Evolution
Meet Ma and Pa
As the Daily Mail and others are reporting, a geneticist in Georgia contends as a scientific proposition that man descended from pigs as well as chimp-like apes (“‘Humans evolved after a female chimpanzee mated with a pig’: Extraordinary claim made by American geneticist“). Since his is only a variation on Darwinian theory, not a repudiation of it, Dr. Eugene McCarthy’s notion is to be treated with professional respect. His work is to be covered seriously.
Now, if his speculation were deeper and dealt with the increasingly daunting problems with Darwinian theory and with the growing evidence of intelligent design, he would have to be ignored or attacked for positions he does not hold.
