Shattering the Myths of Darwinism Part 1



This week's podcast will be a discussion and criticism of the claims made within Richard Milton's book Shattering the Myths of Darwinism". The claims covered in this week's episode deal with abiogenesis, the geologic column, and polystrate fossils.

Shattering the Myths of Darwinism Part 1

EDIT: I had made the podcast before I received a reply about the Geologic Column from the USGS. Today I received a response which confirmed what I had said in the podcast: the complete geologic column depends on the presence of the layers, and NOT the thickness of the sediment because the thickness will be different in places with different sedimentation rates.

*note, their claim was disproven by the USGS, as I discovered via e-mail this morning.

No congestion here; healthy old me. Sometimes I sound a bit nasally, dunno why. I didn't notice it.

Well, it was only in the beginning than you got better. You seem to get better with time.
