It would hard to imagine rejecting evolution of species without somehow forgetting everything we have learned about the evolution of cancer. Jonathan Wells thinks otherwise: A rough analogy would be to compare the rusting of steel with the smelting of iron ore. We see the same chemical pattern, namely, the inter-conversion of iron and iron oxide. Rusting converts iron to iron oxide, and Read More ›
