Topic: Evolution
Quote: You said that the colour changes are caused by a single gene. This further goes to imply that a mutation could disable the primary gene and activate the recessive gene. This is of course IMHO. What you classify as evolution, I call \xe2\x80\x9cvariation within a kind\xe2\x80\x9d. You aren\xe2\x80\x99t working off the big picture idea.
Response: And you don\'t have any picture. You have no idea of what recessive really means, do you. Actually, since the first observation of a black peppered moth in 1848, several other mutations have caused other variations of color in peppered moths. They are intermediate between the typica and the carbonaria, but they are extremely rare. These alleles form a hierarchy of dominence in which the carbonaria is the full dominant, and the typica is fully recessive.\nPlease define "kind." Please define "variation." Please explain the origin of this "variation in kind."
