Topic: Evolution
Quote: I say new, beneficial traits arise across a given population at the same time because the traits arise from within each creature. Likewise genes may be transferred from one species to another horizontally, without selection.
Response: The latter does happen, though not often enough to explain evolution. Again, your're bending over backwards to exclude one part of the ToE, but you're using other parts of the ToE to try and do so. And you can certainly 'say' whatever you like; what would help is some evidence.\n
