Ducked? No, sir. I supported my “no sane biologist...” claim with a particular excerpt from the UBerkeley page (initially used as evidence by YOUR side) that clearly states that they consider the existence of self-replicating systems mandatory for natural selection to occur. CONTRARY to the initial metmom’s claims, contrary to the reason for GGG to initiate this thread, and contrary to your current spinning and twisting the truth.
You ignored your claim, treated it like poison ivy in fact, until I refused to allow you to get away with it. At that point you reverted to your quote, and tried to fit it to everything. But it shows Berkeley to be, at best, self contradictory, in light of its conflicting website quotes provided by me. Try as you might, you can’t put enough lipstick on that pig.
But . . . if that’s the best you can do . . .
