"Perhaps so . But you realize that the reason it gets used in medicine is because it works . Did you know , for example , that clindamycin , an antibiotic , can be used to safely kill certain non-bacterial parasites ? Do you know why ? Check out Carl Zimmer 's excellent Parasite Rex for the answer ."
"So youÂ ’ re saying we would not have clindamycin without the ToE ? The ToE is supposed to be defined as changes in alleles , not changes in anything someone wishes to assign it to . It seems that in addition to the term evolution being broadened to mean just about any change , it is also substituted for the word Â “ scienceÂ ” at will . Notice how it was done in post # 2 above . The word Â “ evolutionÂ ” was dropped , and the word Â “ scienceÂ ” replaced it . What are the possibilities that evolution is Â “ brought in as a narrative glossÂ ” after a discovery , rather than being a cornerstone of all of biology , or all of science ?
