Grasse is known for so many things I wouldn't even be able to begin to enumerate them. One of the reasons I continue to participate in forums such as this one is to provide proof positive for future students of evolution that Darwinists are constitutionally unable to abandon their failed hypothesis in the face of an ever increasing body of evidence that renders it unacceptable. I have made my predictions. I now wait for the Darwinians to provide theirs, if they can. If you don't think I have put my ideas up for evaluation you have read none of my published papers. I have explained this before. I, like my predecessors who provided the basis for my work, simply do not exist. In Engle's appropriate term, we have been "nobodyized" by the evolutionary (Darwinian) establishment.

Just put up one or two of the things that Grasse is known for. I know he wrote some book, because creationist keep quote mining it, but what is he known for? I just looked at the old textbook that was used for the class that I took as a graduate student. Evolutionary Biology by Futuyma, 1979 and he doesn't cite Grasse in the list of references in the back of the book, so I am not misremembering not hearing about him.

You have one advantage over the vapor ID theories but if you never put your ideas up for evaluation it doesn't matter. You can get a lot of stuff published in one journal or another. Your success should tell everyone else something about the lack of the publication success of ID. Put your ideas on the line and try and get funding. Don't just complain about it, submit it.

Just repeating your mantra about Darwinism will not do you any good.

Futuyama is the consummate Darwinian.

"Study Nature Not Books"
Louis Agassiz, who incidentally was no Darwinian.

At my age, I am not interested in getting funded. I might not be around to use it. Besides I am having too much fun capitalizing on a sure thing. In the meantime why don't you just leave me to my fantasizing as I leave you to yours?

Ron, why is this such an issue? Why do you not just go to a search angine and do a search on Pierre-Paul Grasse, as I did?
