Hello to all who continue to read. I am very excited about many of the comments being made. I would agree that science is a very powerful tool, even if it can never unequivocally prove all truth. Science leads us to a deeper understanding of the world around us. Ironically a fortune cookie I received the other day stated “Skepticism is the first step toward truth”. That is what this site is all about: taking a skeptical, but scientific look at the process of life and evolution.

I am very excited to write a bit about mutations, however, I must once again travel. I will be presenting some of my research at The American Ornithologist Union in Santa Barbra. (Really birds are not my specialty, but diversity in science is also good.) My research, done with another scientist, is titled “The Taxonomic Significance of Morphological Variation between Butorides striata & Sub-species Butorides s. sundevalli”.  I will be speaking on Friday at the convention. Hopefully some of you will be there. I look forward to reading more of your comments. Thanks!
