PZ is a proper scientist, Khandro. Again, haven't seen the whole thing. But the first diagrams are taken straight from the opening chapter of Meyer's book. Here Meyer shows his first diagram (of the fossil record from the Cambrian , the new phyla appearing as discrete and unconnected vertical lines) alongside a schematic of the same phyla as represented by the "tree of life" as inferred by Darwinism with its various nodes and branches. PZ overlaid the one on top of the other to illustrate Meyer's conclusion more clearly than the ID man himself: that all the nodes and branches are missing. PZ went on to describe this as a misrepresentation of the evidence, as many of the "missing" intermediate forms do occur in the (geologically) brief period of the Cambrian (20+ million years) itself and in the fossil record of the pre-Cambrian (mainly soft bodied animals). I'm afraid all my natural prejudices combine to accept PZ's case and reject Meyer's. I have given you chapter and verse, by the way, of Meyer's demonstrable distortion of the words of the divine Eugenie Scott.
I can understand, by the way, that PZ's demeanour can seem provocative and irritating. Dr. Miller on the other hand is always impeccably gracious, just as is
Yours faithfully,
