What do you expect from webTV (with very few exceptions)? That, and
as a rule of thumb, anyone who quotes some webby twit as some sort of
authority isn't too bright either.

All right, now please tell WHAT HAPPENED instead of what never happened!
There are such an immense number of things that never happened; you'd never
even scratch the surface with things that didn't happen. Do you understand
that? So you know of anything, anyuthing at all that has happened that you
would like to tell us about? We would be very much obliget to you if you
did.
We are sooooo tired of all the time being told about things that didn't
happen, we already have Ray Martinez and Tony Pagano dedicated to that
purpose; surely you could find something more useful to do with your time?
Like polishing your toenails. Just a friendly suggestion.

What would constitute evolving then if not speciation, adaptive
radiation, the accumulation of beneficial mutations, etc...?

Other then the gradual change recapitulating phylogeny as observed via
fossils throughout the geologic column?

Eh, it wasn't really that new.

Aside from the mass of genetic tests, the potential for anachronistic
fossils, ERV's that don't fit common ancestry, etc...?

I won't. Just because you're ignorant of the facts doesn't mean they
don't exist.

It's not crazy, it's a demonstrable fact. One that we have continued
to observe occurring in the present.

Keep shouting, that always helps your case rather then presenting
factual arguments in a sound reasonable manner.

So that would make evolution a kind of Zenobiology?
