Obama's Pot-Smoking Detailed
Juror Flirting With John Edwards
(Dec. 14) --Change happens... ...often more quickly than one can imagine.
Two University of Pennsylvania professors say their new reserach undercuts a longstanding critique of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evloution. Herbert Wilf, emeritus professor of mathematics, and Warren Ewens, emeritus professor of biology, say that they have created a new mathematical model that directly disproves the notion that "evolution couldn't have happened because the small changes in species outlined by the theory simply would have taken too much time to be completed."
In their paper, which is titled "There's Plenty of Time for Evolution," Wilf and Ewens say that changes atributed natural selection require far less time to occur than previously thought.
Pushed by groups like the Discovery Institute, a central argument against Darwin's theory is that the presumed timeline for evolutionalry change is too short to account for the number of genetic mutations posited by the Theory of Evolution.
