Where are you getting that PhD from? I’ll make sure my start-up clients avoid hiring anyone from that school.
Obviously, the ability to make money has nothing to do with the ability to understand science.
Anyway, the 2008 Republican Platform on human embryonic stem cells is to ban all research including privately funded research. Unfortunately, they still haven’t addressed the issue of throwing IVF embryos in the trash after the families are done. Odd, isn’t it.
PS The creationists abandoned the eye argument around 10 years ago (sort of like how they avoid talking about our vestigal tailbone). Stay on the agenda, it’s about intelligent design as a whole–avoid using actual body parts as creationism examples because science does advance (which sort of explains the 2 billion to 4 billion difference–better science). Seriously, with all these advances in the world of chip design/manufacture, you can’t comprehend advances in the life sciences (like PCR, RNAi)? Don’t be a tool….
