 1957-1962
Hubert Curien : 1969-1973
Robert Chabbal : 1976-1980
François Kourilsky : 1988 - 1994
Guy Aubert : 1994 - 1997
Catherine Bréchignac : 1997 - 2000
Geneviève Berger : 2000 - 2003
Bernard Larrouturou : 2003- 2006
Arnold Migus : 2006-
Bounoure is rather conspicuous by his absence, what?
