That would be the one and only Lynn Margulis who illustrates just how far an evolutionist can go, but no further.

It seem strange to laud someone for stating the obvious, but that’s evolution for you. Margulis also recounts how evolutionists denigrated her for coming too close to the hypothesis of acquired characteristics—another example of how evolution has harmed science. Read more
