Once again someone who doesn't understand science uses half knowledge to attack established fact.  The evidence she's giving doesn't discredit Evolution.  It hits at DNA, but it's 20 years late.  Science knows that DNA isn't the end all and be all and that it also important how the traits are expressed.

Seems only to demonstrate that the genome can be impacted by enviromental factors.  Not exactly ground breaking.  Also, I'd like to see the technical specs on the study.  "Men in a small town in Sweden" does not seem to indicate a large study group.

Dammit!  I was hoping to catch a consenting opinion first.   :P

Now I don't know if there will be one.  I can't play Devil's Advocate on this one.

At least you have some standards.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.    -  Carl Sagan

Critical thinking is protected in Louisiana.  The thing is you're not allowed to be critical about the bible.
