: Big snip, where you admit that your theory is exactly the same as Darwin's,
: I never said my theory was exactly the same as Darwin's What I did say is that it could easily be confused with evolution as it exists today. But I am saying that is NOT the evolution that exists today. Big difference right there.
Nope. Darwin's theory postulates descent with modification tempered by natural selection. That's all it states. Yours states exactly the same.
: and would be accepted by any scientist familiar with modern-day evolutionary theory, expect for the genetic mechanism for which you admit you have no evidence.
: It most uredly will not be accepted by any scientist familiar with modern-day evolution.
Well, since it is Darwinism, except for your stuff about extra genetic information, it would be accepted by them.
And thereis evidence that more DNA than necessary exists in all beings. Start at the simplest level and examine this yourself. Check out DNA of the ancient algae and protozoans of 3.5 billion years ago, and you might be surprised. I want to know why it's there!
OK. But that has nothing to do with the identity of your theory with Darwin's except for this mechanism which you cannot demonstrate.
: A theory that is almost exclusively Darwinian is not going to make Darwinism obselete.
: Except that is NOT what I am describing.
:
You reject descent with modification tempered by natural selection?
So what was Charlie's contribution?
