Otangelo Grasso: I am looking for comments, if my conclusion is sound, that evolution cannot be a theory. It cannot be tested, on how natural selection influences differential reproduction and the fitness landscape. Is there evidence for natural selection? Read More ›

Is this a fair definition? Thanks.
